Leadership and Career Coaching
You’re not just climbing the ladder. You’re building it.
Whether you're eyeing your first leadership role or trying not to burn out in the one you’ve already got—I've got you.
Feel like leadership should come with a user manual… or maybe a therapist?
Maybe you just got promoted and you’re wondering when you’ll start to feel like you’re in control of yourself and the job.
Maybe you’ve been leading for a while and still feel like you’re winging it.
Maybe you’re wondering if you’re even cut out for leadership at all.
Perhaps you know exactly where you want to go but aren’t sure how to map out the path.
Welcome. You’re in the right place.
I help professionals who are ready to level-up, cut through the noise, stop playing small, and start doing epic career shit.
Through laser-focused coaching, timely observations, and thought-provoking questions, I help aspiring and established leaders:
- Lead with curiosity and courage, not control
- Build teams that don’t just perform—they kick ass
- Work smarter and not harder
- Advocate for themselves like they own the place (because someday, they just might)

Shaina was a great coach! She provided feedback to me on my own leadership skills, provided counsel on managing others and helped me design a work session to plan workloads and vision for the future. She was always attentive and provided constructive feedback when needed and was easy to talk to. I highly recommend Premier Professional Coaching to those in management and leadership.

Shaina’s coaching helped me really focus on what I love most in my work and how to do more of those things in my current job. Our sessions also helped me strategize how to have the conversations with my boss, the CEO, and my team to ensure I get to do more of the things I love at work. Thanks, Shaina!
Stephanie Miletich, Director of HR at OAM
I loved Shaina, she was a very open-minded and approachable coach through this program. I truly enjoyed the individual coaching session where I was able to get some insight on specific ways I can utilize or tone down my strengths to be a better leader and bring my best self to work every day. Learning my strengths and the strengths of my co-workers has significantly improved our open and honest communication and trust with one another.

I found my time with Shaina so valuable and useful. I received practical advice I could put into practice right away. She has away of pulling information out of you and guiding you to the right answer. I would highly recommend her to a new leader, or one like me with 15+ years of experience. Thank you, Shaina!
Leisa Kimbrough, Director of Revenue Cycle at Orthopaedic Associates of Muskegon
Working with Shaina has been a transformative experience for me as a leader. When I first began coaching, I struggled with confidence in my interactions on the executive team. Shaina created a safe, supportive space where I felt truly heard. Her empathetic approach and insightful reframing helped me see challenges from new perspectives—and more importantly, respond to them with clarity and composure.
One of the biggest turning points for me was realizing I could stand up to my boss in a tactful, professional way—free of emotion—while clearly communicating my point of view. That moment was a clear marker of how far I had come.
Each session was thoughtfully paced, challenging me just enough to grow without overwhelming me. I’ve come away from this experience not only more confident but also more effectively as a leader. I’m deeply grateful for the growth I’ve achieved through our work together.
