Heather Hansen
CEO, Advocate to Win
Heather Hansen gives you the tools to advocate for change, overcome doubts, build beliefs, and turn your adversaries into advocates. She combines her experience as a trial attorney with her psychology degree, dispute resolution training, and her TV experience to create tools anyone can use to advocate for their ideas, products, and services, and collect their wins. Then she added the subconscious tools of a hypnotist to ensure that the subconscious mind isn’t holding you back.
Heather has appeared on The Today Show, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and CBS. She’s worked with Harvard Business School, Stanford MedX, Google, LVMH, Sav A Tree, Bimbo Bakery, the American Medical Association, Stryker and many other organizations, teaching leaders how to advocate for change.
Heather is the author of the best-seller “The Elegant Warrior: How to Win Life’s Trials Without Losing Yourself” and the host of The Elegant Warrior podcast. Heather’s latest book is Advocate to Win-10 Tools to Ask for What You Want and Get It.
