For Leaders who don't want to wait
Ambroshia Mandagaran
Vice President,Healthcare
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.

But real executive life doesn’t fit into neat little boxes.
How to choose the right executive coach for you.
1:1 Coaching
One week, I was navigating boardroom politics—figuring out how to get key stakeholders aligned on a massive deal.
The next, I was restructuring my team—having tough conversations while ensuring morale stayed high.
Then, I was preparing for a high-stakes presentation—knowing I needed to be both persuasive and prepared for every possible challenge.
I negotiated compensation packages, led teams through industry disruptions, and figured out how to lead through burnout—mine and my team’s.
All while being a single mom, trying not to drop the ball on soccer practice, homework, and the school science fair.
While managing friendships, navigating family drama, and figuring out how to actually have a life outside of work.
I didn’t start at the top. I started at the bottom—just a girl from Kansas, waiting tables, with no roadmap for success. But I figured it out. I worked my way up, step by step, until I made it to the C-suite by 40.
I didn’t just survive the corporate climb—I cracked the code.
I became a happy, high-performing C-Suite executive with luxurious amounts of time for the things that mattered most. I mastered how to increase my performance while decreasing stress, build strong relationships without overextending myself, and simplify my schedule without sacrificing success.
Now, I coach executives who want the same.
It’s like trying to piece together success from books and podcasts versus having someone who’s already been there tell you exactly what works—and what doesn’t—so you can get there faster.
I know the challenges because I lived them. I know what works because I had to figure it out. I’ve been in the high-stakes meetings, navigated the burnout, and made it to the other side—with my success and my sanity intact.
If you’re a high-performing leader who wants to:
- Get promoted without spinning your wheels
- Lead at a high level without drowning in stress
- Simplify your schedule and reclaim your life
Then I’m the coach for you.
If you’re ready for a coach who can actually meet you where you are and help you win at work and in life, let’s talk.
Coaching is powerful—and the right coach makes all the difference.
Everyone wants to be in the top 10% of performers and of earners, but let's be honest, half the people at the top are miserable.
In the 5% club we do it differently. We perform at the top while loving our lives. Listen now.

Monthly planning session, weekly application sessions, we work on Results, Relationships, Results; quickly getting to the root of anything hindering performance and fulfillment.
This is not a therapy session.
We don't sulk and complain or spend hours dreaming about the future.
We create a vision and achieve it. It's that simple.

1:1 Coaching
Shayla King, started Evolve after 20 years leading leadership training and coaching for some of the largest companies in America.
As a single mom with autoimmune diseases, and a workaholic with a lot to prove, I struggled climbing the ladder and finding any work life balance or maintaining healthy habits.
After a huge health scare, I committed to finding a better way.
I studied what makes some people more successful than others, and what makes some people happier than others. I the trialed these new concepts in my life.
Eventually I pieced together enough and everything started clicking. I was working less, and making more. I was achieving more, but feeling less stress. I stopped being the hot mess mom and stepped into being a calm, collected, happy executive.
I mastered the art of working less, earning more, and carving out luxurious amounts of time for what matters most— kids, family, and friends. And I built it into a framework to help others skip the chaos.
Now I teach clients to take back control of their life so they can improve their performance + happiness.
From hot mess manager mom to calm, happy executive mom

Shayla is one of the most motivational speakers I’ve seen! She truly cares about other women by supporting and motivating them.
She has personally mentored me 1:1 and has helped me improved in my work skill-set, presenting in meetings and helping me feel comfortable when talking about the not so easy topics. I really appreciate the take-aways she’s provided me with and I’m more confident at work and in my personal life because of her!
