25.01.2022 12 years ago I welcomed 2 little boys into my life that now I call my stepsons. They are now 17 and 19. I often wish I would have been a better 'mum', paid more attention to them, stepped away from my work a bit more, shared more advice and stories, told them more often how proud I am etc... things I'm sure most parents feel. So today, my partner and I went to visit the oldest one at work. He has worked there for a while and we have never visited. With everything that i...s going on in the world right now this quote really resonates with me. Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. So today, I visited Kurtis.

21.01.2022 A little on my journey to becoming a leading professional development facilitator and 1 of only 10 international Facebook trainers: When I was younger I wanted to be an actress, I even got accepted into an acting school in Beverly Hills after an audition when I was 15. Being painfully shy as a child made the fact I was attracted to the stage very interesting, and somehow, years later, here I am! I have been speaking, teaching and training since moving to Australia in 2003. I always do my best to simplify even the most complex 'stuff’, determined to communicate in a way that my audience understands so as to inspire them about their business’. Perhaps it's the inner "actress" coming out because I honestly love it; I feel empowered, grateful and at home on stage doing what I do.

20.01.2022 "If it makes you nervous then say YES! A comfort zone can be a dangerous thing." MC-ing Momentum 2020: I am used to speaking on stage teaching my own material and love it! In fact, I have spoken on the Entourage's stages since 2015, and later turned into what they call a 'Vision Partner’, or mentor, who works with their members who are all trying to grow their businesses.... As soon as I was approached to be an MC I said yes instantly. I knew it would push me out of my comfort zone introducing an incredible caliber of speakers as well as looking after all the attendees... so from 10am - 4pm on the 15th Sept that is exactly what I did - and I even did an outfit change just to mix things up! I loved every moment. Photos from the event: Heather's View: the screen of some of the 1,400+ attendees Camera View: where I would intro speakers Heather and Jack: celebration at the end with @jackdelosa - Founder of @theentourageofficial and long time friend. Thank you for having me, and for everyone’s involvement on #momentum2020
19.01.2022 "I Am Because We Are" ... I love organisations that work to make positive change within the world by empowering their tribe. Thanks for having me at your Reimagine your Practice event today Australian Traditional Medicine Society for my talk on "6 Things Your Website Needs to Get Leads and Make Sales". You are helping natural medicine practitioners shine bright and reach more people who need their help. I shared a stage with this amazing one today Kirryn Zerna who is a master at teaching storytelling online. Check her out!
19.01.2022 I'm so honoured to teach a few of these upcoming workshops by Facebook Australia - we will head out to 8 bushfire affected communities to support the local businesses to get back on their feet. How amazing is this?! Facebook is offering phone-based coaching and advice with a Facebook Small Business Support Specialist, a $200 AUD advertising coupon to help reach more customers and free Boost with Facebook workshops. I'll be at the Bairnsdale, Katoomba and Hahndorf locations. Locations and dates for all the sessions are below. Please spread the word if you know someone who has been affected in these locations. They can learn more here http://facebook.com/boost/bushfires
17.01.2022 Often times when I begin working with a new client they reflect back that they currently feel hostage to their website, or the team that built it. It was with this knowledge that the unique client focused approach that is #websitelove was formed. All of our sites are built using a visual page builder that you (our client) receive training on. This training provides and empowers you with the confidence and skills to update your pages, and even create new ones, easily & all by yourself! It is important to love your website; that you feel empowered and proud of it. And we believe that having control of your site is the best way to do that.
16.01.2022 Hi guys. I have launched a new business called The 5K Wedding . Don't worry I won't be sharing wedding stuff on my page from now on. I'm sharing this post because so many of us are stuck at home, and I thought some of you might be interested in being a part of an online wedding - maybe you know a couple whose wedding was cancelled and they don't want to wait to get married or you just like the idea of sharing in the journey of an online wedding. If you are interested have a look below. I hope you are holding up with the craziness out there.

