Tara Heaton 
Founder - En Pointe Communication 
Tara Heaton is the founder of En Pointe Communication. She created this consulting business by applying her years of neuroscience research to her years of leadership, sales and presentation experience. Her clients are purpose-driven leaders, speakers and salespeople who are looking to improve their ability to influence teams, audiences and prospects. Interestingly and quite tragically, Tara’s daughter was struck with a rare virus in 2005. What ensued was a lifetime of seizures that have caused gradual and significant brain damage. This catapulted Tara into a lifelong, mono-maniacal study of the brain as it relates to memory, human behavior, habit and function. These years of study, paralleled with Tara’s devotion to the art and sport of communication, inspired her Talk To The Brain platform. With an eBook, speeches, workshops and coaching, Tara teaches strategies and techniques based on the neuroeconomics of what delights and influences the minds of audiences in today’s noisy world.
