Get to Know Shadi

Life Coach
The complex world we live in today has presented monumental challenges for young women to navigate across the globe. Growing up, I have faced and overcome many of these challenges. I am a minority woman, mother, chronic illness warrior, corporate executive leader, holistic health and wellness expert, and change/transformation expert. I help aspirational young women learn and master essential life skills to help navigate complexities, reclaim their power, and become the best version of themselves. I believe there are essential life skills that we are never taught in school (or possibly even at home) that every woman should learn. These skills are not only essential to our survival, but they are essential to our quality of life.
 
If you are sick of being told what to do, overwhelmed with the amount of information out there, feel lost or confused about your wellbeing, or are unsure of where or who to turn to next in your personal growth journey, then I am here to help you. Prioritizing yourself should always be your top priority, and I am here to partner with you to identify strategies, techniques, and opportunities for you to simplify how you can realistically accomplish this. I am here to challenge you, help you think for yourself, and guide you through this journey of self-improvement.
 
As your coach, I take a holistic approach to understand where you currently are, where you would like to be, and how you can bridge those gaps to accomplish your goals. I take a direct, realistic, and action-oriented approach so you can put your mind at ease knowing that growth is a continuous journey you will always have my support on.

My Professional Background

I studied Sociology and Psychology & Social Behavior as part of my undergraduate degree at UC Irvine. I got my first corporate job after that at a small start-up, where I was immediately thrown into the fire working directly with the founders to grow and scale the company. After 5 years of working and learning more than I could ever imagine, I decided to advance my education and went to NYU to obtain my Masters Degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology while I continued to work full time. Understanding and learning all that I can about human behavior, human health, and how to optimize how we operate in the complex world we live in today has always been a big passion of mine. The people of an organization will always be the most important part of any company, and my mission became to prioritize the people, creating the best environments for growth, development, and positive change.
 
After NYU, I worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as a Senior Management Consultant in their People & Org practice. My work was focused on leveraging my expertise in Psychology, Human Behavior, Motivation and Engagement, Learning, and more to help large global corporations develop and execute people-centric initiatives across their organizations. I coached and advised senior leaders in some of the biggest organizations in the world to help them manage transformation effectively. After PwC, I landed a Leadership role at ADP where I managed the highest performing teams and the largest client accounts. Internally, I also built and scaled all Talent and Change Management practices within the organization. Being a lifelong learner, I decided to obtain a Coaching certification in 2023 to further advance my skillset. I am always looking for opportunities to grow.
 
I am now reaching new goals by starting my own coaching business to help as many women as I can on their own personal growth and change journey. Helping people become the best and most powerful version of themselves has always been my biggest passion, both in my professional career, as well as my personal life. This has become my primary purpose and greatest joy.
