About
Heather Black
navigating change, together
Hi, I'm Heather. I've spent 20 years building businesses, and I've lived through most of the big stuff too — starting and closing companies, marriage and divorce, moving home, becoming a mum, losing both my parents. I know how disorientating change can feel when you're in the middle of it.
What got me through was a toolkit: NLP coaching and change management, plus good people around me. Now I share it with women standing at the start of their own new chapter — and I'd love to share it with you.

I'm an award winning entrepreneur, coach and mentor, known for getting things done. With over 36,000 followers on LinkedIn, I've run businesses for 20 years and navigated many of life's difficult challenges.
Behind every smile there might be sadness not joy. You never know what is going on for people behind the scenes.
We have all been there. The smile is just a front but behind the smile their body and mind is craving stability, safety, and clarity on what to do to change their situation, to actually be happy.
It can be hard to make this change if you don't know how to navigate it.
One thing I realised when I was growing up was how blessed I had been to discover NLP and Change Management tools. I trained in NLP Coaching at 26 and in Change Management at 34.
It gave me the resources to understand how to manage emotional challenges and situations and to make it out the other side.
I couldn't always use the tools to navigate it myself as I might have been too deep in the drama, so I have often used a coach to help me.
I have had to navigate many of the big changes in life myself, so I know what it's like.
I've started businesses and I've closed businesses, I've got married and divorced, I've moved location (quite a few times), I've had two children, I've lost both parents, I've dealt with changes and restrictions in diet, I've lost friends.
I can resonate and empathise, but I won't reflect my personal stories on your life. Instead I've got a toolkit that can help you reflect on yours and how to weather the change.
I've helped thousands of people start their next chapter over the last 20 years with business and career coaching services.
I'm the previous Founder of Striding Out, helping young professionals aged 18–30 navigate their careers and business ventures, and the current Founder of Supermums, helping women launch their careers in the tech sector.
I have plenty of experience in helping people make transitions and take a leap of faith.
The Book
coming soon
“I've been sitting on this book since 2013, when I trained in Change Management and was navigating so much change in my own life — a newborn, a new job and recently married. The tools I learnt helped me understand what was going on and how to get through it. That was my lightbulb moment: combining Change Management principles that are typically applied in the workplace with coaching, to help women navigate change. I'm excited to finally get it out into the world.”
