The work of today leads to lasting impact forever.

  • "Shar's one-on-one coaching has been transformative for my leadership development. In just under 8 months, she's not only helped me identify and overcome personal barriers but has also significantly enhanced my visibility and effectiveness as a leader. Her guidance has been instrumental in unlocking my true potential. I wholeheartedly endorse Shar's coaching services to anyone striving to advance their career."

    — Sue O’Reilly, CEO of The Positive Point

  • "Shar is an incredible coach. I remember my first meeting with her and how beautifully she held the space for me as I was entering into something new, a 6 month coaching experience. Standing on the other side of it, I am still in awe of the way Shar held space for me at each coaching session- listening, supporting, cheering me on, challenging me, offering tools for growth, holding me accountable. Today, I see a shift in confidence within myself, a shift that I didn't even know was needed. I'm walking away with more confidence and also walking away with tools, practices, and really tactical ways for me to continue this work & lead/manage others well. Thank you, Shar, for helping me bring out the fire within. I am ready & excited for what's ahead!"

    — Abigail Verkaik, Head of Marketing at AG Collaborative

  • "Working with Shar has been an absolute game-changer for me and my team. Her unique approach to leadership development is unparalleled, blending expertise with a genuine passion for empowering individuals. From our very first session, I was immediately struck by her insightful guidance and deep understanding of leadership principles. What truly sets her apart is her unwavering dedication to fostering not just good leaders, but exceptional ones and this has had a profound impact on my leadership style and overall approach. The transformation in my leadership skills and the positive shift in our team's dynamics have been remarkable since partnering with ACCESS+ Leaders. Not only has my ability to navigate complex situations improved but also I now feel empowered to inspire and motivate others effectively.”

    — Sam B., VP Engineering

  • "At times I felt anxious given the high expectations in my new role. Shar took me through a few experiential exercises that helped me discover why I was feeling and performing that way; through these sessions we discovered my values and the ways to honour to them which helped in relieving this discomfort. One of the most effective sessions we had was finding my leader within; this concept was foreign yet I found it to be so powerful that to this day I go back to it when I am faced with a conflict. Her approach on guiding me and presenting information is effective because she will push you to think outside the box, get granular and ultimately help you see the source of the problem that is preventing you from moving forward. I find that I am more aware of my thoughts, feeling, surroundings and most important in the way I operate and so when there is negative thoughts or uncomfortable situations in the workplace (or in my personal life), I know how to combat them. I highly recommend Shar as a coach and as a mentor."

    — Carolina A, Small Business Owner

  • "As a result of working with Shar, I'm walking away with more honesty with myself, a better belief of my own self worth and ability to do things. I have a good idea of what I need in a work situation and what my non-negotiables are. I have confidence in pathways I can carve for myself in the future. I have a stronger idea and sense of myself and can be firm in what I believe and what I decide is best for me and my family. Working with Shar has been valuable as I have grown my confidence in making decisions for myself. I am also growing in my self-love by embracing my inner child and my future older self. I've learned that I am strong and can go through tough things and be OK. I can't control everything but I can control my responses and reactions. I've learned I can be happy now in my life and how to quiet some of the judges that live inside my head. The journey is just as important if not more important than the end result or goal. I might as well enjoy myself on that journey! I'm looking forward to doubling down on some of the things that bring me joy and clarity in my life and working on letting some harder things go, plus finding the gifts. "

    — May Losloso, Director at Children’s Defence Fund

  • "Working with Shar has been an incredible experience. On top of being just an all around kind, warm and wise human, she is an amazing coach. She has helped me really step into my leadership by honing in on my personal mission statement, helping me see things from different perspectives, and helping me recognize the light and gifts within me. She really knows how to hold a safe space and is a great listener so she easily picks up on the language I use and reflects it back allowing me to see the unconscious beliefs that I’m still hanging on to. Earlier this year I had an opportunity to speak at an International Women’s Day event and she was able to give me invaluable feedback and pointers on my talk to help me make my intention and my message clear and show up from a place of confidence. She has been a pleasure to work with and I’m so grateful for her support in my journey!"

