There is possibility in the space between where we are and where we want to go.

Hi, I’m Heather.

I’m the founder of Threshold Consulting, a leadership and organizational development practice built right here in the Yukon Territory.

I was born and raised in Whitehorse, on the Traditional Territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. I’m grateful to have grown up, built my career and now raise my own family on these lands, and I recognize the responsibility that comes with living, working and building a business here. Living and working in the North has shaped how I see leadership and organizations. Here, relationships matter. Reputation matters. Community matters. The decisions we make inside our organizations have a very real impact on the people we work alongside, the families we know and the communities we share.

That has made the work deeply personal for me.

For more than a decade, I’ve worked in human resources, organizational development, leadership development and change, partnering with leaders and teams through growth, complexity, uncertainty and transition. Along the way, I’ve become increasingly curious about what makes some leaders and organizations able to navigate those moments exceptionally well. That curiosity has shaped much of my professional journey and continues to shape Threshold today.

I believe deeply in the potential of people. I’m fascinated by leadership, character, organizational culture and the human dynamics that sit beneath how organizations function. I love taking research and theory and turning it into conversations, experiences and practical tools that people can actually use.

I also believe that good consulting begins with humility. It means listening before prescribing. Asking thoughtful questions. Understanding context. Recognizing that the people closest to an organization often hold tremendous wisdom about what it needs and helping create the conditions for that insight to emerge. Threshold gives me the opportunity to bring together the work I care most about; leadership, people and meaningful change, while continuing to invest in the place and communities that have invested so much in me.

When I’m not doing this work, I’m usually somewhere in the beautiful chaos of raising two teenagers, spending time on the land with my family and dogs, travelling when we can, or enjoying the place I’m fortunate to call home. I also nurture my creative life and have found a love of painting with watercolours, a practice that gives me space to slow down, notice what I might otherwise miss. That same creativity often finds its way into my work, particularly in how I design learning experiences, facilitate conversations and help people see challenges in new ways.

I created Threshold because I believe there is enormous possibility in people and organizations, particularly at the moments when they are ready to grow, change or imagine something different.

I’d be honoured to help you explore what comes next,

Heather Fearon
