Helping Leaders Deliver Remarkable Results
Experienced Leadership Coaching & Consulting
Shaw Strategies: A Leadership Coaching & Consulting Firm
Today's dynamic and rapidly changing landscape requires leadership that is ready to navigate sweeping levels of change and disruption. By igniting the power of authenticity in leadership, I equip leaders to embrace their true selves, inspire trust and transparency, foster innovation and adaptability, and confidently lead their teams through uncertainty towards sustainable success.
What I do...
With over 30 years of commercial and consulting experience, I specialize in helping clients navigate leadership and business challenges throughout their growth lifecycle. My expertise lies in identifying opportunities and bridging ideas to execution, offering a holistic perspective on problem-solving and opportunity-vetting for clients and businesses.
As a leadership coach, I'm passionate about working with leaders and teams who are facing significant change or transformation in their professional journey. While their path forward may be unclear, a sense of urgency to act exists. They want to have a greater impact on their teams, organizations, and careers.
I work with both individuals and groups, supporting new & emerging leaders, high performers, and those in need of a tune-up.
In the simplest sense, the value I provide is helping my clients navigate change and move forward to achieve their goals.
The ultimate goal is improved results for the business and the leader.
The Value of Authentic Leadership
I strongly believe in the transformative power of authenticity in leadership within today's dynamic marketplace. Leaders who embrace authenticity are able to inspire and create a loyal following, leading to remarkable outcomes such as:
- Boosted revenue and profitability by cultivating customer loyalty and fostering strong partnerships.
- Elevated employee engagement and retention through a shared sense of purpose and team alignment.
- Unleashed innovation and creativity within a culture that encourages fresh ideas, resulting in new products, services, and business models.
- Heightened organizational agility, enabling leaders to navigate uncertainty and seize new market opportunities with ease.

The Value of an Outside-In Perspective
An outside-in perspective can be valuable for a leader seeking growth because it provides a fresh and unbiased view of the situation. As a consultant, I offer a wealth of knowledge from working with other organizations, businesses and brands, and can help my clients see their situation from a different angle.
Specifically I bring the following to my engagements:
- New ideas and approaches that may not have been considered. This can lead to breakthroughs in growth and increased competitiveness.
- Informed decision-making by providing new insights and perspectives on the situation and potential growth opportunities.
- Objectivity to avoid biases and overcome cognitive blind spots, resulting in more accurate assessments of strengths and weaknesses.
- Broader experience providing an understanding of how others have navigated similar challenges and opportunities.
Overall, my outside-in perspective helps my clients make better decisions and drive growth for their organization.

My Approach - How I Can Support You
I take a personalized approach to coaching that is tailored to your individual needs – your context, goals, and strengths. We begin by partnering 1:1 through my proprietary 5-step Coaching I-Plan to align on outcomes, identify your leadership brand strengths and determine the changes you'll need to elevate your leadership impact. We then work together to develop a plan that is customized to your needs and goals, drawing on insights and best practices from my experience.
The coaching program typically involves a combination of individual coaching sessions, feedback and assessments, and homework assignments. Throughout the coaching process, I provide guidance and support, and help you to stay focused on your goals. I also encourage you to reflect on your progress and celebrate successes along the way.
