Heroes in our Midst is a project created by Dr. Adrienne Leslie-Toogood, a renowned Sports Psychologist who has worked with countless Olympic athletes and teams, along with Donna Harris and Olympian Michelle Sawatzky. Through their podcast, they feature stories that tell about the power inside the heart, the human behind the story, and the collection of idiosyncrasies that both make us unique and bond us together through a common humanity. In addition to the podcast, Heroes in Our Midst also offer services to help corporations and individuals achieve their potential through workshops, collaboration and training. Heroes walk among us; they are in our midst everyday.
