Testimonials

"The Audi Summit in Verbier on the topic of 'Driving Corporate Sustainability' was specially designed for women with vision, drive, innovative spirit and communication skills. Heidi's background in corporate and coaching made her a perfect fit. With a lot of enthusiasm and clarity, Heidi led the participants through a mindfulness session and showed how important presence in the moment is and how much it can increase one's impact as a leader."
Head of Marketing
Audi Switzerland, Head of Marketing
"Heidi gestaltete eine 4-monatige Mindfulness-Reise für unser Marketing-Team. Ihre Begeisterung für Achtsamkeit ist ansteckend und lädt ein zum Lernen und Mitmachen. Im Kick-Off Workshop erhielten wir Einblicke in die Kunst der Meditation und erfuhren vom Nutzen von Mindfulness. Die wöchentlichen Online-Sessions leitete Heidi mit Fokus auf die Anwendbarkeit im Arbeitsalltag. Ihre langjährige Erfahrung in diversen Führungspositionen ist dafür sehr wertvoll. Besonders gefallen hat uns, dass Heidi uns eine Bandbreite an unterschiedlichsten Meditations-Techniken nahe brachte. Der Abschluss-Workshop half dabei, das Gelernte zu integrieren. Als Team gehen wir nun achtsamer durch den (Arbeits-)Alltag und sind resilienter im Umgang mit Herausforderungen und Veränderungen, die jeder im Grossen und Kleinen erlebt."

"For our Women in Media network, Heidi gave an inspiring talk on the power of mindful eating, and how we can use mindfulness and nutrition as building blocks to success. She clearly showed us the connection between food and peak performance; that what we eat is not only relevant to our personal weight goals, but also creates the best possible conditions to our for professional ambitions too. Heidi was able to share this topic in a very engaging way and took time to answer questions. We highly recommend Heidi as a speaker."

Three weeks later, Heidi led a Q&A session for people to share their experiences with implementing these changes and have more in depth questions answered. Heidi's clear insight into how to pay more attention to personal wellbeing at work resonated with everyone and also contributed to a positive team dynamic."
