Heather Monahan stands out as a dynamic force in the world of corporate and motivational speaking. She's been celebrated as one of the Top 50 Keynote Speakers in 2022 by Real Leaders, thanks to her impressive 20-year journey to the top of the corporate world. Heather's not just a business powerhouse; she's also a TEDx speaker and the host of the "Creating Confidence" podcast, where she chats with big names like Sara Blakely and Gary Vaynerchuck. She's also an author, with two best-sellers to her name: "Confidence Creator" and "Overcome Your Villains." Her TEDx talk, which has been translated into six languages, and her podcast, ranked among Apple's Top 200, showcase her wide-reaching impact.
