Executive Director, NonProfit, Leadership Development and Group Coaching "You're the most real facilitator I've ever met. You speak the truth bluntly, yet in a way we can hear it, and it's very helpful. Noone has ever done that before. It is very freeing, and helps us tackle the reality in which we have to operate as leaders."
Executive, Public Service "You gave us a roadmap. There is still work to do, but we have made significant progress in operating as a cohesive team, shaping an even stronger culture for all staff. Work is more enjoyable now too."
Senior Leader in an Engineering Organization, Leadership Development "Sheila is truly skilled at bringing out the best in people and tapping into what makes them passionate about their jobs not only because she is an expert in her field, she authentically cares about the people she works with. I met Sheila in 2018 when she held a Leadership Retreat for our Division Managers and Assistant Director. She was very thorough in meeting with us and assessing our leadership styles prior to the retreat so that she was able to customize and adapt our training. She has an ability to facilitate open and honest discussion with the team in a positive yet very direct manner so that we can acknowledge problems which detracted from our ability to plan strategically as a cohesive team. I continued to have personal training sessions with Sheila and also attend a Resiliency Workshop. She has helped me to increase my emotional intelligence and focus on improving my leadership skills as well as taking care of myself to maintain my mental and physical resilience. This training and coaching has been timely and invaluable in these disruptive times as we all must adapt to new challenges."

Elevate23 Non-Profit Leadership Alliance "This session was very helpful for me to learn how to navigate stress release. I loved the idea of a time swap, I will likely implement this into my daily practice. How can I swap something that is stressful and incorporate something pleasant. For me personally, it will be swap social media for reading time or working out." Non-Profit Leader
"This session provided much insight on ways that we can handle stress and ideas to achieve more! The breakdown on the 6 areas of resilience. I will be using this to select one action item to do. I have several that came to mind, increase exercise habit, eating healthier, engage in the community, and prioritize my tasks! I plan on tackle one of these every few weeks and reevaluate my wellbeing. It is amazing to think making small changes in our personal life will bring positive moves/action in our professional life as well!" Non-Profit Leader
"The tips I didn't even know I needed! We've been in a VERY high-stress season at work, and with 2 toddlers at home, I've been feeling the tension both physically and mentally. 2 changes I've put into effect this week: walking for 20 minutes outside during my lunch break, and journaling 3x a week before bed instead of doom-scrolling on my phone. Being intentional about prioritizing these "time-swaps" has already been beneficial. Thank you for these amazing insights!" Non-Profit Leader
South by Southwest Workshop "Hi Sheila, I loved the resilience workshop. It's exactly why I come to SXSW - meaningful conversation with a diverse group of people on how to live well. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed just listening and talking in that group. It's a bit of a missing piece in my life as software development can be quite isolating.
Thanks again!" Mark, JD, Software Developer, US
"I had the pleasure to be in your workshop at SXSW. Thanks again for the inspiring experience. Is there any chance I can get the slide deck?" Michael, Head of Marketing and Product Development, Austria
