Important Announcement! I'm Moving - check out my new webspace


I just wanted to get your attention and let you know that you can find my complete and updated resume, portfolio and teaching/consulting experience at my personal page over at heatherbuen.com. Any blog posts I have about career and workplace communication will be found over at my publication on Medium.com as a part of my 'Re-invention' process. You can find me over at The 'Re-Invention' Agent - speaking about change agent advocacy and life transition success.

Why Move?

When I first started all of this it was many moons ago and I began seriously blogging for money in 2010. I have built up an audience and through the bumps in the road, pregnancies, career changes and so on I have never stopped writing. Even when it became a chore, the voice never stopped and so I never stopped. I have evolved and some of that evolution was not very fun, but through it all and the grace of God I am here and I never stop evolving. I re-ivent and re-emerge and it's something I want to share with all of you. I admire the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world that challenge themselves and try something new. I guess I am in that boat. Stop by and read my thoughts over at Medium.com.
