Heather Monahan is an outstanding business, leadership, and personal development voice. As a keynote speaker, author, and TED speaker, she has significantly impacted individuals and organizations. With her inspiring journey from climbing the corporate ladder to breaking the glass ceiling, Monahan has become a prominent influence in empowering women in the workplace and fostering self-confidence.
One of Heather’s most noteworthy speaking endeavors was her TED talk, The Me Too Movement: A Misstep or Mistake? In this presentation, she addresses a critical but often overlooked aspect of workplace dynamics: the negative impact that one woman can have on another woman’s career. While the Me Too movement has brought attention to harassment by men in the workplace, Monahan sheds light on the harmful role that female colleagues can play in hindering other women’s progress.
Heather’s commitment to empowering individuals extends beyond her speaking engagements. She also hosts the Creating Confidence podcast, which has earned its place among business podcasts. Her podcast shares insights, strategies, and success stories that help people develop the confidence to achieve their goals.
She also has penned two books, Overcome Your Villains and Confidence Creator. Both offer practical advice and inspiration for those seeking to overcome obstacles and build unshakable confidence. Confidence Creator has garnered widespread acclaim, reaching #1 on Amazon’s New Release chart and becoming a #1 Best Seller in Business Biographies and Motivation.
A Trailblazer in the Boardroom
Heather’s career trajectory is nothing short of impressive. Having spent nearly two decades in corporate America, she defied the odds and broke through the glass ceiling to secure a spot in the C-suite. She was also recently appointed to the Board of Directors of HealthLynked Corp – a recognition of her expertise and influence in the business world.
She has received numerous awards and accolades, including the Glass Ceiling Award, recognition as one of the Most Influential Women in Radio in 2017, being named a Limit Breaking Female Founder by Thrive Global in 2018, and earning the title of Thought Leader of the Year by Girls Club in 2021.
The ‘Boss in Heels’
Heather’s vision extends beyond her success. She owns Boss In Heels LLC, a global community and lifestyle brand dedicated to helping others gain confidence and live their best lives. The “Boss in Heels” concept represents modern leadership where women can be authentically themselves, celebrate their gender, and still command respect while achieving results in the workplace. It’s about fostering respect, empathy, and success among employees, partners, and clients.
Heather’s journey with Boss In Heels had its challenges. When her former employer demanded she shut it down, she chose to stand up for herself and others, leading to her termination. This pivotal moment catalyzed her writing and self-publishing of her first book, Confidence Creator.
Her influence extends beyond her books and speaking engagements. She offers various services, including online one-on-one coaching, a Sales and Confidence Masterclass, the Elite Mastermind, and a Confidence Creator course. These platforms provide individuals with the tools and guidance to build confidence, excel in their careers, and overcome obstacles.
