In this episode of Minding Our Business, we sit down with Heather Shafter, a consultant, author, and speaker, to explore how positive change is possible—even in the face of adversaries. Heather's work focuses on empowering individuals to create meaningful change by leveraging both allies and adversaries.

Heather takes us through her journey, from her background in organizational development to her current mission of helping individuals and companies work more efficiently and effectively. She also delves into her passion for social justice, sharing insights from her book Life with Libby: Chasing Peace and Justice with Humor, Guts, and Passion.

In this conversation, we discuss how one person can make a difference in the world, why it’s important to have conversations with those who disagree with us, and the frameworks that guide this transformational work. Heather also shares a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to be a keynote speaker, the preparation that goes into it, and how she’s pivoted to make speaking her primary focus.

Don't miss this inspiring episode about the power of purpose, process, and progress—and how we can all play a part in creating positive change.
