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 of more, 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 Human Resources at the leadership and executive levels, climbing the ladder, and coaching leaders at the highest level. But I knew I wanted more—I wanted to help women like you break through the barriers holding them back, to help you rise with even greater confidence and seize what you’ve earned.
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 of them.
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.
Service: Job Interviews Made Easy
If you want to be prepared and confident for your next leadership interview rather than stressed and ill-equipped, I know I can help. Throughout my 25-year career in human resources, I have interviewed thousands of job candidates and learned a thing or two about what makes people successful in job interviews. I have also been successful as an interview candidate, which led to significant promotions and senior-level job offers throughout my career.
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.
