Heather Barrett is a coach and author with over 20 years of corporate and entrepreneurial business experience.
Heather works with exceptional people at a time of major change and decision, or simply because they have a desire to be the best versions of themselves and find their next level, personally and professionally.
She helps them to get clear on what is important to them, sharpen their focus, overcome conflicts and crisis situations quickly, get more stuff done without working longer hours and raise their energy and enthusiasm.
The results – her clients feel a renewed sense of purpose and direction, they make focused decisions, take bold actions, grow in leadership and get on with the vital business of performing, collaborating and contributing with excellence, in all aspects of their lives.
‘I have seen what it takes to be a high performer over the long term. It’s a pure desire to be better, to continually learn and to not settle for someone else’s standard of excellence when you know that to be true to yourself, you could achieve and contribute so much more.’ HB
As well as experiencing success, Heather has overcome painful and pivotal life events where she was forced to decide if they were going to define her, or whether she was going to learn from them, find her next level and contribute to the world in a meaningful, authentic and fulfilling way.
‘ I am dedicated to helping my clients rapidly develop and achieve at their highest level, in a way that is sustainable, energizing, fulfilling and totally aligned to who they are. That is what I do.’ HB
> YOU
You know that the greatest source of pressure will always come from you.
You don’t easily wear the label of ‘exceptional’, ‘high performer’ or ‘elite’ because you truly believe in the potential of everyone.
You also know that it takes true dedication, determination and tenacity to make excellence look easy.
You don’t have time for ‘the rules’, especially ones involving rank and status because you view attitude as being much more valuable than certificates and titles.
You are extremely impatient, more so than people realise because you look calm, in control and exude confidence whether or not your feel it.
You need things to go at a fast pace, to get results quickly, to have new experiences and to be challenged. You need to be surrounded by confident, intelligent, creative, driven and inspiring people.
You think differently to most people and see opportunities where others don’t. You need to be under the pressure of a deadline to really do your best work, especially if it is admin, which by the way you hate!
You know that responsibility and a desire to be the best you can be, can sometimes be a lonely place. And you have found that some people find your straight talking and problem solving ability abrasive, and that your genuine desire to help, sometimes gets mistaken for being bossy or arrogant.
What many don’t realise about you is the personal fulfilment you get from helping other people realise their potential. And that recognition and acknowledgement are still vital to you no matter how successful you become.
Right now you are either ready to take things to the next level personally and professionally, or you’ve become ‘stuck’ on an issue, situation or next course of action. It is proving excruciating and time consuming to get clear about, especially when everyone else has their opinion on what you should do.
‘I am continually inspired by what makes someone choose to learn from tough situations and be the best version of themselves, rather letting the circumstance define their attitude and performance.’ HB
> RESULTS
Working with Heather over the last 6 months has had the single biggest impact on enhancing my performance as an individual.
‘Through her powerful techniques, belief, encouragement, support and her incredible ability to connect with people, she has guided me to uncover the best version of myself both in business and in my personal life.’
‘Heather demonstrated an incredible ability to extract everything in my head and lay it out concisely in front of me. She then systematically helped me to put it all back in order with great clarity to give me the best possible chance of further and greater success.’
‘You cannot put a price on what Heather Barrett does. Heather has given me tools and a blueprint of excellence that helps me perform at my best every day. Her style is personalized, professional, fun and highly effective. She has been a true inspiration to me.’
‘Heather really helped me to shift my perspective and become more effective through a very challenging time. The effects of the work are still challenging and pushing me as I grow into a broader and more senior role. Through working with Heather I have started to really trust my instincts, play to my strengths and cut out the ‘noise’.’
‘Heather brings clarity, insight, a depth of experience and true passion for helping others realize their potential, which was a hugely valuable asset in optimizing my ability to build a high performance team.’
‘I wanted to thank you for the best advice I have ever received. I am truly indebted to you.’
>HEATHER
Disarmingly intuitive, powerfully honest and massively insightful, Heather Barrett is an innovative coach who is dedicated to placing her clients at the heart of everything she does.
With a track record of over twenty years of professional experience, first in corporate life for one of the worlds largest companies and now as an author, entrepreneur and business owner, Heather knows first hand what it takes to make it in the real world.
However, Heather has also faced heartbreaking life events which took her far away from the path she had originally planned. They forced her to work out who she really was, what she stood for, what made her feel alive, what she wanted to leave as a legacy in the world and who she cared about.
‘Who wants to be coached by someone who hasn’t gone through hard stuff and found the courage to come out the other side with deeper levels of determination, compassion and strength, or who isn’t prepared to be truthful and open about their whole story?’ HB
Heather has invested in gaining professional qualifications and a continuing commitment to cutting edge learning directly related to her clients needs, with world-class gurus in the fields of coaching, high performance psychology and neuroscience.
Add this to her life long natural talent for coaching, for saying what others are afraid to say and being a cheerleader extraordinaire, and it is no surprise clients say they receive a unique, powerful and totally customized coaching service tailored to their specific needs, which gets them fast and lasting results.
‘I recently learned that the ancient Greeks defined happiness as;
‘The joy you feel when striving towards your potential’
I love to work with people who resonate with this. People who are prepared to strive and stride towards their potential, knowing it will make them and those around them, all the happier and more fulfilled for it.’ HB
