About Heather Lofkin Wright

I believe in people and their ability to positively contribute when the environments in which they operate are effective and equitable. In my work, this shows up as employee engagement in meaningful, fulfilling experiences that better oneself, community, and employer. I am passionate about inspiring individuals to live their best life and maximize the personal value and social impact of the time and money they contribute to the community through charitable donations, volunteerism and board director service. I achieve results by leveraging my five top strengths*: As a Futurist I have a vision for improved future states; as a Strategist I can develop the path to get there; my Relater and Woo enable me to create alignment with a wide range of other people\'s needs in mind, as well as to inspire others to want to be a part of my vision; and the Achiever in me won\'t rest until the work is done.*from Now, Discover Your Strengths by Donald O. Clifton and Marcus Buckingham
