It was wonderful! We are so grateful for the expertise Heather brought to our work. I honestly believe she was the right person at the right time for the right group. We accomplished far more than I thought we would in such a brief time and learned more about each other in the process.

Thank you so much, Heather, for your great guidance and for responding so well to our needs. You showed us how to "be the work"!

Board Chair, Altadena Library Foundation
Without question it was all the preparation and time Heather spent with us in working through the strategic planning process in a very organized way. Her tools, encouragement and facilitation led us to a Strategic Plan that spans the next few years.

She was adept at dealing with competing interests and personalities and moving the process forward and bringing us to consensus. Given the difficulties that were already brewing, Heather was truly amazing. She gave me personally a lot of support which was very much appreciated and contributed to my success as the CEO.

You were one of several consultants I spoke with about how to improve the organization, board development, and meet fundraising goals in order to ensure we can continue to help the people most impacted in the Los Angeles housing market.

More than anyone else, you provided clear action items, broken down by category and next steps, that we can take to become a stronger, more dynamic organization. We truly appreciate the forthright assessment and action plan.

Thanks again for the great work!

To say a simple thank you for our coaching sessions seems so meager for what you have helped me accomplish.

I came to you needing help to develop the board into a partnership with the staff. I had no idea where to start. You asked good questions, helped me structure this project, and guided me to a successful beginning. Your grasp of our situation, together with your knowledge and experience, helped me position these challenges within the scope of management issues and broke these challenges down into manageable steps.

I could not have done this successfully without your guidance. Thank you more than I can say!

You rock! I think you might be the best coach on the planet.

Heather Tunis has superpowers, and uses them to help people and organizations be the best they can be. I brought her in to help prepare for a capital campaign and she quickly became an essential strategic partner.

Heather doesn’t just solve the problem in front of you—she helps you see the bigger picture, ask the right questions, build sustainable solutions. Her insights helped us improve financial systems and strengthen our organizational foundation. She’s smart, compassionate, detail-savvy, and one of the best listeners and coaches I’ve worked with. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I recently mentioned to a colleague that I am still implementing some of the strategies we came up with during my coaching work with you; she suggested I follow up to let you know the lasting impact of our work together.
