"Shayla's Guide gave me so much clarity around what to prioritize on a daily basis. I have never felt this calm and clear before."
I climbed from waitress to the C suite.
I built a big career and a big life.
And I did it without grinding myself into dust again.
Now I coach ambitious corporate leaders who want both.
More money. More time. More peace. More presence. More you in your life.
These testimonials are from leaders who decided they were done surviving the calendar,
done waiting on permission, and done choosing between success and happiness.
They worked differently. They thought differently. And their lives expanded.
More performance and more happiness.
Work and life.
Impact and freedom.
No trade offs.
Welcome to the 5 percent club energy.
You are in the right place.
Real Leaders. Real Results. Real joy.

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 the PH+ formula and it taught me 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.

“I want to cry when I think about how much my life has improved since working with Shayla."
I used to dream about work - I never shut my brain off. Now I dream about my life.
Everything improved: How I think, lead, and live. I’m calmer, happier, and more productive than I’ve ever been. I landed an extraordinary executive role and now I work less, worry less, and perform higher than I ever have.
The biggest change is my personal life. I now have one. It's full, fun, and I'm trying new things for the first time. I want to cry when I think about how much my life has improved since working with Shayla. I tell everyone to work with Shayla.

Shayla taught me how to manage my energy, not just my calendar.
I thought burnout was just part of the job. Working with Shayla and learning the Performance + Happiness formula changed everything. She taught me how to manage my energy, not just my calendar. I learned to say no with confidence, set better boundaries with my boss, and take back control of my time. I finally feel like I’m leading my life instead of reacting to it.
Dr. Ana Urukalo
CEO + Board Certified Surgeon
I am now a confident and decisive CEO from working with Shayla. Everything is just easier.
I met Shayla at the exact right time in my life. I was in a partnership that wasn't working, stressed out, and looking for a way out. Over the past 10 months, she has guided me through one of the scariest transitions of my career - leaving that situation and launching my own solo practice. Her coaching changed my entire trajectory. Today, I'm running my practice with confidence. And the growth she's helped me achieve is clear. Not just to me, but to my colleagues, staff, and family.

“Working with Shayla completely changed how I showed up in a critical conversation with my manager. She prepared me for exactly what would be asked, helped me clearly articulate the role I want, and positioned me for real outcomes. The conversation went incredibly well. Leadership outlined multiple paths forward, reviewed my compensation since I hadn’t received an increase, and I received a spot bonus the same day. Shayla’s guidance made all the difference. She is an exceptional coach and a true cheerleader in your corner.”

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!

What Students are saying...
Shayla breaks things down into the simplest concepts. I was able to change a few thoughts and actions that immediately gave me relief and let me take back control of my life.
My recommendation for all working moms is to buy it and buy it now.
As she promises, you can end the overwhelm.
Who I work with
I coach corporate leaders
mostly powerhouse women and a few good men
who are responsible for big results at work and want more from life… but feel stretched too thin to go after it.
They come from companies like:
Koch Industries, McKesson, Ernst & Young, NetApp, Molex, Spirit AeroSystems, Georgia-Pacific, Kaiser, Wayfair, and non-profits and start-ups.
And they work in industries like:
Manufacturing, Healthcare, Aerospace, Agriculture, Technology, Consulting, Consumer goods, and of course AI and data centers.
Their roles span operations, HR, finance, strategy, supply chain, IT, marketing, and clinical leadership. They run strategic initiatives, lead global teams, and deliver under intense pressure—all while raising kids, managing households, and asking themselves:
Is it possible to be ambitious, be a great parent, and actually enjoy your life?
The pace. The pressure. The proving. It’s exhausting.
And they’re ready for a different way.
These are the people I coach.
Not because they’re broken—
But because they’re bold enough to want it all:
Success and happiness. Career and life.
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.
