| On Individual Development
“After receiving a promotion into a managerial position, I worked with Heidi to make sure the transition from individual contributor to manager was successful. We worked on how to become an effective leader and coach with more skills in effective delegation and time management as well as how to enhance my executive presence. Stepping back on a regular basis to strategize about these issues and think through tools and techniques ensured a successful transition and has given me a significant career boost.”Caroline, Management Consultant, San Francisco “In the age of blackberries and power lunches; happy hour spin class and instant messaging, where long days and encroached-upon weekends are the norm, few of us take time at all to check in on our emotional health. Heidi did a fantastic job in helping me objectively look at how I was interacting with the zany world around me and where my interactions might have been holding me back or creating unnecessary noise or negativity. We were able to set goals for how I wanted ultimately to be showing up and then set strategies and establish the skills to make sure that that message was coming through my interactions in the world. What a difference it’s made in how people react to me and the richness with which I see relationships all around me. Thank you, thank you! I feel like I’ve added 20 years to my emotional life.”Senior Analyst, Franklin Templeton, San Francisco “I couldn’t recommend a better coach than Heidi! She is truly invested in her client’s needs and helps them to stretch their thinking and discover their unique dreams. Heidi has a unique style that is very comfortable to connect with. She is understanding, compassionate, supportive, encouraging and she keeps you challenged to think deeper and explore new areas. Her techniques and creativity provide an opportunity to have some fun along the way. As a result of our coaching sessions, I have had several life changes. I was given a promotion opportunity to work for a company in a location of our dreams. My husband and our children recently relocated and are thrilled in our new surroundings. Heidi helped me to listen to my inner voice and focus on what’s most important to me and my family to pursue our dreams. Thank you!!”SVP, Learning & Leadership Development – Bank of America, Charlotte “Working with Heidi allowed me to envision a future that I hadn’t considered! She is skilled at helping one discover their true passions and those areas that bring fulfillment in life.

Joseph, San Francisco “Heidi’s intuitive approach to coaching helped me become unstuck in an area that had I had been stuck in for over 20 years in just one session.”J B, Actress, Los Angeles “ I came to a point in my professional life when I know I needed a career change, but I didn’t know where to start or how to begin. Heidi helped me evaluate my needs and gave me realistic goals to begin the “life change” I was so desperate for. She also held me accountable for my progress which gave me the push I needed to keep up the pace. Within 2 months from our first meeting I successfully quit my corporate job with enough free-lance work to keep me financially sound. I never would have been able to go through that change without Heidi. I honestly owe my new found sanity and happiness to her. Thank you Heidi!” “It’s been an absolute amazing experience working with Heidi. Her acute intuitiveness and excellent communications skills gives her an advantage to get at the heart of the matter very quickly. I’ve been so fortunate to have her guide me through this period in my life and never expected to have such astonishing results. Coaching really works!” Kath – Manager, Los Angeles On Team Development “The 3 hours felt like only 1 hour, with all of us not wanting the session to end, and wanting more. It was gentle and provocative at the same time. The exercises really helped me to shift my focus and to boldly look at our team’s quality of energy. I have even more appreciation for each team member as a result of their honesty and vulnerability in this session. Simon and Heidi were brilliant guides through this process – thank you, both!” “Heidi and Simon are both very passionate about leadership and this comes through in their approach to teaching. I would highly recommend this to others and look forward to the possibility of more sessions with them in the future.” “I thoroughly enjoyed the time with Simon and Heidi. We were all able to step away from our usual mind set of our day to day routines, and focus on us, the E&T team as a whole. They were able to provide us a venue wherein we could openly discuss how we see ourselves as individuals, and as a member of the larger “system” as well. Most importantly, it was very reassuring throughout the morning how relaxed and open the environment was. It was easy to speak our minds, without being judged for it. Goes a long way.” Take advantage of a FREE SAMPLE SESSION. Call 415-810-6223 or email heidi@kraftyoursuccess.com for more details! |
