Welcome to Thrive Coaching

I used to believe that success meant following the traditional corporate path. After earning my Master of Science in Organizational Behavior from New York University, I thought climbing the corporate ladder was the only way to achieve my goals. I've learned there's a better way to thrive though, and I'm here to help you find your own balance between work and life.

In my career as a human resources advisor, I worked closely with leaders and employees, coaching, developing, and training executives and new leaders across various industries, including publishing, fashion, technology services, and startups. Despite my success, I found myself overworked, overwhelmed, and drained by the end of each day, often not finishing until 10pm or later. I knew I couldn’t keep going like this, but I didn’t know where to start.

 

[Wait for it - this is where coaching comes in!]

 

A few years ago, I worked with a coach and was so amazed by the transformation that I knew coaching was my true calling. Even as I continued my corporate journey, the idea of becoming a coach stayed with me. When I finally reached a breaking point, I took a leap of faith and signed up for a weekend seminar the night before it started. That was the beginning of my coaching journey.

 

Now, I work with individuals who are in the same position I once was. I've never looked back, because helping professionals reclaim their personal lives, own their time, reignite relationships, and prioritize themselves is incredibly rewarding. I love being a part of their transformative journeys.

 

I studied at the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), specializing in leadership and executive coaching. I am a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and am certified in the Energy Leadership Assessment (ELI-MP).

 

On a personal note, I have an identical twin, enjoy craft beer, and love spending time with good people. I’m passionate about water-related activities, and have recently taken up mountain biking, snowboarding, and axe throwing. I travel back to Montana to see family whenever I can, and you can often find me at EDM music festivals around the world. 

 

Contact me, and let's take back your personal time!

 

In Harmony,

Shawna
