Emma Mashilwane – CEO, MASA Auditors
Heidi has been assisting MASA Auditors with training of our staff from first year trainees to experienced professionals. Her deep experience in the auditing profession and leadership arena has been invaluable in preparing our staff to navigate their professional and personal lives.
Nevellan Moodley, Partner – Financial Services, BDO South Africa
Heidi has hosted great leadership courses as well as team inductions for us. Her personality is contagious and our team who are in some instances up to 20 years into their careers still reference her events as key milestones in their careers. I will absolutely recommend her for any organisation looking at improving their culture or leaving their people with a lifelong experience.
Terri Weston – Director, BDO Financial Services
Working with someone who truly understands the stresses and challenges of a professional services environment makes Heidi’s support so much more valuable. She really is part of our team, she is involved with us, both on a personal and business level and therefore is a massive support to senior management to keep our people happy and help them perform to the best of their abilities.
Tanja Ferreira – Chief Operations Director, Supply Chain Partner
Heidi has facilitated several courses for our team members at different experience levels, including communication skills and presentation skills. She is flexible and adaptable and understands the requirements of a global consulting business. Heidi engages her audience and keeps them focused throughout her training sessions and her positive energy and attitude is contagious. We can’t wait to welcome her back!

Heidi's unique style coupled with strong theoretical and practical knowledge always leads to a highly engaging and productive training workshop. In our case, we ran two sales training workshops this past year which were highly regarded, with numerous staff talking about the practical takeaways they learned!
Graeme Huddy - Director, Mobius Binary
A session with Heidi always leaves me rejuvenated, focussed and equipped to tackle the challenge or roadblock that I’ve encountered in my work or personal life. I especially enjoy the fact that Heidi has worked in a similar environment meaning she understands the nature of the challenges being faced and it is easy for me to relate to and reflect on her input and coaching.

Heidi’s deep knowledge and experience sets her apart from other facilitators. Her energy, passion and intent to get the best out of every participant in her courses is what helps each person grow, and also stay focussed! Her past modules on “Reaching out to Leaders” in our group was very well received. One entity requested her personal coaching services as well.

Dealing with emotions in a work environment can be challenging, but attending a session with Heidi Volschenk opened a platform where employees felt confident to open up. This was achieved by creating and maintaining an atmosphere of trust through sharing her personal battles and experiences and how she has overcome them. Her collaborative teaching approach as well as her sixth sense to manage time and people makes her an exceptional facilitator.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Heidi again. She brought an incredible positive energy to our group, while still engaging and ensuring learning took place. This is a rare talent where someone can enable learning without people realising they are growing and developing. I look forward to working with Heid again very soon!

Heidi is one of the most insightful and articulate presenters I’ve ever had the privilege of listening to. Her ability to read, react and respond to people and their emotions is something truly magical and is guaranteed to leave audiences more enlightened, more aware and more of a whole person than they were prior to entering the room. Highly recommended!

Heidi is truly one of my favourite public speakers and facilitators. She has the ability to make her audience feel at ease by being able to connect with her participants on a deep and meaningful level. She is able to accomplish this through her descriptive storytelling and sharing of her personal and professional experiences. Her Chartered Accountant background paired with her immense knowledge and understanding of Adult Learning and Development makes her not only a very credible speaker, but extremely relatable to a vast array of individuals. Heidi brings an element of humour and fun into all the presentations that she delivers and keeps her audience captivated throughout!

You can clearly see when Heidi is facilitating that she loves what she does. She really has fun when she is talking in front of others and it’s infectious to the audience. Heidi has the most amazing ability to embed messages in a presentation through storytelling. She is an incredible storyteller and takes the audience on a journey throughout her presentations.

I have had the honour of watching Heidi present at a training course we hosted. She was phenomenal. It is like second nature to her – the audience remained captivated and was thoroughly entertained by her. Heidi knows how to bring a message across to a diverse group of people and has mastered the art of storytelling that allows people thinking further that the present.
