Some of my former colleagues have said some well-observed things about me.
I've included just two of their recommendations.
The first one is long, but I think it lets you know what you're letting yourself in for when you work with me.

The second one is short and uses salty language.
Take your pick.
The long one
"My journey with Heather began when I was still relatively early in my career as a green account manager. What struck me most was Heather's consistent treatment of everyone on the team—regardless of position or experience, she saw each individual for who they were and extended her full support. Heather's commitment to fostering successful working relationships, regardless of hierarchy, is truly admirable.
Heather possesses a unique superpower—one rooted in her unyielding sense of justice and standards. She champions the underdog and is unapologetic in her advocacy for inclusivity. If a company's practices deviated from its values or rewarded the wrong behaviours, Heather would be quick address these discrepancies. Her candid feedback, though sometimes challenging, always aimed to strengthen the organisation and align its actions with its principles. This is not for everyone. If you hire Heather, be open to harsh truths, but ones that will transform a business.
A progressive leader in every sense, Heather's approach is grounded in science, psychology, and evidence. She has a knack for optimising team dynamics and driving collective performance. One of the highlights of my time with Heather was collaborating on the Developing Female Talent board, an experience that fuelled my personal sense of activism.
Heather is one of the rare gems who can see the problem, imagine the solution, and make it happen, bringing people with her along the way. Her ability to envision and execute solutions is truly remarkable.
Working with Heather meant being prepared to be challenged (respectfully), pushed (compassionately), and empowered to produce exceptional work together. She creates an environment where individuals can thrive and do their best work collectively.
In essence, Heather is a visionary leader who embodies integrity, inclusivity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Her contributions to any team or organisation are invaluable, and I wholeheartedly recommend her."

"Heather is one of the people who actually gives a shit."
