Heather helps leaders and organizations move forward in complex situations with no clear answers.
When things feel stuck, it’s rarely a lack of effort. Something underneath hasn’t been named. Heather makes hidden patterns visible and builds a path forward that holds.
She has spent decades in nonprofit boardrooms, working with organizations from one million to thirty five million dollars in budget. Her work centers on governance: helping boards understand their role and strengthen the board-ED partnership.
She is a TEDxMinneapolis speaker and former adjunct instructor with graduate degrees from the University of St. Thomas and SUNY Buffalo.
What are you navigating? Let’s get to work.

Clients do their best work when they are willing to slow down long enough to name what is actually happening.
In our work together, we focus on:
I bring structure to the conversation and stay with it when it gets uncomfortable, so teams can move through it instead of around it.
The work leads to measurable outcomes across teams, leadership, and the broader network.
