“Thanks to Heidi's coaching, I'm a much more effective strategic leader. She also increased my confidence to help shape our strategic goals, objectives, and plans versus just the ability to lead the execution of them. I cannot over-emphasize the importance of this, because it is the entire coaching experience (and the personal work I do on my own) that greatly improves my worth to the team; in development and execution.”

“Heidi's coaching came at a perfect time, my organization was in turmoil, my team needed real cultural change and I was struggling to find my voice in the chaos. Through the coaching, I was able to address these challenges and make real and lasting change that will serve my organization and my team for many years to come. The coaching sessions were focused on current direction, vision and action plans that provided me with techniques to address complex issues and methods for communicating and facilitating real change.”

"Heidi is an excellent executive coach as well as a master of transformational thinking. Her techniques and approach are flexible and she is able to move with you at the initial slow pace and then as fast as you want to go as she helps you grow multi-dimensionally. I really appreciated her capacity intellectually to keep pushing me on some things and stay with me on other strategic things that were on my mind and do both simultaneously. We were able to explore new concepts and attempt further and more effective approaches to leadership over our three years together and it allowed my organization’s direct leadership as well as the high potentials to grow beyond anything I would have ever imagined!! It was empowering to see how the changes in me expanded my organizational capability to get things done as a servant leader."

"Heidi Funk’s work as an executive coach is a case study in effectiveness. Her work supports in all phases of the executive’s development. Under Heidi’s coaching the executive learns to understand the true requirements of his or her role. With this understanding of requirements, Heidi helps the executive discover the root concepts which will drive success. Her real strength shines as she then inspires the executive through highly interactive discussion to develop the requisite creative solutions. This skill cannot be overstated as she helped me look beyond my normal tool kit to see more innovative and effective solutions. My executive performance enhanced by Heidi’s work has contributed to real cost savings of at least 100M in the past three years. Clearly Heidi Funk as an executive coach is a high leverage contributor to our company’s success."

“I worked with Heidi in variety of coaching venues. She was my executive coach and helped me with navigating all the major changes our International organization was going through. She is a very effective coach and partner with her compassionate, intuitive, direct approach. The coaching with her helped me take my leadership skills and effectiveness to the next level of executive presence. As a result my direct supervisor started giving me more responsibility and preparing me for the Executive Ranks of leadership. Heidi was also the team coach for the International leadership team reporting to the Senior Vice President. She expertly facilitated an extremely diverse group of leaders to collaborate with each other and lead the rest of the organization through dynamic changes to achieve our international new business goals. Thanks to Heidi, all three of the teams she worked with improved their leadership, communication and collaboration skills so they could accomplish their business development goals as a more cohesive team.”
