Testimonials

Heidi is an amazing public speaker and I have personally requested her to speak at events about her life experiences. Where some people provide too much information and the message is lost; Heidi has the ability to drive her point home, make an incredible impact and resonate her story to every person in attendance. She has influenced how I deliver messages throughout my company and to my staff.

– Kellie Brindley, Chief Human Resources, Department of Homeland Security

Brave, kind, witty, smart, compassionate and caring... just a few words to describe Heidi but this list could go on and on. She has the rare ability to connect quickly with people and truly reach them with her message. From one-to-one conversations to speaking to thousands, everyone feels her story personally and because of that, wants to act and help. She also understood the nuances of our community and wove that into her talk with only a few hours notice. She is truly a gifted speaker and an inspiration to me.

– Jennifer Jurgens, CEO, 1 Bold Step

Heidi has been a speaker at Google for many years. She's an amazing and engaging speaker and makes everyone feel very comfortable in spite of the uncomfortable subject she spoke about- her personal breast cancer story. Heidi is highly regarded here at the Chicago office and we all look forward to having her speak.

– Tina Vasbinder

I feel so blessed to have met Heidi at a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. It so happened that Heidi and I had a few minutes to get to know one another before she took the stage and I mean she took command of the group of people who were present. I felt I had a personal interest in paying attention as I had already heard Heidi's story details. Heidi's manner and grace were captivating and I would highly recommend Heidi as a speaker.

– Chevin Woodruff, President Splendor Mountain Events

I have the utmost respect for her engaging speaking abilities and her tireless, creative, kind, approachable spirit. She taught me so much about raising awareness and money for a worthwhile cause. She has a wonderful way of drawing listeners into her story and making it a bigger story, one that touches us all. She is engaging and supportive one on one and phenomenal as a public speaker.
