Transforming How Leaders and Teams Connect, Think & Generate Results Together

“The models, theory and concepts which Sheila shared have helped to make concrete certain dynamics and behaviours which were previously nameless or unconscious and illustrated a clear path to improvement.”

What does it mean to increase your leadership capacity and achieve team excellence?

During this mini session, I will be asking you the most pertinent questions my clients answer to exponentially increase the value and impact they create – for themselves and their teams.

I will share the blueprint I’ve outlined in my book – building on what I’ve seen work for over a decade with leaders and teams.

Of course, no two leaders are the same and no two teams are the same. So, block out an hour and, together, we will explore common themes leaders and their teams face, and you can get clear on your next steps to take an intentional approach to how you support yourself – and your team – to thrive.

TESTIMONIALS

I have been working with Sheila for a few years now and have found Sheila’s support and advice to be invaluable. Sheila has a practical approach and any topics can be openly discussed. In the many varied and often difficult challenges of leadership, I found it so helpful to discuss issues with Sheila who provides such helpful insights and advice. I am a big advocate of psychological safety and building healthy cultures where all team members feel safe, cared for and valued – Sheila has been such a strength to me in building such a culture. I would highly recommend Sheila to anyone wishing to have a mentor who is trustworthy and has extensive experience in leadership and workplace issues.

Sasha Oliver

Chief Financial Officer

During 2022, I was fortunate to be coached by Sheila as I led my team through a challenging transformation program. Though this, Sheila leveraged her broad range skills to provide honest, constructive and insightful advice to help develop my leadership, confidence and approach.

Of note, Sheila took the time to explore the challenges of the program, understand the impacts and opportunities and then shaped her coaching based on those parameters. I felt Sheila’s advice and methods were perfectly tailored to the specific set of challenges, not just a “standard” framework. As a result, I feel very certain in saying that Sheila’s coaching had a direct positive impact not just on myself, but on my team and the overall program outcomes. I highly recommend Sheila’s coaching, both for individuals and teams.

James Kent

Chief Technology Officer

Sheila is an inspiring and innovative coach in both individual and team situations. Her innate ability to quickly recognise and work with a team dynamic holds her in good stead to really bring out the best in each participant in a team environment. This results in high performing individuals moving into a space of psychological safety, where they can work together to become a high performing team.

Amalie Smith

Chief Human Resources Officer

Sheila’s genuine passion for her chosen field is almost infectious. She is thought-provoking and insightful – coaching and challenging as required. Through warmth, humour, perception and expertise, Sheila encouraged me to view work situations through multiple lenses and helped me build tools to respond. She remains a silent supportive voice urging me forward. I value the insights Sheila helped me develop on various occasions over the years, and highly recommend her as a professional advocate and coach for individuals and teams alike.

Aideen O’Donovan

Chief Financial Officer

My sessions with Sheila have really helped me to distil and test strategies for how I influence and collaborate with key stakeholders. Sheila has helped me with effective tools and approaches for creating clarity of purpose across my team and clear pathways to achieve our goals. She challenges me to re-frame how I think about myself and my actions to recognise the positive and to build my confidence by acknowledging what is working well and how I apply my strengths to the things that challenge me. I really value Shelia’s directness, clarity of thinking, experience and empathy – she helps me to test my thinking with great guidance and very practical application.

Senior Safety Specialist

The models, theory and concepts which Sheila shared have helped me to make concrete certain dynamics and behaviours which were previously nameless or unconscious and illustrated a clear path to improvement.

Sheila is knowledgeable, warm, congenial and supportive. She practises what she preaches, is a good active listener with strong interpersonal skills, and importantly is attentive to detail when working with diverse leaders (in the program).

Really lean into the information and discussion to embed the model. Sheila is a fantastic facilitator; she is very skilled at seeing everyone in the group and bringing their contributions into the discussion.

Louise Ryan

A/Executive Officer

If you’re a leader with experience to build on Sheila will get you thinking more purposefully about what you are doing and why.

She has an ability to draw things out of you rather than telling you what you need to do and her programme focuses on finding what’s right for you and your team rather than cookie-cutter leadership lessons.

Sheila has also offered great guidance for career pathway decisions and tools that I can use to understand my true motivations for future opportunities.

Beverley Farrell

Bronwyn Cox

Head of Learning and Organisation Development

I worked with Sheila when my career had stagnated and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do next. Initially i had my doubts that the programme could assist me but from the very first session Sheila was helping me on my journey.

What differentiated Sheila from other career development programmes was that she individualised our sessions.

She listened, took time to understand me, my strengths and areas that required further development.

Sheila was also a wonderful advocate, assisting me in asking my organisation to support me and alter the environment to better support me.

I really missed our sessions when they ended, but often draw on the learnings of that time and thankfully Sheila continues to reach out to see how i am tracking

Kiri Walker

Chief Financial Officer

I have been working with Sheila in developing my career as leader as well as developing the teams presence to be more connected. Sheila’s passion to make people shine through a more connected understanding of self has really grounded me as a leader to strip back differing situations to make confident and calculated decisions. Sheila has a massive toolbox that she swiftly uses to assist the growth of individuals or tools that bring teams together.

Sheila has really sparked a passion and level of confidence within myself to take on new opportunities, perform with passion while being connected to my values that underpin me as a leader.

I highly recommend Sheila in coaching individuals or teams to be more connected as a leader or assisting in creating a value add, connected team.

Romain Papasidero

Manager Integrated Works Delivery

I highly recommend Sheila as a coach for anyone aiming to enhance their own, and others performance. Sheila is relational, personable and appropriately challenging as she guides clients to find their growth edge, set realistic stretch goals, and build on existing strengths. For my part, I reached out to Sheila after stepping into a new role, feeling overwhelmed and not at my best. Using the framework outlined in her book, The Pinnacle of Presence: How great leaders connect, instil trust & get the right results; Sheila quickly helped identify what I needed to focus on, my goals and how we were going to work together. I felt supported and stretched from start to finish and have a high performing team as a result of this partnership, and my passion for leading restored.

Amalie Smith

Chief Human Resource Officer

Sheila’s Leader as Team Coach program has been one of the most well-received leadership programs that Legal Aid NSW has implemented.

The feedback has been exceptionally enthusiastic, with one participant describing it as ‘the best and most productive time I have spent on myself in a very long time’.

Two others attributed their recent success in securing more senior roles to the course.

We intend to embed Leader as Team Coach as one of our flagship offerings in our management and development framework; and see it as central to increasing alignment and collaboration within and across teams.

Hey, I’m Sheila

I’m your host for the next 60 minutes

For over a decade I have had the privilege of supporting smart, brave and dedicated leaders by showing them how to improve their ability to work effectively with others to produce results.
With my support, they have moved from being stuck or overwhelmed to being empowered to release their own potential and lead highly effective teams.
The best leaders create environments that their teams thrive in.
The trouble is it’s not always easy to know where to start.
If your team is disconnected and disengaged or simply misaligned, its members have no chance of reaching their maximum potential.

However, with a few key changes and clear strategies, it’s possible to achieve outstanding results together.

Let me show you how.
