Architecting Influence Leadership Development Workshops

"Architecting Influence helped me find my voice, own my story, and realize that branding isn’t bragging—it’s being boldly, authentically you. This program was a game-changer."

"I literally can't say enough great things about this course. Heather not only helped me get over some key hurdles in building my professional foundation, she led me to see the foundational blocks I was putting in my own way. I've always said that clarity is power and that a problem well-defined is half solved. The values, purpose and vision exercises, if you REALLY invest the time and emotion to dig deep and do them right, are worth the price all by themselves."

“I came out of this course empowered with a plan, allowing me to have direction and structure I had previously been seeking. I highly recommend this course regardless of what level you are at in your career. This was the course I didn’t know I needed, but can’t imagine not taking.”

Kurtis Minder
"Architecting Influence helped me connect the dots between my personal mission and the work I do every day. The course created space to reflect on what really drives me—and how to show up in a way that aligns with that purpose. One of the best parts was getting to connect with other cybersecurity professionals who are thinking just as intentionally about their impact and visibility. It’s a rare opportunity to step back, recalibrate, and move forward with clarity."

"I recently completed the 'Cybersecurity Pros' program, and it exceeded my expectations. Heather's instruction was top-notch, bringing structure and process to areas outside our typical comfort zone. This makes the process accessible and actionable. Beyond the curriculum, the added magic was in the cohort. It was incredibly enriching to go through the program with a group of experienced cybersecurity professionals, all bringing unique perspectives and a willingness to share. This shared journey made the learning much deeper and more impactful. If you want to turn your technical skills into real industry influence and connect with impressive peers, this is the course for you."

"The best way to improve is to learn from those that have walked that path. This series of workshops helped me realize my mental obstacles, my inner powers, and my ability to use them to overcome any struggle (especially in this job market).
