Heather is the author of Shine Your Bright, Chief Financial Officer of Keyston Bros, and Co-Founder of Choose Goodness, Her success has grown rapidly. She grew up striving for the perfect life – a fairy tale romance and a successful career.  While working her way through the checklist of accomplishments, she found a disconnect.   The person she was at home was not the person she was at work, nor even the person she IS.  She was playing the role rather than participating in the life.  She has found excitement in bringing her full self to every aspect of her life.  Through her book, Shine Your Bright, she helps people find the peace and courage to do the same.     Favourite Quote: "Hitch your wagon to a star and follow your dreams"   shineyourbright.com sign up to get a free sample of the journal   heather@shineyourbright.com facebook.com/shineyourbright instagram.com/shineyourbright/   Exceeding Expectations links: www.Exce...

She is an expert in the currency of courtesy and delivered a TED talk on why it's important to make your clients (and staff) feel special and valued. She talks about how this can be done in a way that's so charming they will be made to feel like extended family and why good etiquette is valuable in business. She has a best-selling book on the topic and the Guinness World Record for largest English Cream Tea!
