How to Know You Are Ready for a Burnout Coach

Work no longer gives you energy, even when you are succeeding at it.

The drive you used to count on has faded, and you are showing up and doing the job while wondering quietly how long you can keep that going.

You have reached what you set out to reach as a leader, and it does not feel the way you thought it would.

Something is still missing, but you are not sure how to name it or what to do next.

You know that a version of your life exists where you lead without feeling depleted, but getting there has proven harder than expected.

The tools and strategies you have tried on your own have not been enough.

What Coaches Are Saying

"It was a privilege to work with Shelley as my leadership coach! The process was structured and yet flexible enough to meet needs as they arose. Shelley helped me to grow, learn more about myself, and to really achieve what I set out to accomplish. We worked on planning, navigating a promotion successfully, and so much more! I experienced many successes as a result of working with Shelley, she has great resources, knowledge, and really helps with setting the foundation to this coaching work. She won’t let you down!"

Stacy Campos
Regional Coordinator
"Having the opportunity to have Shelley as my Leadership Coach could not have come at a better time in my career. I was recently promoted to CFO and was new to the Senior Management Team. Shelley helped me navigate joining the team as well as helped me to determine who I wanted to be as a leader. The Leadership Circle Profile helped our team to discover our blinds spots and to be able to understand each other better. Working with Shelley not only has affected my professional life in a positive way, but also my personal life. She helped me take leaps and has given me the resources to continue this journey of self-improvement. If you’re looking to find more about yourself and how you can be the best version of yourself, I highly recommend working with Shelley."

Kristen Spedale
CFO
"I have been working with Shelley for the past 2 years on my leadership development journey. What I thought would be a straight line, I soon learned with Shelley’s guidance, was a winding path with several ups and downs along the way. Shelley supported me as I took a deep dive into my professional and personal history and learned how it affects my approach and my perceptions. She helped me to slow down and recognize certain behaviors and understand that I can pivot in the moment or try again next time. Ultimately, my work with Shelley turned out to be so much more than what I expected. Her approach to coaching was exactly what I needed."

Nicole Naassan
Senior Vice President, Consulting
"I've learned more about leadership in the past six months working with Shelley than I have in my 10+ year career. She is an incredible coach with many tools in her toolbox. The guidance and mentorship I've received from Shelley has been life-changing. She will challenge your limiting beliefs and inspire new ways of thinking."

Margaret Soltis
Creative Director
"I highly recommend Shelley if you need a coach, thought partner, and guide as you consider the next steps in your career. Most importantly, she is an expert at helping you cut through the noise of your limiting beliefs. At the end of our time together, I had a much clearer vision of what I wanted in my life and a plan to make it happen. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner!"

Elizabeth Magnus
"My coaching sessions with Shelley have brought me back to living. It’s been contagious, spreading throughout my personal and professional life. I now have the building blocks I need to continue setting healthy boundaries, the freedom to show up as my authentic self, and an adaption of a growth mindset that has allowed me to make bold decisions and try new things. I’ve discovered that there’s always another way and how to eradicate barriers that lead to tunnel vision. These sessions with Shelley have been a great gift and have given me the momentum I need to continue the journey to be my best self."

Teasha Houston
Art Director
"It is amazing to think where I was only 10 months ago when I first started working with Shelley and where I am now. Not only professionally but mentally and emotionally. Shelley helped me navigate out of an unhealthy work environment by challenging me and asking me those tough questions we never seem to ask ourselves. What are the values of a true leader? How do those values align with my own? Shelley challenging me and guiding me through some of those tough questions is what led to my epiphany and me having the courage and confidence to leave an environment that threatened my well-being. She taught me how to become more self-aware and self-compassionate. Reminded me to be kind even when the world would understand if I did otherwise. And the biggest one for me, shutting down that crazy inner voice (we all have it!) and replacing it with being present. Shelley has armed me with tools that I will carry with me for a lifetime. Tools that will help me to continue to grow and learn. Life can be hard but working with someone like Shelley does make it easier. She will help you navigate the good and the bad and you’ll learn so much about yourself in the process."

Frequently Asked Questions

Burnout coaching is a structured process with a forward focus. It helps professionals get clear on what is driving their exhaustion and build a plan for energy and fulfillment that holds up over time. Sessions are one-on-one, held virtually, and shaped around your specific situation. Rather than examining the past, coaching keeps its attention on where you want to go and what is in the way.
Therapy focuses on past experiences and clinical mental health concerns. Coaching works with where you are now and where you are going, building skills, perspective, and leadership habits that carry you forward. Shelley is not a therapist, and coaching is not a replacement for clinical mental health support. Many clients find the two approaches work well in combination.
Shelley works mainly with women in professional roles and leadership positions, such as executives, managers, and entrepreneurs who are either in the middle of burnout or looking to avoid it. If you feel depleted, without direction, or disconnected from meaning in your work, this coaching is for you.
Most people work with Shelley for six to nine months, though that varies based on individual goals and starting points. Lasting change is not a fast process, and Shelley designs her work with that understanding rather than setting expectations that cannot be met.
All sessions with Shelley are held virtually through video, making it easy to participate from wherever you are. Clients consistently find that virtual appointments fit more easily into a demanding schedule, which matters when your days are already packed.
Yes. Beyond individual burnout coaching and leadership coaching for women, Shelley provides training programs for teams and organizations. If you are looking to bring burnout prevention or leadership development to your organization, reach out to talk through what that kind of engagement could look like.
