  • If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten. Ready for what’s next? New growth requires new approaches, which is exactly what attendees will learn during this presentation from Heather Whaling. Heather shares her tips and tricks – plus a few hard-earned lessons along the way – about how she built a multi-million dollar business, with consistent year-over-year growth, despite two recessions, a global pandemic and zero outside investors. Attendees will gain new strategies and processes to implement, inspiring their teams to think bigger and bolder, while accelerating growth and impact along the way.

  • Like life, business rarely goes according to plan. But those detours can either be setbacks that derail us or reframed as catalysts for growth. Infusing deeply personal stories, hard-earned business lessons, and relatable anecdotes, Heather will share how rewriting the rules, befriending her anxiety, and refusing to do business “the way it’s always been done” helped her build a multi-million dollar company. We’ve entered a new era of work, which requires a new style of leadership. Drawing on her experience building a business that grew every year, despite two recessions and a global pandemic, Heather will share her five pillars of leadership, including Compassion as a Benefit and Give More, Grow More. Attendees will gain specific, actionable strategies to implement immediately to fuel growth, elevate teams and innovate workplaces.

  • People. Purpose. Profits. Can leaders prioritize all three?

    The better question is: Can you afford not to?

    Heather will introduce attendees to her “Give More. Grow More.” model, which catapulted her business into a multi-million-dollar firm, with consistent year-over-year growth, despite two recessions, a global pandemic and zero outside investors. While traditional business models historically focused on maximizing profit, Heather’s approach starts with aligning around a shared purpose and committing to people’s well-being – which leads to financial gain. Heather will share personal anecdotes and case studies to illustrate how companies that embrace a “do well by doing good” mentality deliver healthy profits with strong growth trajectories. Attendees will leave inspired to positively impact their part of the universe through intentional actions, a giving mindset and rewriting the rules (when necessary) – all while meaningfully contributing to the bottom line.

  • Heather can design and facilitate a workshop for your team on a range of topics - from strategic communication planning … to crystallizing the anchors of your community giving. The list is (almost) endless. Email Heather directly to begin the brainstorming.
