Heike Heemann, MIM, CPBC, DTM
Founder and President of
IdeaShare Coaching (Previously IdeaShare Business Coaching)

A multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary entrepreneur, Heike's credentials include 25+ years of experience in sales, marketing and brand management in both the US and global marketplaces.  

Born and raised in Germany, Heike (pronounced Hi-ka) grew up in an entrepreneurial household. She started helping her parents in their B&B and restaurant in her teens and has worked in several industries since.  Heike also worked as a civilian employee for the Armed Forces Recreation Center for several years.

She received her undergraduate degree in Spanish at Hood College in Frederick, MD, and her Masters in International Management (MIM/MBA) with a focus on Marketing at the Thunderbird School of International Business in Glendale, AZ, formerly known as the American Graduate School of International Management. (The school recently became part of Arizona State University /ASU but will retain its own brand for the foreseeable future.)

Heike started her career as an outside sales agent for a major freight forwarding company, learning to negotiate diverse corporate cultures and the challenges of selling intangible services. 

She then worked as International Market Development Manager in the DIY industry, opening new markets in South America, before turning to health care where she spent almost 16 years. Heike worked for several manufacturers and distributors of medical devices, including Patterson Medical, in the Midwest.

She successfully assumed roles as Product Manager with national and international responsibilities, as well as Global Marketing Manager. 

After 11 years in the corporate world and several company mergers, Heike joined a small medical device manufacturer in search of dynamic growth in the domestic and global markets.

During her tenure, Heike successfully directed the sales & marketing initiatives of this specialty medical device company.  As its General Manager and Director of Sales, she contributed to double digit bottom-line increases--even during the "Great Recession" of 2008--2010, while comparable businesses closed their doors or struggled to survive.

As a natural progression of her professional aspirations, Heike was certified as a business coach through the Professional Business Coaches Alliance (PBCA) in March of 2013. Today, Heike brings a considerable portfolio of skills to bear on behalf of clients looking for a new job or an entirely new career.

She works with business owners, executives and emerging leaders on improving their personal brand on LinkedIn in order to achieve individual goals like connecting with potential clients, finding a new position or other professional endeavors.

In addition, she is a public speaker available for in person and online events.

Her philosophy is aligned with the following quote: "A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided."  Tony Robbins

Testimonial for Business Coaching:
"I was coached by Heike over a period of about a year. We had great sessions together and she really helped me clarify some thinking about my business.
What I liked the most was her unrelenting encouragement to get me to think beyond 6 months or a year. In the last two sessions with her she helped me get my thinking about where I'll be in 3 years. It was great! I was able to articulate my thoughts, she captured them and sent them back to me in a very usable way.
I took what she had captured and passed those out to my team. In turn, each team member is creating their own set of goals based on my goals for the firm. Eventually, the entire team will know most of the goals of each other. I'm looking forward to an alignment of all our goals!"
