Testimonials

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your [leadership] seminar at the LPU. It has made my life so much easier.

Helping people is a deep, inner need for me. I thought that was only possible if I always had a solution, an answer, ready for everyone.

I felt responsible when things didn’t work out the way people wanted, and it always weighed heavily on me.

Since your coaching, I know that it’s not my job to give other people answers. My job is to help them find answers that everyone can only find IN THEMSELVES…

I can finally hand responsibility back to everyone. It feels wonderful and light.

“I started coaching with Shani to improve my team management skills. It was right after four of my direct reports quit and two blamed me. The results have been phenomenal – I now have a happy team, we’re connected and passionate about our business, and working together. An unexpected result was I now have a great relationship with my manager, where there is trust and affinity.”

Shani is my coach and does an amazing job – truly the best coach I’ve had in my career.

She has a fun, stress-free way of interacting but always gets to the root of the challenge/problem for the day, asking probing questions, guiding me in considering my options/solutions and always helping me get to closure on next steps. She is consistently taking classes and courses to improve her coaching/consulting skills. She is a great leader/businesswoman/coach – smart, driven, hard-working while also creative and innovative. I just wish I had the pleasure of working with Shani earlier in my career/life!

“Love your smarts, sass, and river of flowing metaphors.”

“Shani has been an invaluable resource for my career overall and professional development as a business leader. She is incredibly thoughtful and strategic in helping me enhance my specific career goals. From brainstorming business planning to navigating sensitive and complex team topics, Shani has successfully coached me through them all. I believe I am a more balanced, confident, and respected leader because of her leadership coaching.”

“At Twitter, Shani has consistently exceeded expectations by putting in extra work to customize and contextualize each of her trainings for the audience she is working with. We move fast here, and we need partners that can innovate and iterate along with us. Shani has proven herself to be more than up to the challenge.”

“We turn to Shani as our agency’s coach for strategic planning, leadership development, employee advancement and much more. She embodies that rare blend of experience, passion and wisdom. She’s “LeaderShifted” many times in her career. Now, she’s guiding many at our firm to fulfill their commitment to that philosophy no matter what their management level.”

“I wanted to thank you for your work with our team this spring. Your style of facilitation was great and your insights from knowledge, expertise and experience were very meaningful and helpful. In the last few weeks, all I learned was put to the test…I wanted you to know that the effort you put forth during our sessions really had an impact and resulted in successful concrete outcomes.”

“I have translated many management training courses in my career, and have to say that yours was exceptional: you succeeded in engaging the trainees, an international group no less, with a degree of enthusiasm I have never seen before. What they were most excited about – they kept gushing to me about this – was the fact that you gave them hands-on tools that they felt confident about using, coupling that with a greater understanding of themselves and their partners gave them the feeling that they could achieve anything!”
