We had the privilege of hosting Shaina at our office to lead a session for our leaders on navigating difficult conversations, and her impact was nothing short of transformative. Shaina brought a wealth of knowledge and real-world experience to the table, which resonated deeply with our team. Her ability to foster an open and safe environment encouraged us to explore challenging topics with courage and empathy. Through interactive exercises and thought-provoking discussions, she equipped us with practical strategies for handling tough conversations with confidence and grace. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any organization seeking to enhance their communication skills and foster a culture of openness and understanding.

Thank you so much Shaina for a great experience. I really enjoyed our time working together.

“Getting a new job as a middle-aged man can be scary, especially one in a new field. When I met with Shaina, that fear went away. She was informative, and patient with all of my questions. We worked together to establish goals, and I was given the tools to update my resume and online presence. I feel more confident than ever about finding a career in my new field. Thank you so much Shaina! “

“I wasn’t expecting to be on the job hunt and working with Shaina really helped me get in the right mindset. I never thought to have an elevator pitch, but once I did, I was able to use it effectively to introduce myself as well as hone my cover letter. I don’t think it was a coincidence that once I started using the resume we re-worked together, that I was getting more responses from prospective employers. Finally, I felt very confident in the interview process thanks to our interview preparation session. Shaina was very personal and easy to talk to. She made the hard tasks like self-assessments easier.”

“The thought of pursuing a new job was scary! Shaina’s one-on-one coaching style made the overwhelming tasks so much easier to tackle. After starting with the Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment, she walked me through, step-by-step, how to use each of my strengths to my advantage. I am now much more confident and ready to get the job that allows me to be more of who I am.”

“The workshop with Shaina was so valuable! I think deeply about teams and how to make the most of myself and those around me. The strengths system helped me unlock key points that I always had missed in my branding. In addition, I was able to connect deeper with our Emerging Leaders team members. I feel significantly more equipped to lead and collaborate effectively! Thank you Shaina!”

“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.”

"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."

-Dani L, Operations Manager ATL Federal Credit Union

“Shaina’s CliftonStrengths(c) workshop was such a great team-building experience for our non-profit board! We learned so much about ourselves and each other, and Shaina helped us discover unique ways to leverage our individual skills to work together as a team toward our common goals this year! She was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and kept our virtual group engaged throughout our session. I would highly recommend Shaina if you want to maximize the strengths of your team to achieve great results!”
