Shelby McGuire Canlas
I've always had a knack for getting inside people's heads (in the best possible way, of course). With a background in sociology, psychology, and all things human resources, I've got a toolbox that's as robust as it gets when it comes to helping both creative and corporate professionals set and smash their goals.
I'm the secret weapon you didn't know you needed. I blend my expertise in asking the tough questions and understanding human psychology with an unapologetic love for seeing people succeed. We’re not just changing your habits; we're rewiring your brain for greatness.
Think of me as your personal mental strength coach because, let's face it, the mind is where all the magic happens.
You are a one-of-a-kind individual with needs as unique as your fingerprint. And guess what? It's not just my job; it's my absolute pleasure to help you tap into that potential you've had simmering under the surface all this time.
So, welcome aboard! I'm thrilled you're here, and I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and support you on your epic journey. Let's make some magic happen…shall we?!

JORDANA | FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT
“Shelby doesn't just help you unlock doors. The way she coaches also instills motivation to take steps forward.”
Shelby is a success coach with the incredible gift of knowing when to ask the right question, when to support, and when to compassionately challenge to help me get out of my own way. Shelby's questions regularly stop me in my tracks and create new ways of thinking and looking at things. And, she knows when I need a push and when I need a cradle, sometimes even before I know it.
VIVIANA | DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A little yes, but mostly no. In both relationships, confidentiality is key as is the desire to equip you with tools you can use in real time to increase confidence, improve communication and become stronger is countless other ways. One of the biggest differences is that therapy often spends time looking at the past, whereas coaching focuses forward. We will talk about the challenges you are having now and build pathways through them.
-
All of your sessions are conducted via on line video platforms. Hooray for technology!
-
That will vary depending on the focus of your coaching. If you are preparing for interviews, you will probably meet 3-4 times over the course of a month. Whereas if you are looking to grow as a leader, you will probably want to engage your coach bi-weekly for 6 months or longer.
-
There are a few things to consider here including budget, preference around in-person vs. virtual, areas of expertise, certifications and whether or not my availability aligns with yours. Maybe most important is determining if I am a good personality fit. It’s common for coaches to offer a complimentary call before you decide. Take advantage of it and have your questions on hand.
-
The sessions are typically 50 minutes and we will start by catching up and discussing any homework you’ve completed since our last meeting. From there we will focus on whatever is most pressing for you that day, always keeping an eye on the goals you set out at the beginning of our relationship.
-
Absolutely. Anything we discuss in the coaching session stays there. The only information that may be provided to the sponsor organization would be session attendance and high level, generalized topics that have been approved for sharing by the participant. This expectation will be provided in writing at the beginning of the engagement and also discussed in the initial meeting between the coach, sponsor and participants.
