Where People Meet Productivity - How to Build a Workplace Village That Drives Results
After an hour with HEATHER, your audience will have the tools they need to:
Empower Every Level: Create a culture where everyone— from junior employees to seasoned executives — can step in when life pulls a colleague away.
Calculate the ROI of Support: Understand why your people ARE the product—and why investing in your village costs far less than the churn of replacing talent.
Build Momentum Through Connection: Design an environment where psychological safety + mutual support = teams that go the extra mile and produce beyond expectations.
Turn Empathy into Strategy: Transform what others see as "accommodation" into the competitive advantage that attracts and retains top talent.
Design Your Village: Build a workplace that works for all 5 generations and the 70% of your team who are caregivers—because flexibility isn't a perk, it's performance infrastructure.
