Courageously bounce forwards, not back
Our greatest skill as professionals during these uncertain times is being able to embrace change and extract insights from our challenges so we can keep moving forward. We know now more than ever before that adversities come in all shapes and sizes … but so do opportunities. When we find the courage to maximise the opportunities in our challenges, it allows us to continue to grow as professionals and become better leaders, better mentors, better colleagues and better humans.
You will learn about:
- Mindset Management - how to quickly change from feels of overwhelm into focus and determination so you can show up to the next meeting, sales presentation, customer call or performance appraisal with optimism and assertiveness.
- Mentally Healthy Workplaces - how to implement the non-negotiable qualities that create a psychologically safe environment for yourself, your colleagues and your clients.
- Micro-wins - how to keep your momentum going by acknowledging the small milestones along the way, which enables you to continue to strive for your big, hairy, audacious goals.
This inspiring presentation is based on the insights Heidi learned from leading the planning, building (and eventual destruction) of a community library on a remote tropical island, and the impact that courage has when striving to achieve professional goals.

Replenish your resilience resources
To have a resilient organisation we first need resilient leaders and teams. This presentation is designed to help you replenish your professional resilience resources so you can better deal with the curveballs and cannonballs that we can’t control.

- Performance - a strategy on how to flip your automatic response to stressful situations and conversations into a high-performing state of flow so you can get more done, in less time, with fewer mistakes.
- Perseverance - to proactively replenish your resilience resources with my signature 5-part formula that will help you to persevere when everything feels overwhelming which will mean you can bend rather than break during high-pressured times.
This inspiring presentation is based on the resilience and perseverance insights Heidi learned from hitting rock bottom after petrol bombs were thrown at her room during an overseas volunteer mission, with the intention to burn her and her team alive while they slept.

Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Bangkok - The Audience Loved Her

We loved working with Heidi and I have no doubt if you book her you will be just as thrilled.”
Peter Baines, Company Director, Hands Across The Water
