I spent nearly four decades as an executive stewarding leadership development and organizational change inside complex, global Fortune 500 organizations during periods of intense growth and transformation.
Now I work with leaders and teams to strengthen how they think, decide, and lead — so success feels sustainable, grounded, and true to who they are.
Wellbeing is not the price of success — it’s the foundation.
I work with founders and senior leaders who want to perform at a high level without sacrificing wellbeing. I will guide you to develop a grounded, embodied way of leading — where clarity replaces reactivity, boundaries replace urgency, and decisions are made with consistency and integrity.
Coaching for Leaders
I partner with leaders and teams to strengthen how people work together — starting at the individual level, then extending that into greater collaboration and creativity. We’ll work together to assess where your team is today and develop the best solutions to unlock potential for innovation and growth.
Consulting for Organizations
Insightful, science-informed talks that reframe the relationship between wellbeing and performance. I help leaders and teams understand what it takes to stay focused, productive and creative even during the most challenging times, and what actually allows people and teams to move forward together.
Keynote Talks for Real Change

"Working with Sheila was genuinely transformative. Her coaching is grounded in deep insight, steadiness, and an exceptional ability to see what matters most — often before it’s fully visible to you yourself. This coaching didn’t just help me move forward — it helped me realign how I lead with who I am. That shift has had a lasting impact on my leadership and my business."
— Shirin Salemnia, Founder & CEO, PlayWerks Inc.

"Sheila’s keynote session was powerful, insightful, and filled with wisdom. She reminded us how much our mindset and perception can shape not just our experiences, but the very direction of our lives. Through her stories and practical techniques, she showed us how to navigate life’s challenges with strength, compassion, and authenticity — and to use them to create true transformation."

What I believe
You don’t have to sacrifice your wellbeing or become someone else to achieve outstanding results.
When leaders override themselves in the name of performance, it creates subtle but real costs: loss of clarity, energy, and connection. Over time, those costs show up as burnout, stalled growth, and work that feels heavier than it needs to be.
Rather than focusing on surface behaviors or prescribed techniques, I work with leaders to examine how their thinking, energy and presence shape outcomes. When those elements are aligned, leadership becomes clearer, conversations become more productive, progress accelerates and results sustain even in the most challenging environments.
