Your partner for a more effective workplace.

Shaping a workplace where people achieve their full potential within an organizational culture that supports them.

We help you create places and spaces for individuals and organizations to thrive in an everchanging workplace landscape. By supporting leaders and executives to understand and support mental health in the workplace, it leads to better overall performance and organizational culture.

Building a great organization is founded in creating space where everyone works towards a common mission and vision, feels a sense of belonging and feels a part of the greater good. My goal in partnering with your organization is to create sustainable and impactful strategies, complete data driven assessments, and build awareness through coaching leaders that truly support mental health in the workplace.

By establishing psychologically safety and health in your workplace, you are investing in your employees – your most valued asset. The continuum of mental health issues affects everyone, and these types of illnesses increase concerns with absenteeism, presenteeism, talent attraction and retention. Promoting a mentally healthy workplace can assist in reducing the negative impact and the associated costs, and improve efficiency overall.

The creation of an open, inclusive, and connected environment in organizations founded in empathy, understanding and humanity will enable a greater transparency and acceptance of human challenges. The impact of stress and burnout on our work environment and our employees has demanded that we make psychological health and safety a priority in all levels of the organization to drive systemic organizational change.

“Over the years I have worked with Heather on various projects and have found her experience to be invaluable. She is a solid, reliable resource. She has coached me through challenges experienced when attempting to re-integrate staff members who have been off work due to mental illness. She understands the re-integration is not just about the staff member returning, but also about those with whom the individual works. Because of her knowledge in mental health, she is keenly aware of the line between supporting the returning staff member, and becoming too involved. Heather is also an excellent strategist. Her leadership experience has provided her with many opportunities to set organizational strategy, which she executes, evaluates and course-corrects when the unexpected happens. Her approach includes encouraging staff to participate as strategies are operationalized, and supporting them through the changes which occur to their processes and jobs as a result of organizational strategy changes, including coaching managers in effectively coaching their own staff.”
