HI
I'M HEATHER
In a pivotal era of unprecedented change—where technological disruption and global upheaval are compressing decades of transformation into years—we have a unique opportunity: to redesign work in ways that unleash human potential, if we're brave enough to seize this moment.
From award-winning industrial designer to globally recognized futurist, my journey has been driven by a relentless optimism that humans can solve any challenge.
I've designed pioneering products that earned national recognition, revolutionized higher education by creating an award-winning curriculum, and now guide Fortune 500 leaders through seismic change—helping organizations adapt at the speed of possibility.
But what drives me isn't the accolades—it's seeing organizations transform when they learn to harness their distinctly human advantages:
ADAPTABILITY, EMPATHY, and CURIOSITY to turn unprecedented challenges into extraordinary opportunities.
Through my bestselling books and global keynotes, I'm on a mission to help leaders do more than just respond to change—
I EQUIP THEM TO SOLVE TOMORROW’S PROBLEMSTM BY TEACHING THEM TO ASK BETTER QUESTIONS TODAY.
THE FUTURE IS
HUMAN-POWERED
In an age where many see AI and automation as threats to human work, I see unprecedented opportunity.
The key lies in understanding that technology isn't replacing human capability—it's expanding what's possible. By focusing on our uniquely human advantages—our ability to ask better questions, form unexpected connections, and imagine what's never existed—we can harness technological advancement to solve increasingly complex challenges at scale.
My approach is rooted in the belief that ADAPTATION isn't just about survival—it's about transformation.
Through my work with organizations worldwide, I've discovered that those who thrive aren't just responding to change—they're actively shaping it. This requires a fundamental shift: from viewing learning as a finite phase to embracing it as a continuous practice, from treating empathy as a soft skill to recognizing it as a strategic imperative, and from seeing humans as fungible cost units to valuing them as unique assets to be developed.
The future of work isn't something that happens to us—it's something we create together. By building cultures where curiosity is currency, where adaptation is second nature, where connection, belonging, and trust are carefully nurtured, and where human potential is fully activated, we can turn this era of unprecedented change into one of extraordinary achievement.
The organizations that understand this aren't just preparing for tomorrow's challenges—they're actively designing tomorrow's solutions, proving that
WHEN WE DARE TO REIMAGINE WHAT'S POSSIBLE, WE CAN CREATE FUTURES THAT EXCEED OUR MOST AMBITIOUS VISIONS.