    — Nicki B., Small Business Owner

  • "Shar and I met under a different banner, in a mutual course. I was struck by her joyful, contagious energy. It was so galvanizing that months later, I sought her out as a coach. I came to Shar to grow my ability to lead at work toward a specific goal. It took no time to see that this vision was too narrow. The value of exploring and shaping my leadership capabilities was far reaching. It enriched my sense of purpose and direction. Self confidence and resolve. Trust-building and communication at work and at home. Our inner leader grows with focus, commitment, and practice, practice, practice. Shar's energy and approach are a magical force to get going. Everyone needs a coach - someone who brings out the best in us. You'd be in good hands with Shar."

    — Laura Henderson, Marketing Specialist at Ecosystem

  • "Shar’s guidance has been a game-changer for me, especially when facing a recent major team restructuring. Her insights helped me lead with clarity and confidence, keeping morale high and productivity steady. Thanks to the work we've done, I now inspire my team more effectively than ever. With a ton more confidence everyday."

    — Andrew L, VP at Fin Tech organization

  • "Working with Shar gave me the tools to handle high-stakes client negotiations with ease. Her approach transformed my confidence and leadership style, which in turn empowered my team to exceed our quarterly targets. I wish I had training like this when I first started out because I felt like I was making things up a lot as I went through things. Being intentional and activating with a coach has been a massive hit in my corporate career. Highly recommend Shar!"

    — Jess L, Director of Sales

  • "It became clear to me very quickly that Shar has a lot of passion for creating an environment where I can bring my whole self and build towards what I want that to be. I found the time we spent together to be incredibly valuable from digging deep to uncover personal bias’ around my career progression and what it would take to overcome them. In one of my favourite sessions led by Shar, I felt so uplifted after this session and even brought my notes with me to work the next day as a reminder that I am going in the right direction. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with a dedicated and intentional coach like Shar."

Eric Martin, Founder of Adaptive Change Advisors

“Shar epitomizes adaptive leadership with a visionary approach to organizational transformation. She sparks profound reflection on the transformative power of effective leadership, blending strategic insight with a sincere dedication to cultivating talent and fostering collaboration. Shar is a true catalyst for adaptive change in the business world.”

Russell Handelman, COO at Staff Relief Health Care Services

“Leadership is one of those things that you know what it means, but you don’t actually know what it really feels like until your thrown in front of the right leader. I knew I'd always want to help others accomplish their goals or even teach people how to get to the finish line they set out for themselves. It was only after I met Shar, that I began to understand the kind of work, dedication and approaches needed to become this kind of leader. Today I am privileged to be able to manage a team that both learns from me and teaches me every single day. Shar taught me that we are only as good as those we have around us. I have grown to be a leader that values what he learns from his peers often more than what I can bring to them. It's this mindset that has really empowered the team to excel and push ahead to be the best versions of themselves.”

“Shar is an exceptional leader who knows how to lead by example she is always a bright energy in a room but a powerful woman who is able to not only teach and instill leadership abilities in others but do so with a kind caring touch.”

Chris Poletek, VP of Partnerships and Operations

“The most enjoyable parts of our work together was experiencing the positive energy, trust, encouragement and inspiration. One of the most memorable outcomes of our work together included generating more focus, engagement and better outcomes from my team.”

Virginia Crabbé, Sales Leader @ Distributel

“Shar you're the best. Every time you came into a meeting the whole energy changed, in such a positive, fun way. You have all the qualities I would look for in a true leader. Definitely one of the best leaders I've had the pleasure of working with.”

Ray Cronin, Talent Acquistion @ Lillio

“I've always known myself to be a leader having been identified as such from my early years from others...but your presence at that point in my life has propelled me to the next phase of my leadership journey where in my career I have become: more confident; more outspoken; more pragmatic in my thinking; firmer in my convictions; unafraid to ask for help more often etc - the intangibles that transfer outside just work and into the overall persona.”

Shannon Adams, Growth Manager @ Fable

Christine Chua, Leader @ Service Canada

“Your most memorable achievement or success during our time together? Surviving consecutive months of super early morning training sessions with the team. What we would achieve in one hour with the group is comparatively what others would give in energy throughout a whole day. The team productivity grew with the training. We literally gave them the tools to run with and use. The wins felt more exciting when the theory was proven in practice. You had a way of stirring up a contagious productive energy with those around you. Seeing and feeling the electricity was incredible to watch happen with my own eyes. It was never a day here or there. It was literally consistent the whole time.”
