  • Heather worked with us to create a custom Competency Model that is specific, clear, and actionable. She collected inputs from staff from across the organization, conducted focus groups, and researched best in class organizations, resulting in specific behaviors connected to competencies for each position level.

  • I brought Heather and Skill Masters Market into the YMCA Retirement Fund for 2 projects – a virtual instructor led course and an eLearning.
