Evolve Coaching partners with HR and talent leaders to retain top executives, develop the mid-to-senior pipeline, and protect your employer brand through difficult transitions.
Every HR leader we work with is navigating at least one of these. Most are navigating all three.
The executives your company cannot afford to lose are often the ones no one is investing in. Coaching is the retention signal that actually moves the needle, before they start taking calls.
Your Directors and VPs were promoted for performance. Most were never developed for leadership. Without targeted investment, they plateau or they leave for companies that do invest in them.
Your legal and reputational exposure from a reduction in force does not end at notification. It ends when displaced leaders land. A real outplacement program protects what a generic one cannot.
Most coaching firms have never held the roles they are coaching into. We have. That is the difference that changes outcomes.
Founder Shayla King was a Chief People Officer and M&A executive at a $7B Koch Industries division and global leadership trainer at Boeing. She does not coach from theory. She coaches from experience in the room.
Our programs are built around measurable business results. Promotions secured, deals closed, team performance lifted, retention achieved. We expect ROI and we build every program to deliver it.
Most leadership programs cover skills and maybe mindset at the surface. Our PH+ Lab goes into four pillars: Mindset, Results, Relationships, and Rituals. Relationships and Rituals are almost never in corporate programs. They should be.
A one-day workshop creates inspiration. A 6-month cohort creates change. The peer accountability model in PH+ Lab is why results hold. It is also why companies that have tried other programs come to us after they do not.
Transparent pricing because HR leaders deserve to plan without surprises. All programs include a discovery call to assess fit before any commitment is made.
A complete job transition program for Director and VP-level leaders exiting through a reduction in force. Goes well beyond resume help into the leadership coaching and positioning strategy that actually accelerates landing.
A cohort-based group coaching program for high-performing women at the Director and VP level. Built on four pillars most programs do not touch: Mindset, Results, Relationships, and Rituals. Grounded in neuroscience. Focused on real outcomes.
Private coaching for senior leaders and C-suite executives navigating high-stakes roles. For the new leader who must succeed fast, the stretch placement that needs to level up quickly, or the key executive you are investing in to retain.
Shayla King did not enter coaching from the outside looking in. She spent her career as a Chief People Officer, M&A executive, and global leadership trainer at companies including Koch Industries (a $7B division) and Boeing. She owned talent strategy, managed difficult transitions, built leadership pipelines, and evaluated every vendor in this space before she became one.
When her career reached what should have been the peak, she survived a near-fatal medical emergency that reframed everything. She came out of it not bitter, but clearer: about what performance actually requires, about the cost of success without joy, and about what was missing from every coaching and leadership program she had ever seen.
She built Evolve Coaching on one thesis: performance and happiness are not opposites. The system that makes leaders excellent is the same system that makes them sustainable. That is not a philosophy. It is a framework, and it produces results.

Within 90 days of working with Shayla, her direct reports were reporting a measurable shift in how she operated. She went from overwhelmed to owning the room. That is the outcome we needed and could not have manufactured internally.
We included the Land the Role program in our severance package during a difficult restructuring. The feedback from departing leaders was unlike anything we had seen before. They felt respected and genuinely supported. Two of them reached back out to thank us. In a layoff. That does not happen without a program that actually works.
We have invested in women's leadership programs before. They check a box. PH+ Lab does not check a box. It actually changes how women show up, how they negotiate, how they manage up. I have two participants who were promoted within six months of the cohort. I cannot say that about any other program we have run.
What separates Shayla from every other executive coach I have evaluated is that she has held the roles she is coaching. She knows what a P&L conversation feels like, what a board presentation requires, what the cost of a bad hire means at the executive level. My executives do not need to explain context. She already has it.
Our highest-potential Director had plateaued and was starting to disengage. The 1:1 coaching investment was the right signal at the right time. She is now a VP and one of the most effective leaders on our bench. The ROI on that six-month engagement is not measurable in normal terms.
I was skeptical that a coaching program would move the needle on real business outcomes. I was wrong. Shayla does not traffic in inspiration. She works on the exact behaviors and operating patterns that limit senior leaders. The neuroscience-backed approach is something our executives respect because it is not fluffy. It is evidence-based and it works fast.
Every engagement starts with a discovery call. Tell us what you are navigating and we will tell you whether we are the right fit. No pitch, no pressure. Just an honest conversation about your talent challenge.
