Every blindspot carries a question: What is this situation asking of you? The answer is never to fix what's broken — it's to unlock what's been waiting. Because insight without action is just entertainment, but insight with intention? That's transformation.

— Sheila R. Carmichael, MCC, M.Ed., Doctoral Candidate: Organizational Leadership

  • "At the start of our engagement, I had about a year and a half of experience as a VP and challenged myself to truly level up and operate as a strategic executive. Through working with Sheila, I learned to recognize my default leadership styles and understand when each situation called for something different. The 360 feedback process led to deeper self-awareness — not just about me, but about the senior executives I support and what I need to do to keep growing. I discovered how essential confidence is at this level, and that what's needed to lead directors is fundamentally different and elevated."

    — Jenn C., VP, Human Resources Business Partner

  • "I came to Sheila because I needed to present my ideas in a more concise and compelling manner. She helped me clarify the key points of my message and how to present them in a way that stands out — without getting lost in verbosity. What I valued most is that she will help you clarify what is truly important and align your message directly to your goals."
