Working with Heidi has been transformational for me. She challenges me to think about situations from multiple vantage points and figures out how to get the best out of my team.
My growth as a leader is directly tied to working with Heidi. She is a highly effective executive coach who walks the line perfectly between pushing you and your potential, and celebrating your progress. I love her! 😊

“I started working with Heidi about 18 months into my tenure as CEO, and at first it felt like a bit of an indulgence but I soon realized it was essential to my growth as a leader.
In the early days, she put a variety of concepts and tools in my path and they are things I go back to again and again. Now I use the time to problem solve, ‘unpack’ my current challenges, and find a way to move forward on complex situations.

“What a great asset Heidi has been to our team. We have worked with her on recruiting projects and team building initiatives. We found her creative and insightful approach invaluable to the team. We also have engaged Heidi as a coach to some of the key staff – always believing that we all are better with a coach. Heidi in essence became part of our team and was able to assist key leaders in advancing their leadership approach and in turn – able to produce better results for the corporation. I would recommend Heidi without reservation!”

I had the opportunity to be a part of Heidi's "Emerging Leaders" program last year. From day one, Heidi brought so much energy, wisdom, and perspective to our group. Each person in the program had very different backgrounds, personalities, and department responsibilities – which can sometimes make workshops challenging. Heidi saw this as a strength instead of a hurdle. She challenged and showed us how to increase empathy individually and as a team. Through various tools and exercises, Heidi dug deep into what made each of us "tick," teaching us how to communicate more effectively with each other once we had that shared knowledge. One year later, my colleagues and I still use the tools Heidi gave us! This program brought us much closer as a group, and we had a ton of fun along the way. Some may call her processes unconventional, but once we all released our egos and let our guard down, the workshops were a game-changer for our emerging leaders' group! 😊

“The Light Switch by Heidi Frye is both an excellent tutorial for leaders wanting to hone their leadership skills thereby enhancing their impact and an insightful guide to self-awareness. The author was clever in engaging the reader into active retrospection, which simply couldn’t be avoided, and therefore a richer experience. The thing I loved most about the book is that the insight and lessons apply not only to leaders, but to all that are involved in relationships-both professional and personal, which of course is most everyone. When I finished the book, I found wanting to read more by this author.

I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET TO WORK WITH HEIDI THROUGH AN EMERGING LEADERS TRAINING THAT SHE FACILITATED AT OUR COMPANY. I’VE BEEN IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS FOR A HANDFUL OF YEARS, AND I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH HEIDI MUCH EARLIER IN MY JOURNEY.
SHE BROUGHT US PRACTICAL AND EFFECTIVE TOOLS THAT WE COULD IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT WITHIN OUR TEAMS. WHILE GOING THROUGH THIS 6-MONTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THERE WERE A HANDFUL OF TAKEAWAYS, BUT THE TWO THAT HAD THE GREATEST IMPACT IN MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE WERE: 1) GAINING A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO INTERACT WITH A VARIETY OF PEOPLE, AND 2) FURTHER DEFINING WHO I WANT TO BE AS A LEADER.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO GROW IN YOUR CAREER AND/OR BECOME A MORE EFFECTIVE LEADER, THEN I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND WORKING WITH HEIDI!
