I had the pleasure of meeting Shaina through an event for GVSU’s Alumni Career Coaching Database and had the opportunity to hear her keynote presentation for the GVSU Leadership Summit. From chatting one-on-one to hearing her insights on leadership, Shaina made me feel immediately welcomed and inspired to grow as a professional and leader. I have already begun to implement the practical advice she gave into my work to lead more authentically. I highly recommend Shaina for anyone who is looking to grow as a leader!

Robert Hughes, Owner of Hughes Integrated
I wanted to tell you just how grateful we are for your willingness to speak to our group last week. You did a masterful job and especially so in engaging people in a format (virtual) that makes it all too easy to not be as engaged. I mentioned afterwards that with all the things we did, I felt yours was one of our best sessions yet!
Eric Kelliher, Kent ISD
Shaina is an engaging speaker who has the ability to get everyone in the crowd to participate. She has a lot of wisdom to share that can be applied in a practical way. She was a pleasure to meet, learn from and talk with. I highly recommend her!
