“Shelley’s real-world experience enhanced her ability to coach our fellow leaders when applying the Sage Coaching Approach. I wish I’d had this leadership-development training twenty years ago.”
Ian M. Fletcher
Vice President, General Manager, ITW Global Tire Repair
“It was difficult to look in the mirror and realize I was teaching
and managing well, but I was failing as a leader coach. To my great
fortune, Shelley Hammell helped me reevaluate my approach as I
entered an executive role for the first time, and the result has been
nothing short of transformational for my leadership.
“Remarkably, it also led to transformation across my entire leadership
team; as I began coaching with more thought and intention,
my direct reports performed better and began coaching the leaders
on their teams, and the chain reaction continues.
“As a bonus, the investment of initial time to coach has paid off in
the long run, as leaders have become more deliberate, thoughtful,
and self-sufficient, creating a culture where leaders and employees
alike are more courageous in their day-to-day. Instead of
spending my time teaching and making decisions for them, I’m
able to coach and spend more time on the long-term strategy for
our business, with the confidence needed to untangle myself from
the weeds in which I was comfortable.
“I only wish I’d had this approach earlier in my career, and I encourage
every leader to invest the time to learn how to REALLY
coach!”

“Having spent more than three decades within the human resources
discipline, leading people, processes, and organizational
change, I am convinced that Shelley is one of the most impactful
learning and development professionals I have ever had the pleasure
to work with. Over the past several years, I have witnessed the
positive impact Shelley has had on our organization, helping to
foster personal skill development and professional growth within
all levels of our management team.
“Through a leadership-development series that Shelley developed
to address our specific concerns and needs, our organization has
been able to begin to shift our culture and improve business outcomes.
The SAGE Coaching Approach is something our leaders
are immediately able to apply to empower and develop their
teams.
“Shelley’s techniques, tone, and style of facilitation, coupled with
a deep subject matter expertise, have inspired an almost metamorphic
change within some of our managers, supporting our
business values by creating a behavioral environment that fosters
personal accountability, ownership for outcomes, and engagement,
particularly from those who have been exposed to this reflective
development opportunity.
“I look forward to Shelley’s continued support of our business, and
our leaders, in the years to come.”

The tables spent a few minutes discussing (among themselves) what they found most valuable or memorable from the meetings. Then, they went around the room, and a spokesperson from each table shared what they’d discussed. Almost every single table mentioned you and your presentation. You made a significant impact on this group. I thought you might like to know how much the information and takeaways you shared resonated with everyone.”