14.01.2022 Stay curious. About 12 years ago I took a group of entrepreneurs to Cambodia, a trip that was part of the Billionaire Adventure Club that I used to run. While we were all perched on the rooftop of a building next to the Royal Palace, I started up a conversation with one of the members, who was VERY successful. He said to me that he does not like to hang out with people who say the words "I already know that." It's something that has always stuck with me and helps me to keep an open mind wherever I go.
13.01.2022 Yesterday 2 girlfriends and I braved minus 110-170 degrees celcius in a cryotherapy chamber. Ok, we might have only been in the chamber for 2 min, but it was cold! How about you? What’s one thing new and a little scary you can do this week that will make you feel truly alive?
13.01.2022 Why work with Me I am 1 of only 10 Facebook trainers in Australia & New Zealand and have been building marketing campaigns and doing digital marketing training since 2010. So if you are feeling stuck let's chat; it is time to DM me!
12.01.2022 I just started my IN (1 tip in 1 min) trainings on my Website Love FB page. Thought you guys might like it here too.
11.01.2022 How are you leaving your mark on this world? Every exchange with another makes more of an impact than you know. Maybe that smile you give is just what someone needs who is having a bad day, or that compliment you share helps someone who is feeling insecure see their strengths. Just remember "Do to others what you want them to do to you."... And speaking of leaving your mark - I love good street art. The first two are in London and the second two in Lisbon.
11.01.2022 Hey FB friends! I am doing a training next week for Facebook on how to do Facebook Fundraising. If you, or someone you know, run a non-profit or want to be a little more savvy in fundraiser for others you might want to check this out
09.01.2022 Such a beautiful excuse for a quick break from scrolling the feeds to focus on how much greatness is in our world.
09.01.2022 I have recently done 3 trainings for Facebook. I thought I would share them with you guys in case you are interested. Here is training #1 on how to manage your Facebook and Instagram accounts better using Business Suite.
07.01.2022 Happy 15 years Business Chicks! I remember you when you were a baby. And now you are a true icon, as is your founder Emma Isaacs, in helping women in business in Australia. So...what is #myBusinessChicksmemory ? Where do I start? Can I choose 3? #1 - Speaking on your stages as a Trainer for Facebook in 2019 #2 - Being part of the original crew at one of the first events in Melbourne... #3 - Taking a road trip to the Hunter Valley for a planning retreat as part of that original team (this shot was during a quick pit stop on the way with the lovely Emma) I look forward to seeing what unfolds in the next 15 years!

07.01.2022 Be really clear on what you want but don't get too obsessed with how you get there. I find that when I focus on the "how" too much I close off to strange and wonderful opportunities that are actually the better steps for me to take. #trustyourself #enjoythejourney
07.01.2022 Who needs help starting or growing a Facebook Group? Now, more than ever, is the time to support our communities... and Facebook Groups are an easy way to do this.

You will see examples of what other businesses are doing, the different types of groups and when to use them, and tools you can use to save time as a group admin or moderator. If you watch my video in the group live the Facebook team will be on hand to answer your questions in the comments. (this is a rare thing and so worth getting feedback from them!)

06.01.2022 Are you making these 6 mistakes with your website?
06.01.2022 I thought I would share this view with you guys from Port Vila, in Vanuatu. It was a lovely reflective moment I had last night as the sun set after a whirlwind trip! I landed in Vanuatu Thursday morning at 3am (after a 12 hour flight delay!). Woke up at 7am and off to teach a half day workshop for 75 amazing local businesses. Then a quick walk around Port Vila in hot humid temperatures. Have a look at my stories to see the local chocolate.... After that a lovely dinner and a pint of the local beer, Tusker with Jodie and Jeremy, the team at Pacific Trade Invest who brought me out. This view is what we watched as we reminisced about the day. A 4:30am wake up call this morning and a 7am flight back to Sydney. And over these last 2 days I kept getting the blow by blow of the Coronavirus news. Things are moving fast. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Suspended flights from Europe to the USA. Traffic & Conversion Summit cancelled (a huge marketing conference) amongst many more public events, including some I was due to speak at. The Australian Coronavirus stimulus package for small businesses. I could go on. These are major moments that will leave lasting ripple effects. And they all happened in the very short amount of time I was away. I can't imagine what will happen in the continuing days. I am tired from the last 2 days, but I am also reminded of how important it is to not get wrapped up in hype, to stay grounded and grateful, to band together as a human race to support each other... and to not hoard toilet paper Here's to copious amounts of hand washing! #vanuatu #stayhealthymyfriends
05.01.2022 How is 2021 looking like for you this far? How are you going with your goals for the year? Have you got new creative ideas that you are contemplating putting into action?... Do them! Go for it! Dream big and take that leap. The world needs you and your voice more than ever. It's time to step out of your comfort zone and start! Just start, whatever the dream is; start that podcast, do more videos, write more, paint, teach, share... whatever gift for sharing the wisdom you have; do that! Here I am where I feel most at home; In front of a video camera in the Sydney Facebook Studio recording training sessions. For me, video works - but you won't find me writing much! What is it for you? Where do you feel most empowered, excited and driven to excel? Go out there and share that; teach & empower with the unique strength that only you have your story.
05.01.2022 Doing some filming at my computer for Facebook. Anyone else been rocking the ‘business on top cozy on the bottom’ look lately? #covidstyle #workfromhomelife
05.01.2022 Meet my fellow Facebook Community Trainers. I am blown away by how amazing these people are. We teach the Boost with Facebook Program to small business owners in Australia and New Zealand. We just spent the last 2 days at the Facebook HQ in Sydney and I was reminded of how truly important community is. Not only did we learn about how Facebook is focusing more on creating and helping more communities on and offline, we were reminded of how important it is in our own lives. ... And for me it is a big theme this year because it is something I need to work on. Not trying to do everything myself... asking for help... and remembering that we can accomplish so much more when we work together. So...Find your tribe and love them hard.
04.01.2022 Facebook asked me, and 2 of my other fellow Facebook Trainers "What are your top tips for small businesses as we head into the end of 2020?" Listen in now to get some great tips!
