Background

About Joan Shields

I partner with clients to develop teams, shape culture, and transform organizations. Bringing more than 25 years of experience in the corporate and nonprofit sectors, I help you navigate complexity and thrive amid change. I skillfully combine my design and facilitation expertise with a pragmatic coaching style to build trust, understand deeply, and develop original solutions to chart a path forward. As a highly valued coach and trusted advisor, I have coached all levels of leaders, including CEO’s, C-Suite, senior executive and cross-functional project teams. My depth of sector expertise includes supporting Fortune 50, large multinational companies, healthcare systems, non-profit organizations, local governments and small family run companies. My coaching practice supports the development of executives and leaders of all levels by uncovering and leveraging their strengths, clarifying insights and supporting their ability to be resilient under pressure. Together, we create the conditions so that they are able to become more effective in how they lead, drive results and most importantly achieve their goals. Rooted in the belief that community service is a powerful practice field for leadership development, I have a long history of board development and service.
