High-Achieving Women Aren't Breaking Down Because They Lack Strength

Research shows that 59% of women in the workforce report signs of burnout, and more than half of women in leadership roles describe feeling worn down every day. This is not a character flaw. It is the expected outcome of years spent producing at peak output while shouldering hidden responsibilities that no job title ever captures.

At True North Coaching, we partner with high-achieving women in Cedar Park to work through the whole picture, rather than only treating surface symptoms.

I have been working with Shelley for the past 2 years on my leadership development journey. Shelley supported me as I took a deep dive into my professional and personal history. She helped me to slow down and recognize certain behaviors and understand that I can pivot in the moment. Ultimately, my work with Shelley turned out to be so much more than what I expected.

Working with Shelley was instrumental in creating the results and change I was after. She adeptly pivots insight from years of corporate experience into leadership coaching and teaching. Initially hard-won progress accumulated, gained momentum, and became second nature. If you'd like to be accountable for your change and growth, I recommend Shelley and True North Coaching.

I highly recommend Shelley if you need a coach, thought partner, and guide. She provides practical tools and advice, but 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!

What to Know Before You Start Burnout Coaching

Burnout coaching is a one-on-one, forward-focused process that helps professionals identify the source of their exhaustion and create a realistic path to lasting energy and engagement at work. With Shelley, sessions are conducted virtually and built around your individual circumstances. The process is not about reviewing the past but about getting clear on the direction you want to take and removing what stands between you and that outcome.

Therapy addresses past experiences and clinical mental health needs. Coaching is aimed at the present and future, developing the skills, mindset, and leadership qualities that help you keep moving forward. Shelley practices coaching, not therapy, and coaching is not a clinical service. A number of clients choose to work with both a therapist and a coach simultaneously and find that the two complement one another.

Shelley works with women in professional and leadership roles, including executives, managers, and entrepreneurs who are experiencing burnout or hoping to get ahead of it. If you feel depleted, disconnected from your purpose at work, or like something is fundamentally off, this coaching is built for you.

Most clients commit to working with Shelley for six to nine months, although the actual duration reflects your goals and your starting point. Generating sustainable change is a process that takes time, and Shelley builds her work on that foundation rather than offering fast fixes.

Every coaching session with Shelley is held virtually through video, which means you can participate from wherever you are. Clients often find that virtual appointments are easier to protect in a packed schedule, and that flexibility matters when your time is tight.

Yes. In addition to burnout coaching and leadership coaching for individual clients, Shelley offers leadership training programs for organizations. If you want to bring burnout prevention or leadership development to your workplace, contact Shelley to discuss what a program for your team might look like.
