Choose the Right Experience for Your System
I’ve put together three ways we can partner to make this happen—ranging from virtual gatherings to deep-dive, in-person sessions. I wanted to make sure there was an option for every budget and every size of team.

Best for single-site facilities or pilot programs
System Impact
Keynote + three Boost Sessions (AM / PM / NOC), deeper customization, Leader Toolkit, One-page huddle guide, plus a bonus custom video or leader debrief
Best for multi-site systems and retention-focused CNOs

Best for systems making retention a strategic priority
Heather is a dynamic speaker who not only connects with her audience but spends intentional time to tailor her content to the audience. The keynote she presented was practical and resonated with all attendees. I cannot recommend Heather highly enough.

Heather spoke to more than 200 leaders as part of Mosaic's annual leadership event on the topic of "The Art of Active Listening". She was inspiring, engaging and had a clear message to share. Participants were engaged in learning about The Cycle of Active Listening and when sharing their takeaways from the two day event people acknowledged the need to improve listening skills and apply these practical techniques. Heather is a relatable presenter and it is obvious that she has great strategies to share! It was pleasure to have Heather join us and I look forward to working with her again!

Heather has partnered with SCA Health on several pillar events as a trusted, professional partner and resource. Prior to our events, she went above and beyond and met with our leadership team creating a custom presentation and workshops that complimented her main stage keynotes.
Her message of Caring Leadership resonated and was overwhelmingly well received by our teammates. She was also flexible and pivoted to a new format with ease. Our CEO enjoyed Heather so much that he joined her on her podcast.
