Lori Heffelfinger

Principal, CEO, & executive coach—AKA the right brain & organizational-development pro

Lori’s been a leadership and organizational development leader for over two decades. And helps individuals, teams, and entire organizations solve for problems that impact productivity, relationships, and the bottom line.

With nearly a dozen licenses and certifications, she’s that rare combination of EQ and IQ…a deep, curious listener…who listens for what’s said—and what’s left unsaid.
