A purpose-driven leader and executive coach with over 30 years of experience transforming teams and organizations toward sustainable growth and operational excellence.

That experience was forged in high-pressure, high-volume environments, brands like Starbucks, Boston Pizza, and Wendy's, where the pace is relentless, expectations are high, and burnout is often treated as the cost of doing business. Decades of leading real teams through that kind of pressure is what eventually shaped a philosophy I now call Harmonized Leadership: the ability to align purpose, people, and performance in a way that drives results without losing yourself in the process.

For years, I believed success meant pushing harder and doing more. What I came to understand is that success without alignment inevitably leads to burnout, no matter how strong it looks on paper.

That realization, along with my own personal journey of redefining what success truly means, is what led me to create Harmony with Heather.

Today, I work with leaders who are ready for a more sustainable way of performing at a high level, one where performance still matters, but not at the expense of clarity, self-trust, and how they show up every day.

My approach is grounded in years of leading real teams through real pressure, combined with my training as an Executive and Business Coach (CPC, ELI-MP). I help leaders strengthen how they lead themselves, navigate complexity with intention, and build teams that thrive over the long term.

Because leadership should not cost you who you are, or your edge that makes you effective. There is a way to lead that sustains both.

The way I live this work in my own life is simple, you’ll find me in the garden, immersed in a great book, or cooking a beautiful meal with my family, with my pup Rudy never too far away.
