Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic

Heather Monahan was at the top of her career when she was blindsided and fired after 14 years as Chief Revenue Officer. Instead of letting it define her, she walked away with her head held high and rebuilt her life on her own terms. Heather turned her setback into a springboard for success, becoming a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and confidence expert.
