Stories behind the work
Every document starts with someone at a turning point.
The first line is often the hardest.
Many people arrive with a blank page and a feeling that they have nothing worth saying. Reading their notes usually proves otherwise. The work begins by taking that doubt seriously, and gently answering it with their own record.
A gap is still part of a life.
Redundancy, illness, caring for someone — these chapters deserve honest words, not hiding. Heather writes them plainly and without apology, because the reader on the other side is a person too.
Leadership, described without shouting.
Senior people are often told to sound bigger. Heather's instinct runs the other way: say what you did, show what changed, and let the facts carry the weight.
Your past still counts.
A career change is not starting again. It is carrying what you know into new rooms. The writing finds the thread that joins the two, so the move reads as intention, not accident.
A website that sounds like you.
A personal site or portfolio should feel like meeting you in writing. Heather shapes the words, structure and page order so visitors understand who you are within a minute.
Begin in writing
Tell Heather what you need.
You do not need the perfect terminology. Write what is happening and what you are working toward.
