After having the pleasure of hearing Dr. Backstrom speak for a professional association group, I immediately reached out to her requesting an engagement for my own company. She has an amazing ability to motivate and engage an audience with relevant, valuable and easy to understand content. I was captivated and inspired by Dr Backstrom.”

Dr. Heather Backstrom has the ability to craft a dialogue with her audience, rather than a monologue. Her strategic use of audience participation makes everyone feel like they’re part of the learning journey rather than passive spectators. Her content is research-based, informative, engaging, and relatable. As a coach, she knows how to elevate leaders, and she is able to incorporate this same inspiration through her public speaking.”

Vanessa Jahn, Director of Culture and Community

I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Heather Backstrom speak at a professional association meeting. She has an engaging and audience-centric style that includes participant involvement. Her experience as a professional coach, facilitator, author and adjunct faculty member with the University of Redlands is invaluable. I’d invite her to speak to my team anytime!”
