I’m Heather Thomson, I am a PCC-certified coach through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), an executive leadership coach, and a systemic team coach. I believe meaningful change begins with connection, curiosity, and the courage to lead authentically. What draws me to systemic team coaching is the opportunity to look at leadership through a wider lens—not just individual growth, but how relationships, dynamics, and the larger system shape how teams thrive. I’m passionate about helping teams build trust, communicate openly, and align around shared purpose so they can do their best work together.

My path into coaching grew out of nearly three decades in education, where I witnessed the profound impact that confident, supported leaders can have on people and culture. I stepped into coaching to help individuals and teams tap into untapped potential, strengthen their sense of self, and lead in a way that feels true to who they are. My coaching is grounded in my core values: connection, learning, and freedom-creating safety, sparking insight, and opening space for transformation.

I work with leaders and teams by listening deeply: to what’s said, what’s sensed, and what’s unspoken. My presence is warm, intuitive, and gently challenging. I bring curiosity, compassion, and a belief that people already have the wisdom they need-they just deserve a space to access it. I know what it’s like to navigate transitions, impostor feelings, and reinvention, and that lived experience allows me to support clients with empathy and clarity.

At my core, I’m here to help leaders and teams step into their brilliance, strengthen their confidence, and show up in their most authentic, courageous way. When people feel supported and empowered, everything else becomes possible.
