Have you ever wondered why you aren’t achieving your goals? Are you frustrated because you feel you aren’t being heard? Do you feel stuck? Are your fears and inhibitions holding you back?

As a professional development coach, I want to empower you to:

  • Be your most authentic self.
  • Live in alignment with your core values.
  • Thrive in your strengths.
  • Find your voice.
  • Push beyond what is comfortable.

Let’s work together to get results!

My Philosophy:

I believe that delving deeper, going beyond the surface, helps us discover truths about ourselves: untapped strengths, old fears, and even new goals that we can use as building blocks for professional and personal success. And with each small success, comes the energy to work toward something greater.

I want to help you do that! I’ll use a candid yet caring approach to help you identify what’s holding you back, create a plan to move forward, and celebrate your achievements.

Meet Heidi

I am Heidi Tyson and am a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) who has earned her Associate Certified Coach credential. I am a leadership instructor/facilitator, and have been a Talent Management Officer, manager of high-powered teams for 14 years, and a former newspaper journalist.

I am a small-town, Midwestern girl who moved to the big city and took on all that it had to offer. I surrounded myself with amazing friends and passions, including traveling, wine tasting, and cooking. I continue to learn about myself daily through my relationships, service to others, challenges, and spirituality.

I have a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Journalism with a certification in Women’s Studies. In addition to being a Certified Professional Coach from iPEC, I am an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, certified in Gallup Strengths, and a Hogan assessment facilitator.

For the past 21 years, I have taken countless leadership and professional development classes, including Dale Carnegie Leadership Training, Disney Leadership Training, and American Management Association managerial training.

What Coaching Is:

As a coach, I work in partnership with you to empower you to realize your potential, reconnect with or discover core values, work through and re-strategize fears or past habits, and create smart action plans to achieve goals or address important issues.

Q

What Coaching Does Not Do

Provide Therapy: A licensed therapist works with a patient to fix past dysfunctions prohibiting them from succeeding in life, while sometimes addressing and managing mental illness.

Act as a Consultant: A consultant is an expert in a field and offers his or her agenda to fix a problem.

Serve as a Mentor: A mentor uses his or her personal and professional experiences to tell a client what to do to be successful.

Stand in for a Friend: Although loving and well-meaning, a friend sometimes offers personal advice and might be working from his or her own agenda, objectives, and judgment.

What Can I Offer You?

My direct and candid yet caring approach demonstrates to you how serious I am about helping you achieve your goals and move past issues. I believe that going “deeper” helps us discover new truths, strengths, fears, and potential to use as building blocks toward those goals. And when you achieve small personal successes, you quickly will want more success. I want to help you do that!

What People Are Saying

“Heidi Tyson’s coaching transformed my life. Her coaching provided me a platform to deepen my self-awareness, to facilitate learning, and to adopt new behaviors and practices. I worked closely with Heidi to create a series of action plans to address my personal and professional challenges, gaining confidence and exploring new ways to communicate. Our efforts renewed a sense of a purpose in my life, inspiring my personal endeavors and rejuvenating my career.”

“I have had several coaches but none compared to Heidi. The reason why my experience with Heidi was so different than the others can be described in just a few words ‘connection, realness, compatibility.’ Heidi and I were able to connect because the two of us ‘fit’ she was very down to earth and was able to have open dialogue. I felt like I was talking to a trusted friend.”

“Heidi is an amazing coach. I came to her to get myself back on track. I’ve always been very successful, but I lost confidence after having kids and trying to give 100 percent to all aspects of my life. My first meeting with her, she helped me create “buckets” of all the things I wanted help with. She worked with me to ensure anything I worked toward aligned with my values. She also told me to focus on taking care of and honoring time commitments to myself.

If I couldn’t be good to myself, I would fail in the other areas. She had real-world, actionable advice and tools for each area I needed help with. From phone apps, to ways to discover your value system, Heidi’s insight was always on point. I would recommend her to anyone needing to sort through life when it gets overwhelming … She has a versatile tool box that can help anyone gain clarity, make great change, and create next steps while having a supportive ear by your side.”

“Heidi provided me a unique way of looking at an issue I hadn’t considered. When I told her I am a visual person, she recommended using a calendar to track important milestones as I counted down to retirement. This simple yet effective tool has allowed me to reduce my anxiety and visually plan for important deadlines.”

“Heidi gives me an unemotional, proactive, and straight forward look and understanding what is happening within our team from a communication standpoint.  She works with and challenges me to continually be better in leading the team in a professional and cohesive manor.”

“What I find invaluable about Heidi’s coaching is her ability to see beyond the public veneer to the real person underneath, her persistence and willingness to dig into tough issues, and her candidness. Heidi is able to see beyond the surface and willing to push me out of my comfort zone (or give me a swift kick in the pants) when I need it. I always leave sessions with homework—challenging homework, at that—but feel as though I come back better for having done it.”
