Bio

Sharon is an experienced leadership coach who understands the complicated, human realities of leadership. Her expertise isn’t just a line on her résumé; it’s lived experience, earned over 20 years in high-stakes environments where leadership is tested daily, not just theorized.

Sharon’s intuition is what differentiates her coaching approach. She sees the invisible labor, the emotional calculus, and the subtle dynamics that shape a leader’s journey from surviving to thriving. Leadership isn’t just about titles or org charts—it’s about navigating systems, power, and people with empathy and insight.

Sharon’s coaching isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula. It’s a partnership, grounded in her ability to read between the lines and help leaders see themselves and their contexts more clearly. She brings both scholarly rigor and hands-on experience to the table. She can help you cultivate self-leadership, inspire teams, and foster the kind of growth that lasts.
