OUR APPROACH

You are a whole person that requires whole solutions. Unlike leadership development programs that only focus on how you show up at work, SYL is a multi-faceted coaching program that acknowledges your different aspects and gives you tools that allow you to thrive in life and at the office. Our signature framework integrates grounding routines with a hands-on creative approach to help you reach your career and personal goals. Together, we decipher the aspects of your home and work life to see where there's room for growth. One’s presence in the workplace is always influenced by the home, without restorative practices it is easy to become unproductive and overwhelmed. For career overachievers burnt out under grind culture, SYL can be useful for decolonizing the belief that your value comes from work, and gaining a healthy balance. For those struggling in the workplace, we can identify your triggers at work, as well as the patterns that lead to procrastination and mental fog.

OUR PROCESS

Your coaching journey begins with a 90min deep dive into your personal mission, vision, and goals using the signature Sh8peshift Your Life “SHIFT MAP”. This process will provide you with a clear ‘north star” that lays out your coaching aspirations as well as some of the core issues that we will focus on during our coaching sessions. Afterwards, we’ll meet bi-monthly or monthly (depending on your desired pace) one-on-one to work through your coaching blueprint. Sessions can include but are not limited to:

➊

Introduction of new leadership frameworks for career success.

Lifestyle design hacks to optimize your time and allow you to focus on key priorities.
