SPEAKER TOPICS Topic: Treasure Hunt Your Life - Discover Your Passion Steve Job said it best, "People with passion can change the world" - and yet so many of us have no idea what our true passion in life is. We spend countless hours in search of it, but never take the time to truly understand what it is. Through ground-breaking discoveries, stories and insightful tools, Heidi inspires and teaches an audience how to treasure hunt their own life. Each person’s passion and purpose can’t be found in a pill or the latest workout, it’s buried deep inside and can only be discovered by deciphering our own "Why" in life. Topic: The Simple Recipe To Become A Positive Successful Leader When attempting to create a new dish, you have two options, wing it or follow a recipe. If you take a stab at it and you happen to be a natural cook it might turn out just fine. Yet, if you leave one main ingredient out the final dish becomes hard to stomach. A successful positive leader requires the same attention to details. Through inspiring stories, and a simple leadership ingredient list of presence, respect, integrity, vision, and credibility, Heidi motivates an audience to Michelin star status. Topic: Finding the Courage to Follow Your Dreams We aren’t born with a perfectly clear answer as to what our purpose is. It’s a struggle almost every person goes through—a struggle because we become so distracted by work, daily commitments, goals, and other people’s opinions. Our awareness of our unique life purpose and our dreams are easily dimmed, leaving us feeling lost, lonely, unfulfilled, and depressed. Through Heidi's personal journey from an emotional breakdown to an inspiring breakthrough, Heidi inspires and motivates an audience to find their courage to follow their dreams positivepeoplearmy.com
