Plenary Speaker: Heather Heyerdahl
Heather is the Director of Learning and Organizational Development at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is also a Globetrotter, wanderluster, wannabe digital nomad. Heather has created an intention of inviting disruption into her life to go against the grain and discover what's possible. She's an explorer, an adventurer, a calculated risk-taker, and most importantly a learner. Heather has always been passionate about discovering new things, and helping others do the same.
Over the course of her life and 20+ years in the "professional workforce", Heather has learned new languages, immersed herself in new cultures (4 states, 8 workplaces, and nearly 40 countries), mastered the art of solo travel, and bolstered her less-than-perfect running skills to complete a triathlon. She has taught children to swim; families to believe survivors of sexual assault; volunteers to support cancer patients; employees to master skills in accounting, software, real estate, customer service, sales, and coaching (to name a few), and organizations to embrace continuous improvement and innovation. She is a firm believer in Tolkein's words, "Not all those who wander are lost", and is always looking forward to what lies around the next corner.
