I’ve had the benefit of Shana’s coaching both on a 1:1 basis, and in group sessions as part of her work with Chief. She holds space for insights to emerge organically, and when we find ourselves stuck, she provides tools and frameworks to help guide us to productive outcomes. Shana instills in me a sense that no matter what, she is ‘in my corner’, and when I feel uncertain, I look at myself through her eyes and know that I am unstoppable. She is the consummate professional, unfailingly supportive and unafraid of hard conversations. Working with her has been a gift, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to navigate growing professionally or personally!

We engaged Shana for a year to help our team identify essential growth areas so we could rapidly expand our business. The three most impactful takeaways included: understanding how important leadership impacts our company culture, strategies for long-term planning and how to manage complex interactions with our team and clients. After this engagement, we feel deeply confident regarding how to manage and operate our business.

I never saw myself using an executive coach, but Shana’s insightful guidance helped me realize my full potential as a new member of the senior executive team.

As the first and only woman on our executive team, I felt enormous pressure to succeed. Working with Shana increased my confidence, gave me practical skills for dealing with my new colleagues, and brought me insights into my leadership style. I can honestly say today that with her help, I now not only bring value to the table every time, but also do so while being true to my authentic self.

Shana was instrumental in working with me through an unexpected curve in my career path. The result was me crafting my ideal growth opportunity with the company, building the case, advocating for it and now living it.

Shana’s feedback on my brand vision as “fearless” was a fantastic lens through which I have been approaching things lately. I am taking more risks, and putting myself out there in a bigger way that also feels refreshingly natural and aligned with my true self. I highly recommend Shana for individual and team coaching. Her ability to connect and guide me personally, and our women’s executive team collectively, has been outstanding.

Shana is a powerhouse coach who has taught me that bold leadership goes hand in hand with getting to the root of professional challenges and opportunities. As the Chief Executive of a small but growing social impact organization, I first reached out to Shana for insight on managing difficult personalities and how best to practice my own leadership skills in the process. Shana provided me with an insightful sounding board and helped me get clear on what my leadership goals are today and where I want to take them in the future.  She has helped me navigate tricky management dynamics while also reminding me that some of the most difficult professional circumstances are opportunities to practice my own bold leadership.
