Unleashing the Power of Women in Leadership

Imagine standing at the threshold of your next career and life milestone—an opportunity that demands every ounce of your expertise, confidence, and presence. You know you’re capable, but something is holding you back. Maybe it's the fear of making a bold move, or perhaps it's navigating the complex dynamics of corporate leadership, all while raising a family and volunteering for causes important to you. 


I’m Barbara Sheaves, a former corporate vice president who became a self-employed high-performance coach and mentor, and I’ve been exactly where you are. I spent over 25 years in business and Human Resources at the leadership and executive levels, climbing the ladder, and coaching leaders at the highest level. While I thoroughly enjoyed and excelled in my leadership roles, I didn't quite understand why I wasn't feeling more fulfilled after hitting the peak of my career as a Vice President.  After going through coaching, I discovered greater clarity and alignment on what I wanted more of (and less of).   Now part of my mission is to help women break through the barriers holding them back, to help them rise with even greater confidence and fulfillment.   I have never been happier and felt more present and balanced.  


Today, I specialize in guiding high-achieving corporate women and female business owners to excel beyond their limits. Whether you're gunning for a promotion, transitioning careers, or seeking to elevate your leadership impact, rest assured that our research-backed coaching strategies will propel you forward, mastering the balance between ambition and fulfillment.


The world needs strong female leaders now more than ever, and I’m here to empower you to become one.

Professional Coaching Services

One-on-one coaching or group sessions for Executives, Leaders, People Managers, HR Leaders, and High Potential employees who want to develop and grow to their next level of success and fulfillment.  


 I customize a series of weekly or biweekly coaching sessions that focus on helping you get the most significant shifts,  reach your goals and have greater fulfillment.  





Short-Term or Supplementary HR Executive Services


Some organizations need an HR/LR leader and expert to fill a critical short-term leadership role while looking for a permanent solution.  I have stepped into this role many times and will help your organization through a turbulent time while coaching your executive and developing the HR team.  I can also get involved in, among other things,  the development of:


  • Progressive employee and leadership attraction and retention strategies
  • Succession Planning for executive/senior leadership retirements
  • Workplace Culture,  Team Assessments with action plans
  • Act as your company's independent senior HR Advisor for Executive/Senior Leadership Recruitment, Selection and Onboarding.



Leadership or HR training and special topics for team meetings or retreats

Inquire for your next meeting, team development, or business function.  A  tailored message or workshop can help coach your managers, leaders, and employees to grow and succeed.

What exactly is High Performance Coaching?

One-on-one High-Performance Coaching uses a scientifically tested and proven approach to achieve success rooted in decades of research. Unlike other coaching programs, the coach leads the agenda and focus of our coaching, ensuring that each session results in progress and movement forward for you.


Every coaching session has clear goals and intended outcomes, and every session builds on the next. Hence, you experience a level of learning and leadership development that is intentional and strategic in its progression. In addition, each session is followed up with a copy of an easy, practical tool that reinforces the session topic and allows you to reflect more deeply.



High-Performance Coaching helps you  “succeed above and beyond standard norms over the long term while maintaining well-being and positive relationships.”
