client testimonials

Rebecca Bonner Director of Pro Personnel. Orlando Magic

Working with Shauna was an incredible investment in myself. Her professional guidance and genuine care helped me overcome self-doubt after maternity leave. I went from being afraid to voice my goals to achieving a five-year vision in just one year.

Greg Wolfkamp Director, Global Operations Planning, IEC Holden

I’d spent years as a respected mid-level manager, but I’d never pushed myself beyond what felt safe. When a director role opened up, my first instinct was to retreat and let the chance slip by. Thankfully, my company paired me with an Executive Coach, and I brought the whole situation to her, hoping she could help me sort out my thinking. Shauna challenged me to look at the opportunity differently and offered a simple but powerful question: “What if this is for you—who do you get to become?” I can say without hesitation that I wouldn’t have stepped into this new role without her support. She’s incredibly easy to talk to and has a real gift for helping people create meaningful change. Don’t let pride keep you from accepting guidance — working with a coach can be truly transformative.

Gloria Nevárez Commissioner, Mountain West

I was looking for a coach who could help me craft a vision during a very tumultuous time in our industry. I had not used a professional coach previously and was introduced to Novus Global through Women Leaders in Sports. Shauna has really helped me focus on developing a vision aligned with our organization's values, but is aggressive in accounting for the dynamic needs of the industry. Having someone to bounce ideas off of and to bring a new perspective to our industry was a great way to think about our business through a different lens. I heard from others who had used Novus Global and were very pleased with the results. I learned it's what you make of it, and I have been very pleased with the work.
