Who is Heather?
I'm Heather Mylan-Mains, and I help leaders and organizations unlock the transformative power of forgiveness. Through my book, speaking engagements, and workshops, I guide people toward healing, growth, and authentic leadership.
“Real growth begins with forgiveness. I’m a speaker, author, and workshop facilitator, helping individuals and teams break free from what holds them back and step into their full potential.”
Heather Mylan-Mains is a catalyst for meaningful change, rooted in the heart of Des Moines, Iowa. With a background in accounting and an MBA from Drake University, Heather’s journey began over 20 years ago when she discovered her passion for business analysis and team collaboration. As a long-time leader, consultant, instructor, and advocate for the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), she has guided countless teams to unlock business potential and drive transformational outcomes. Heather’s enthusiasm for analysis is contagious—she brings energy and a puzzle-solving spirit to every project, embracing complexity and inspiring others to see opportunities where others see barriers.
Heather’s approach is rooted in empathy, resilience, and the commitment to serve others. She uses her experiences with grief and forgiveness as tools to connect with people and encourage them to do the same. Her philosophy centers on sharing goodness through connection, laughter, and acts of kindness; choosing to be understanding rather than reactive, and spreading hope wherever possible. Forgiveness, for Heather, means accepting the pain and transforming it into an opportunity for growth—not only for herself but for everyone she encounters on her journey.
