I help audiences create their Workplace Villages so they can find their competitive edge, build momentum and retain talent.
It takes a village to retain working mothers.
Build yours.
I help leaders build workplaces where working mothers and caregivers remain high-producing, committed team members and coach moms to ask for what they need.

TERESA SAYS...
“Heather doesn't stop at surface-level advice.”
“She dives deep into the cultural norms, historical systems, and outdated workplace structures that still shape how we show up and burn out.”
KATIE SAYS...
“Heather's experience both as a working mother and corporate leader shine through.”
“Her insights offer an idea or ten for anyone leading others.”
Hello! I’m HEATHER
Workplace Advisor + Change Leader
Heather is a former corporate executive who spent 30+ years in management consulting leading teams at firms like KPMG and Booz Allen before walking away when she refused to push her exhausted team harder during COVID.
That pivotal moment crystallized what she'd learned across decades of building high-performing teams: your people ARE the product, and the companies that win are the ones that build Workplace Villages, not just workplaces.
As Founder and CEO of The Power Lane, she helps leaders build Workplace Villages that keep working caregivers engaged and productive. When you build a workplace that works for working parents, you don't just retain talent. You attract the best, you accelerate performance, and you build the kind of culture that drives business results.
Heather is a keynote speaker, executive coach, and author of The Power Lane: Why Keeping Moms in the Workforce REVS the Economy.
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF YOU ARE...
a Working Mother trying to find your footing without losing yourself,
or a LEADER WHOse BEST PEOPLE ARE LEAVING AND YOU'RE READY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
either way, you are here because you know
there's a better way.
SPEAKING
KEYNOTES,
BREAKOUT SESSIONS,
WORKSHOPS
Heather brings the Workplace Village framework to life for leadership teams, executive audiences, and company-wide events connecting the business case for retention to the human case for culture change.
Whether it's a keynote, breakout session, or practical workshop, audiences leave with a clear framework and concrete next steps for building workplaces where people do their best work.
COACHING
1:1 & GROUP COACHING
One-on-one coaching is focused, private, and built around your specific situation. We work through the noise together so you can find your voice, reclaim your direction, and show up the way you actually want to.
Group coaching is where you find your voice alongside women navigating the same terrain and discover that the obstacles you thought were personal are actually systemic. You'll leave with clarity, community, and a plan you'll actually use.

THE VILLAGE
The Village is a membership community for working mothers who are done going it alone. This is your soft place to land. A space to rebuild confidence, find belonging, and be seen by women who get it. Not a networking group. Not a self-help program. A village. Because you were never meant to do this by yourself.
