Dr. Heather Wheeler

Bridge the Gaps. Build the Culture. Drive the Results.

For over two decades, I've worked at the intersection where mental health meets peak performance. With Olympians, leaders, founders and CEOs. In Canadian healthcare and National Sport Organizations.

Together, we Bridge the Gap between driving results and protecting wellbeing.

We build systems where both thrive.

THE INTERNAL GAP

For Individuals Who Refuse to Choose Between Excellence and Wellbeing

High performers often struggle with the Gap between who they are and who they feel they need to be. There's an internal disconnect between striving for perfection and the flow you're seeking, between focusing on achievement and your broader sense of purpose, between pushing through and feeling your feelings.
‍
Striving and Being can co-exist. But if you don’t learn how to prioritize both, anxiety, burnout, disconnection, and illness steal your edge. And you risk losing everything you're working towards.

Working together, we'll find ways to integrate sustainable mental health practices with the performance demands you face. So you can show up fully in your life and your work.

THE COLLECTIVE GAP

For Teams Ready to Turn Potential Into Performance

Even talented individuals struggle when team dynamics are broken. The Gap between individual excellence and collective performance shows up in how you communicate, handle conflict, give feedback, and support each other under pressure.
‍
High-performance teams need more than skill or talent. They need trust, clear communication across generations and roles, and the ability to stay connected when stakes are high. When the degree of challenge and support are out of balance, people disengage or leave, communication breaks down, and potential goes unrealized.
‍
Together, we strengthen relationships, sharpen communication, and build the daily practices and workflows that turn good teams into unstoppable ones.

THE ORGANIZATIONAL GAP

For Leaders Who Want Results AND a Healthy Workplace

Leaders today face a strategic challenge.

How do you design systems, policies, and structures that bridge the gap between the need to take care of your team’s mental health and keep driving results?

Most organizations bolt culture, DEI, and wellness programs onto existing structures and wonder why nothing changes.

Issues with performance, retention, and succession planning all depend on Bridging the Mental Health-Performance Gaps. Between stated values and operational reality. Vision and effective workflows. Knowledge and skill translation. Individual potential and management's ability to unlock it.

Real culture change requires redesigning how you lead. Transforming the way you communicate, run meetings, hiring practices, performance management, resource allocation, decision-making structures, and what you actually reward.

The best leaders leverage individual strengths to elevate the team AND leverage the team to elevate individual performance.

It requires strategy, not just good intentions.

Together, we transform systems and build strategies where both people and performance flourish. Not as competing priorities, but as mutually reinforcing elements for success.
