You want to lead well.
But right now, leadership feels harder than it should.
Maybe you’re…
Stepping into a new leadership role and want to lead with confidence.
Leading a team that’s stuck, disconnected, or plateaued — and need to rebuild trust and momentum.
Navigating organizational change and want your leadership to feel clear, intentional, and authentic.
Wherever you are, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Build the confidence, skills, and connection to lead with impact.
RETREATS & WORKSHOPS
Over time, even high-performing teams can lose focus, energy, and alignment around their goals. Retreats and workshops create the space to reengage and reenergize, align around shared priorities, and strengthen trust. Through team-building retreats and leadership offsites, teams leave with renewed focus, stronger relationships, and a clear path forward.
TEAM COACHING & CULTURE DEVELOPMENT
Building or rebuilding a strong team culture takes time, focus, and shared commitment. Consistent application of practical tools, along with ongoing reflection and recalibration, strengthens trust and improves communication so you can execute on what matters most with your team moving forward together.
LEADERSHIP COACHING
The most impactful leaders know you have to lead yourself first. That means growing your self-awareness and emotional intelligence, recognizing how you might be holding yourself and others back, and leading with authenticity. Coaching helps you replace unhelpful patterns with strengths-based strategies to lead with clarity and confidence.
Meet Heather Taylor Griffith
I know the weight of leadership and the pressure to deliver results while keeping people engaged and connected.
As a former executive leader, I’ve led high-performing, connected teams, and I’ve also navigated seasons where trust needed rebuilding, alignment was off, and connection had to be renewed.
Now, I work as a consultant, facilitator, and certified coach helping leaders and teams develop authentic leadership, strengthen connection, and lead from who they are, not just what they do.
With the perspective of a clinical social worker and the experience of an executive, I bring depth of insight, genuine empathy, and practical strategies you can apply right away.
Through my Safety & Stretch Leadership® approach — balancing psychological safety with the challenges that spark growth — I help leaders and teams create space for reflection, connection, and the application of actionable tools that build stronger relationships and drive the results that matter most.
I’ve partnered with leaders and teams across industries to strengthen connection, rebuild alignment, and grow their impact through leadership development, team retreats and workshops, and culture building.
Clients include: for-profit companies • nonprofit organizations • higher education institutions • behavioral healthcare providers • local and state government agencies • professional services organizations

The Missing Piece
The problem isn’t always the strategy. It’s the alignment around it.
You can have the best plan, but if your team isn’t connected, communicating, and committed, it won’t gain traction.
When leaders invest in connection, they create alignment, trust, and results that last.
Imagine a team truly moving in the same direction and staying focused on what matters most, making progress together.
What would it look like if you could lead with clarity and confidence, watching your strategy come to life?
