THAT’S WHEN I FOUNDED KRAFT YOUR SUCCESS.

About

Heidi Kraft

Founder & Executive Coach

Prior to becoming an executive coach, I spent nearly two decades building a media strategy career in advertising agencies, culminating as a Senior VP, Group Media Director at global agencies, working on leading brands such as Microsoft, Intel and Intuit. I built teams from the ground up and launched dozens of global brands for clients.

Ad agencies are a wonderful space of brilliant, fun, creative minds that come together to explore break-through ideas and strategies.

I liked the energy and artistic freedom of the advertising world…but what I loved was mentoring others and helping them develop their potential.

On learning I had been an advertising executive, a coaching colleague once exclaimed

“Wow! An executive coach that comes from a creative industry? That’s rare!”

While that may be true, my advertising industry perspective has helped me develop a unique approach to coaching that carves out an “experiential container” so that my clients have the space to explore, test, try, learn and transform. When I see an opportunity that seems ripe for exploration with leaders and teams, I pull out innovate tools in that moment that can open up clients to truly transformational thinking.

It’s a nimble, intuitive coaching style that delivers

life – and work – changing insights.

“I’m passionate about helping leaders transform

to foster the kind of professional fulfillment that leads to healthy, creative and dynamic workspaces.

“Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world.”

“…and while you can learn a lot from both the positive and negative role models around you, there is nothing that can replace spending concerted time and effort working on your leadership skills. I worked with Heidi for a few years in different roles at different companies, and gained much from our time together. She helped me master some simple basics that made me, and more importantly the people around me, happier and more effective. She provided helpful, outside counsel when experiencing conflict or concern, allowing me to navigate it, even change it, successfully. Heidi helps you understand what is working and how to exploit that. She also has a masterful way of helping you see blind spots and weaknesses and framing those in a constructive way.”
