power & wisdom to lead

MEET Heather

Accomplished speaker, author, consultant and entrepreneur – with deep expertise in navigating leadership dysfunction and incompetence to drive behavioural change and organizational growth.

Heather Hilliard is a rare talent, blending business wisdom, behavioural brilliance and a unique ability to speak the truth in order to drive change in the most complex organizational and leadership situations. More than a facilitator or coach, Heather is recognized as a strategic thinker who can step in to ‘lead the leaders’ when necessary to bring about change more quickly.  

A popular keynote speaker, she shares her unconventional approach to mastering behavioural change by teaching audiences how to lay the right foundation to achieve their potential regardless of the challenges they face.

Known for her pragmatic and realistic solutions that foster rapid change and tangible results, Heather’s focus has always been on understanding the behavioural dynamics at work in order to eliminate dysfunction, chaos, apathy and more to help clients achieve higher levels of performance and realize their full potential at the personal, team, leadership and organizational level. 

Heather’s Story

Adopted at birth, Heather reunited with her biological mother, Anne, when she was 27. Three years later, they started their highly successful consulting business, Caliber Leadership Systems, which was ranked as a fastest growing business in Canada two years in a row on Profit100.

With a shared quest to understand why people behave the way they do, together they created a neuro-psychological approach to achieving potential – Striving Styles® Personality System; co-authored a book – Who Are You Meant to Be?; had their work featured in Oprah magazine, and have given hundreds of leaders and entrepreneurs the power and wisdom to achieve their potential.

With an upfront and personal understanding of nature vs. nurture, Heather has always believed in the human capacity for growth and development. She is a self-proclaimed SUPERMAGNET for all things dysfunctional, so she uses her personal and professional experiences as her own “petri dish”. As a result, she has raw, honest and inspiring real stories that she shares openly with audiences from working with executive and entrepreneurial clients, navigating a failed marriage, raising two amazing children with learning disabilities and, bridging relationships across a complex (and large!) family base of adoptive, biological, half-siblings, step-siblings, step-children and in-law relationships.
