In 2016, she became only the second Canadian, and first Canadian female, inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame.

Combining powerful storytelling with practical frameworks, Heather empowers audiences to embrace discomfort, find courage in adversity, and lead with authenticity.

Whether on stage, on the field, or on top of a mountain, Heather Moyse embodies the pursuit of excellence — proving that greatness begins the moment you stop letting “realistic” define your potential.
