This episode is brought to you by Mindful Productivity, teaching busy professionals how to be happier, healthier, and more productive.

Heidi Dening is the author of best-selling self-leadership book called ‘Her Middle Name Is Courage.’ Over the last 22 years she started, scaled and sold an award-winning health and education business; founded an international not-for-profit with hundreds of volunteers across three countries; and delivered empowering presentations and programs to business leaders at Accenture, Westpac, and Metcash, on topics such as resilience, self-leadership and wellness.

She has been named ‘Best International Keynote Speaker’ in the Asia Pacific region at the Influential Businesswoman Awards 2020 and listed on the NSW Government’s Inspirational Women showcase in the entrepreneurial and empowerment category.

Since transforming her own setbacks such as a paralysing illness where she lost the use of her legs, to gunpoint kidnappings, from tsunami terror, and narrowly escaping being burnt alive when petrol bombs were thrown at her room, she now empowers organisations and their people to find the courage to keep moving forward during tough times.

Heidi has some amazing stories and insights that you can apply to your life. She’s a genuine, lovely woman and I’m sure that comes across in our chat. Enjoy!
