Heidi Hackney MS, PCC, BCC, The Can Do Coach
In many ways, I’ve been coaching my entire life. A high school friend once called me out of the blue and asked if I had ever considered coaching. I laughed because I was in coaching training at the time and asked why she wanted to know. She said I had coached her when we were 17 and that I was right. She called to encourage me to use this gift to help others. I saw that exchange as confirmation that I was on the right path.
After years as a clinical monitor, corporate trainer, and manager, I became a stay-at-home mom to our adopted Chinese daughter, Rebecca, who has ADHD. Motherhood brought about profound emotional and spiritual healing. I focused on building a strong foundation for my family and developing a healthier, more balanced life.
I’m happily remarried to my autistic husband and raising a wonderful child. I’m thriving in both my personal and professional life and contributing to my church and community through volunteering and staying optimistic.
I am the co-founder of Autistic Voiceover Artists (AVA), a non-profit dedicated to training and supporting autistic voiceover artists. My education, experience, and God-given talents enable me to understand people and situations quickly. My journey has given me empathy and a deep understanding that goes beyond the intellectual level.
I’ve overcome challenges with an enduring positive outlook — and if I can do it, so can you!
