Transition Coaching for Individuals and Organizations

Picture
Are you tired of simply reading books, attending trainings, or watching videos about making changes in your life or career and want to start doing the real work of closing the gap between where you are today and where you want to be? 

​Coaching is is about partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential (International Coach Federation).

Listen to Your Life Coaching (L2YL) takes an inside-out approach to navigating personal and professional transition to help you clarify deeply held values, set intentions, design an action plan, take consistent steps forward, and overcome obstacles to live an increasingly fulfilling, abundant life.

I partner with you or your organization to work not only on behaviors but most importantly on Mindset and Beliefs, which makes all the difference between short-term change and long-term transformation. I leverage science and ancient teachings to act as a catalyst to drive personal and organizational growth by working at the very root of transformation to achieve extraordinary results.

Create a life and career you love.
​It's time.

Over the past 20+ years, I have transformed my life and rebuilt my career, incorporating what I've learned and practiced into a unique, proven, science-backed, step-by-step model.

I’ve maintained sobriety for 22yrs, transitioned to plant-based eating, lost weight, paid off all credit card debt, moved back and forth across the country on my own, went skydiving, married the love of my life, and started my own successful business...I understand the challenges and I know what works.

And for the past 10yrs, this model has helped hundreds of people including me navigate transitions and improve the quality of their lives by making lasting positive changes, live more aligned with their true values, and experience greater confidence, fulfillment and resilience.

How can Professional Coaching support you?

Picture
My I.AM Model integrates teachings, strategies, tools, and accountability, all structured to help you manage transitions, develop personal leadership skills, set highly focused goals, reach goals faster, make better decisions, live and work more mindfully, develop clarity and confidence, and enhance communication and relationships. 

Start right where you are. It's possible - right now.  All you need is clarity, commitment, a strategy, and implementation support to get you there, one step at a time. 
​
  • ​What is the I.AM Model?

1. ​INTENTION

What does a fulfilling life and career look like to you? Setting Intentions is like setting the GPS for your life based on your strengths, passions, values, skills, aspirations, experiences, and personality.

​In what direction are you pointing your life and are you just on autopilot?

2. ​ALIGNMENT

With clear Intentions, Inner Alignment is about shifting your mindset to deconstruct old ways of thinking and being that no longer serve you or anyone else, while cultivating more empowering ways of interpreting your experiences.

​Outer Alignment is all about identifying specific goals and cultivating consistent habits that support those Intentions.

3. ​MINDFULNESS

Be present to your life as it unfolds in order to enjoy and adjust as insight and wisdom grows.​ Recognize the choice points.

​Research shows that mindfulness practice leads to more flexibility, improved concentration, mental clarity, emotional intelligence and the ability to relate to others and one's self with kindness, acceptance and compassion. Essential part of the process.

4. ACCOUNTABILITY

Creating an ecosystem of accountability promotes self-discipline.

​Allowing yourself to be held accountable supports you in maintaining consistent habits and helps you reinforce thought patterns that support your Alignment with Intentions.

5. ​COMMUNITY

Community provides invaluable support as you navigate the daily stress, struggles, joys, and chaos of modern life.

​Belonging is primal, fundamental to our well-being which is why I started the L2YL Meetup group in 2009, now over 3500 members strong.

PRIVATE COACHING

As your Coach I partner with you to create the results you want, challenge and motivate you to retire dis-empowering ways of being to take action toward your goals, provide feedback, support and accountability, and help you overcome habitual barriers and self-limiting beliefs.

Each group member will have their own goals, and the overarching theme for each group will be transforming mindsets to achieve them. The group sessions will include a check in, 1:1 coaching to work through challenges and generate ideas, and commitments to the group for accountability.

For any one considering this- I am a 2x alum ...Sharon's groups  get you focused and MOVING on your life and goals instead of another year of jabber! I am MIA in the Saturday L2YL groups because of my own focus that she lit under me a couple of years ago!...totally worth the investment!​

Sharon Shelton is simply amazing.  She is sincere, warm and caring and most importantly, knowledgeable.  I joined IIA Coaching group to gain clarity of purpose and strategy design.  Four weeks into the program I developed clarity of purpose and a new boldness that I never knew I possessed.  Heartfelt thank you to Sharon for helping me turn my insight into action.​

National Author and Speaker

At the time I signed up for coaching with Sharon, I felt swamped by the challenge of figuring out what my next life steps are.  Through Sharon's insightful guidance, she has helped me focus on the right questions that have enabled me to see and embrace my true goals and desires.  The group approach provided me the opportunity to gain perspectives from a broad spectrum of people.  Learning from others, while learning from myself.  Sharon gets you there!​

"I cannot tell you how much I have loved and learned by participating in the L2YL group coaching program! Sharon really gets down to the heart of every subject and made me look deep inside of myself. 

I was struggling to acquire new clients for my business and wanted to step out of my comfort zone and go for it!  All of the topics we worked on, including fear, core values, overwhelm, beliefs, habits, etc., are helping me look at things in a different, more positive light.  I am using what I've learned in the program to acquire new clients and I also have a healthier, happier life."
