Through her books, keynote stages, podcast, and the rapidly growing Confidence & Sales Masterclass for Women, Heather equips leaders with actionable systems to lead with strength, not stress.

With over 332,000 followers on LinkedIn and a global social footprint across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and podcast platforms, her voice reaches millions each month.

From Corporate Adversity to Global Confidence Leader

Heather’s story is not one of overnight success, it is one of resilience.

After ascending through the corporate world and becoming a C-suite revenue executive, she faced a major career setback when she was unexpectedly terminated by another female executive. Instead of allowing it to break her, she used it as the catalyst that redirected her entire life.

That moment became her pivot.

She wrote her first bestselling book, Confidence Creator, sharing raw lessons on rebuilding yourself after adversity. The book went viral, launching her into keynote speaking, media appearances, and global leadership stages.

Her second bestseller, Overcome Your Villains, introduced the BAK Method, a three-step process for identifying, removing, and overcoming toxic people, environments, and beliefs that sabotage progress.

Rather than retreat from the corporate world, Heather built a new one, on her own terms.

Today, she stands on the global stage teaching leaders how to transform setbacks into power, fear into fuel, and adversity into revenue-driving confidence.

Mission: Confidence That Drives Revenue

Heather’s work goes far beyond motivation. Her philosophy connects confidence to measurable business outcomes:

Confidence > Better decisions > Stronger teams > Higher performance > Revenue growth.

Through keynotes, consulting, executive coaching, and her proprietary Monahan Method, she equips leaders with:

• Tactical systems for building daily confidence

• Leadership frameworks that enhance performance

• Sales strategies rooted in psychology and communication

• Evidence-based techniques for eliminating “villains” in both workplace and mindset

• Tools that elevate hiring, promotion, retention, and team culture

  
  

Her results speak for themselves:

• Bestselling books with thousands of global readers

• A top-ranked business podcast with millions of downloads

• Keynotes delivered to audiences as large as 250,000 (LEAP)

• Major media exposure (Forbes, USA Today, Success Magazine, Steve Harvey, CNN, and more)

  
  

Heather isn't just teaching confidence, she is operationalizing it.
