Jason Miller
CEO, Marea Beachfront Villas

‘Prior to working with HEG, I was the one making all the decisions and my people, who are very bright and confident, were solely focused on just doing their jobs. Because of HEG, those people have started to go the extra mile by becoming more involved and are now real leaders within the company.’

She used tools and creativity to empower me to get to the root of whatever issues I brought to our sessions.She supported me to map out plans that guided me on the path to the clarity and results I was seeking.
