​Heather Barta
Heather Barta is passionate about how coaching can transform an individual or group as they make goals to move into the future.  When she first experienced a coach training, she intuitively imagined a church where every leader has a coach.  She can imagine the confidence and support that leaders can have with the support of a coach.  Church leadership is hard, overwhelming, and sometimes heartbreaking.  A coach deeply listens to a leader while encouraging them to follow their heart and their gut.  Regular coaching invites accountability and the ability to be flexible, to try faster and fail, and to then try yet another idea.  She has her ACC accredition (first level) from the International Coaching Federation.  In her free time, Heather spends her reading or knitting while watching movies and TV.
