The Foundational Course

Kind Words from Our Clients

Lavert Robertson

CEO, All Hands Raised

Working with Shari has been far more than I expected when I set out to find an executive coach. I’d received coaching before, but the amount of knowledge and care she gives to her coaching sessions is amazing.

It wasn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It was working with me, hearing me out, and collectively coming up with practical ideas to address my problem of practice. Her approach was customized to where I was as a new nonprofit leader and where I wanted to go. I didn’t feel it was cookie cutter. It was individualized and customized to what I was facing and who I am as a leader.

Betsy Imholt

Director, Oregon Dept of Revenue

The thing about Shari is she is both an expert and so knowledgeable, but also gave us the space to not always have the most relevant questions. She let us proceed on our own individual learning paths. It made a big difference. It definitely got us to an elevated level of knowledge around the issues. It gave us an awareness that we didn’t have before.

Before when these topics came up around racial justice or equity, the team members would kind of freeze, not really knowing what that meant and not really knowing what our latitude was to intervene or disrupt or work with the community outside of our normal channels. I think it freed them up and gave them more confidence that this is everyone’s responsibility.

I would 100% recommend Shari. She’s an expert at what she does and the way she works with you is really reassuring. It will move you forward in the work. I can’t recommend her enough.
