Unlocking the Potential of Your Organization [podcast]
An Insightful conversation about people-first leadership
Our CEO, Heather Haas, shares her inspiring journey from sixth-grade teacher to leading ADVISA – our consultancy focused on leadership and culture development.
Strategy > Training > Transformation
Heather’s insights on the distinction between training and transformation, the importance of intentional decisions, and the impact of understanding the learning process offer a powerful guide for shaping the culture you want in your organization.
Reshape your work culture into a sustainably loved workplace.
As champions of people-first leadership, we see firsthand how this approach is reshaping workplaces.
Heather explores how technology is influencing the future of work and why it’s essential to equip people and businesses to foster genuine connections.
She also shares real-world examples of how investing in leadership and culture development translates into tangible outcomes like employee retention, productivity, engagement, and customer loyalty.
At ADVISA, we believe in the power of diverse perspectives, setting healthy boundaries, and embracing stillness to strengthen workplace relationships and drive business success. As Heather’s mother wisely advised, surrounding yourself with people you can learn from and taking time to pause and reflect are key ingredients for growth. We hope this conversation inspires you to prioritize people-first leadership and cultivate a transformative culture.
Two key ingredients for growth:
1. Surround yourself with people you can learn from.
2. Take time to pause and reflect.
Want an intentional culture to fuel your organization’s success?
Heather describe’s ADVISA’s strategic, three-phased process for that:
Diagnose what is (and isn’t) working on the leadership side of the business, starting with data. Then, leveraging that data, lead the executive team through an exercise to define a) where they want the business to be, and b) the 3-5 leader capabilities that will activate that intentional culture.
Design a customized learning experience for leaders of all levels that will give them exactly what they need to activate that desired culture.
Deploy our team of expert facilitators and coaches to put it all in motion.
Heather and Kyle talk through that process – including the value of having an objective outsider to steer it.
Heather’s desire to fuel others’ success is at the heart of everything we do at ADVISA.
Under her leadership, our team of talented, compassionate professionals is committed to helping clients build effective teams, leaders, and cultures.
Outside of work, Heather finds joy in outdoor adventures, the mountains, and curling up with a good book. Her faith and family remain her greatest sources of strength and happiness.
