Be a Leader Everyone Wants to Work With
Leadership Training for You and Your Team
85% of managers believe they are doing a good job, yet only 30% of the workforce is engaged. Turn this statistic around in your organization.
Leadership isn’t just a skill—it’s the backbone of every thriving organization. Organizations thrive when their people thrive. Good leaders are experts at creating that kind of environment. My proven training programs will equip your leadership team with the tools and mindset they need to get there.
- Boost confidence in company leadership
- Inspire engagement at every level
- Retain top talent
- Develop a culture of trust
With a blend of teaching and coaching grounded in CliftonStrengths and ICF-certified coaching methodologies, I guide leaders to shift from “doers” to skilled coaches who inspire their teams to perform at their highest capacity. Whether it’s a healthcare team or a corporate department, this approach transforms both leaders and their organizations.
When Leaders Aren’t Leading, Employees Notice.

What one poor leader can cost an organization over the course of a year.

My credit union hired Shaina for strengths coaching during our annual training and I found it to be an extremely rewarding experience, both personally and professionally. Not only did our small staff function as a team, but we were onboarding a new C.E.O. at the time. It was enlightening to realize how our varied strengths could be used to complement each other and we learned a lot about each other. Shaina was a dynamic leader and facilitator.

I had the pleasure of meeting Shaina when she facilitated a program for the Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment. What an impactful experience! I am always amazed by facilitators who guide their audience through the discovery process so that they can reach meaningful conclusions and reflect in real time. Shaina made all of our “aha” moments feel so natural, and really encouraged us to see how our strengths can complement others’ in our midst. This is such important work, especially in today’s workforce and communities where how we collaborate so profoundly affects how effective we are at supporting our why within what we are doing. Shaina has a clear sense of self awareness and purpose that allows her to nurture this process in others with ease and grace.
