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 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.
