Ignite Your Vision
Do you have a vision and need help creating the plan to reach it? Whether it is a new business, community initiative, collaboration or business growth, Heather can assist with an assessment, timeline, task creation and project management; all of this to help your vision become a reality.

Sometimes a project in your business is just overwhelming and you need organized and detailed short-term help to manage or coordinate. Maybe it is organizing a special event, new ideas, or staff/customer appreciation assistance; no matter the need, Heather is willing to discuss the project and honestly tell you if her strengths are a good fit to help.
