Everything changed when I started working with Shayla
My CEO wanted me to work on executive presence and presenting in a more concise way. In addition, I wanted to work on work/life balance.
Shayla showed me how much harder my approach was making it on me. I learned to simplify everything, show up as a strategic leader focused on what truly matters.
I'm now a cool, calm, confident executive, just like she promised.

It felt scary to invest this much on myself, but everything has changed from working with Shayla
✅ I just landed my dream job—$40K more in base + equity.
✅ My confidence and executive presence? Completely transformed.
✅ I’m not just winning at work—I’m happier at home too.
From mindset to executive presence, Shayla’s coaching taught me exactly what I was missing from being at the executive level.
For me, it was relationships, confidence, and executive systems.
Now, with her by my side, I’m stepping into this new role as a happy, high performing executive.”

"Best decision I made this year.
Shayla didn’t just coach me—she changed how I see myself as a CEO."

Client love
You’re not the problem. Your system is.
If you’ve been working harder, waiting for recognition, or trying to “push through”...
It’s time to do it differently.
NIKKI JOHNSON-BEYRLE
CPO
“I’m now a C-suite executive—and Shayla’s coaching absolutely helped get me here.
"She helped me see the subtle ways I was holding myself back—trying too hard, overexplaining, showing up smaller than I was meant to.
She taught me how to let go of proving energy and lead like the higher-level version of myself.
It felt surprisingly easy—and everyone saw me as a cool, fun, strategic executive.

what they're saying
But I didn’t start there.
I built the Performance + Happiness Formula when I was stuck in middle management, burned out, and overwhelmed. I was a single mom with autoimmune diseases, determined to chase my dreams and show my daughters what was possible.
So I stopped trying to survive and built a system to help me thrive.
Results: I made it to the C-suite, earned six-figure bonuses, landed seven-figure contracts—and I did it without ever missing a birthday.
Relationships: I healed from a traumatic divorce, edited by circle, and got remarried to the absolute best partner for me.
Rituals: I lost 35 pounds, got my autoimmune conditions under control, and now I’m strong, energized, and full of life.
Mindset: I trained my brain to think on purpose, feel on purpose, and create on purpose. That mindset carried me through the hardest chapter of my life—surviving a coma and relearning how to walk and talk again without resentment or regret.
This formula isn’t fluff. It’s the real strategy that changed every part of my life—and now I teach it to leaders who want to stress less, achieve more, and love their whole damn life.
But I’m not just a coach. I was a Chief People Officer who hired and trained executives for a living. I know what it takes to get promoted—and stay powerful.

Hi! I'm Shayla
Dr. Kari Strange
Program Mgr, Technology
I feel like no statement can quite capture the breadth and depth of my growth these several months.
I considered myself confident, capable, and top notch before working with Shayla.
Since working with her, I am joyful, I am prepared, I am in control. I am making thoughtful, intentional decisions that have added value to my life. My days have meaning and excitement.
I am the best version of me I've ever been.

"As a licensed therapist, working mom, and mental health leader, I can be a little skeptical of coaches promising strategy + mindset.
Shayla is the real deal.
She connects the science with real experience to create rapid change in her client's lives."
