Longer stories, in their words.
“Shelli has been such a great support to me, especially when I’ve had to have difficult conversations or make hard decisions with employees. She has helped me work through those situations, prepare for the conversations, and feel more confident in doing what I need to do as a leader.”
— Elissa Decker, Owner and Principal Designer of Decker Design Group
“Shelli has supported our firm by helping my team leader and me create and implement 5R Work Plans, skill stacking, and career development paths for our team. She's also held our hands as we've hired, fired, and navigated tricky situations. We've got a solid team of rock star employees who work well together, and are much more results-driven than before.”
— Autumn Witt-Boyd, Attorney & Founder of AWB Firm
“One of the most valuable pieces is that my leaders can reach out to Shelli privately when something comes up in real time. Having a trusted outside resource who understands our business, our team dynamics, and the way I lead has been incredibly valuable, not just for me, but for the development of the people helping me run the company.”
— Rose Zefferino, CEO and Principal Designer of Z. Domus Designs 
“Utilizing Shelli for 1:1 coaching for myself and the leaders in our company has been invaluable in growing as a leader and helping the team navigate the continued growth of our company. Incorporating regular sessions with my C-suite has created greater alignment and strengthened our team as a whole. Not only does Shelli provide the coaching, she often comes with tools to help our leaders implement new structures or ideas. You really cannot put a value on Shelli's 1:1 coaching!”
— Courtney Bullard, Founder and CEO of Institutional Compliance Solutions
"Working with you helped me really focus on how to build a team. I was learning, I can't be everything to everybody all day, my customers, or my employees."
— Sabrina Davis, CEO of Port City Signs and Graphics

— Jodie Sheraton, CEO of Elevated Dietetics, Myrtle Oak Clinic, and Optimum Intake Dietitians
"Your biggest tool is the 5R Work Plan. We used it to narrow down the roles that each of us had, avoiding overlap, and adding accountability.”
— Mayra Sanchez, CEO of Hope for Healing Therapy
"There’s been so many game changers this year. At the top of the list was developing 5R Work Plans and holding the team accountable to deliver on what they are getting paid to do.”
— Jenni Egger, Founder and CEO of Jenni Egger Designs
“There’s nobody that even comes close to your ability to build teams, so how could I have a year of strategically pouring into my team without Shelli?”
— Vita Vygovska, Founder and CEO of Vitalia Inc,
“Once you taught me that hiring wasn’t so hard once you had a repeatable system in place, I was no longer worried about firing.”
— Rebecca Dekker, Founder and CEO of Evidence® Based Birth
“One of my big motivations for starting to work with you, was that I really needed to go deeper into how to navigate the hiring process. You provided so many hiring tools, so we made it a very systematic process.”
— Karen Pavlidis, Founder of Child and Teen Solutions (CATS)
“Every time I come to you, I walk away with such wisdom along with your strength and kindess fortifying me. I’m so grateful for you and have so much gratitude for the guidance you provide me and my team.”

I Know What It’s Like to Be the Person Everyone Looks To
For more than two decades at Procter & Gamble, I led people, navigated complex change and built teams responsible for high-stakes, multi-million-dollar work.
That’s where I learned that leadership gets harder as the stakes get higher. You’re making decisions about performance, people, roles and relationships, while knowing those decisions affect the business and the people who depend on it.
I also learned that you can’t build something significant by being the only strong leader in the room.
My ability to surround myself with capable people became something I was known for. Peers would say, “No wonder that project is successful, look at the stacked team she has.” That eventually inspired the name of the podcast and our business: Stacking Your Team.
Today, I bring that experience to established business owners who are carrying too much of the leadership weight themselves.
I help you strengthen the people around you, make better people decisions, and build a business that doesn’t require you to have all the answers.
The Stacking Your Team Difference
Clients take action to terminate underperforming team members.
Clients reduce the meetings they attend.
Clients reduce the number of people who directly report to them.
Clients renewed their coaching program at least once.
