Hi! I’m Shelby,

Your people partner!

Not your Chief People Officer, because that sounds like a cross between a cop and an HR manual, and I’m neither.

I’m here to help you build a culture that’s more than policy and performance metrics. One that’s fun, human, and real.

I don’t deal in rules and red tape; I deal in real people.
And yes, I still follow the necessary rules, I just have fun doing it.

Leaders come to me when they’re ready to evolve their leadership and curate a work environment that’s human and fun.

Together, we create cultures where people thrive, not just survive.
Where leadership is grounded in clarity, connection, and real growth.

If you’re ready to lead in a way that feels more you, and build a culture that reflects that too. You’re in the right place.

Why Me

I’ve spent over two decades leading teams, developing people, and building cultures that work.

Before launching my own leadership and culture practice, I spent 20 years leading high-performing regional teams, training emerging leaders, and shaping a culture that kept great people around while making it fun for everyone to show up for work.

Now, I partner with founders, entrepreneurs, and people-first companies to do the same, bringing a mix of structure and soul, heart and strategy, connection and accountability to every conversation.


My Approach

I focus on three core areas that drive lasting results: the leader, the team, and the culture.

Within each, I blend coaching, consulting, and hands-on strategy customized to you:

  • For the Leader: Strengthening clarity, confidence, and leadership skills so you can lead with intention.

  • For the Team: Building ownership, accountability, and alignment so your people feel and work like a team vs individual.

  • For the Culture: Shaping the environment where people want to stay, grow, and contribute at their highest level.

Everything I do, whether it’s coaching, consulting, or building community, is rooted in a set of values that guide how I lead, how I support, and how I serve.

  • Fun & Human: I lead with heart, a sense of humor, and space for the full human experience. There’s room here for laughter, real talk, and the freedom to be yourself.

  • Connection: Whether we’re working 1:1 or inside a group, I prioritize honest conversations, mutual learning, and meaningful connection.

  • Growth: My work is centered on steady progress, thoughtful reflection, and development that fits who you are and where you're headed.

  • Empowerment through Practice: Leadership isn’t just something we talk about; it’s something we do. I offer tools, practices, and space to help you build confidence, take aligned action, and lead in a way that’s true to you.

  • Authenticity: This is a space where you can be honest, take off the mask, and still be seen as strong, capable, and ready to grow.

My work is grounded in four essentials that bring these areas to life:

  • Connection – Leadership is better together. We create space for honest conversations, shared learning, and real support.

  • Growth – Steady, intentional progress that develops skills and self-awareness, without the overwhelm.

  • Support – Structure, guidance, and a safe place to navigate challenges so you’re never leading alone.

  • Fun & Human – Because leadership isn’t a robotic checklist — it’s human, sometimes messy, and absolutely allowed to be fun.

Because people follow what feels real, leadership that’s connected, supported, growing, and not afraid to enjoy the work along the way.
