The work is different depending on where you sit. The starting point is always the same.

FOR LEADERS
Take the EQ Assessment first →
Most leaders reach a point where the skills that got them here stop being enough. The higher you go, the more everything depends on how you show up with people — how you listen, how you handle pressure, how you build trust, how you have the conversations that need to happen.
1:1 coaching with Shy Lion Co. is built around that gap. We start with a validated EQ assessment and a deep debrief — not to label you, but to give you a clear, honest picture of where you are and where the highest-leverage opportunities for growth exist. Then we work.
Three, six, or twelve-month engagements. Every session is real — grounded in what’s happening in your leadership right now, not a curriculum you move through on a schedule.
What’s included
EQ Assessment & Debrief — TalentSmart validated assessment with a full one-on-one debrief to establish your baseline and growth priorities.
Three Coaching Sessions Per Month — Focused, structured, and built around your real challenges. Not a check-in. A working session.
Between-Session Support — Direct access for the moments that don’t wait for the next appointment. A difficult conversation coming up. A team situation that needs thinking through.
Custom Action Plan — A tailored roadmap built from your assessment and goals. Specific, measurable, and revisited throughout the engagement
Who this is for
Newly promoted leaders navigating the shift from individual contributor to manager. Senior leaders who’ve plateaued and know why. Founders scaling a team past the point where personal relationships can carry everything. High-potential professionals who want to get ahead of the gap before it becomes a problem.
This is for the leader who knows something needs to change.

Your team has the talent. This gives them the tools to use it together.
High-performing teams don’t struggle because of a lack of skill. They struggle because of trust gaps, communication breakdowns, and the unspoken dynamics that nobody talks about in the meeting but everybody feels on the way out.
Shy Lion Co.’s team workshops are built to surface those dynamics and give your people practical tools to work through them — not in theory, but in the room, in real time.
Every workshop is tailored to your team’s specific context. We don’t deliver a standard curriculum and call it a day. We learn your team, your challenges, and your goals before we walk in the door — so the day is built around what actually matters to your people.
Format options
Half-Day Workshop — A focused session for teams that need a high-impact entry point. Ideal for leadership off-sites, team retreats, or standalone development days.
Full-Day Workshop — The complete experience. More time for real conversation, deeper exercises, and individual reflection.
On-site or virtually facilitated — We come to you, or we meet your team where they are.
What every session includes
TalentSmart EQ Appraisal — Self or 360-degree assessment so every person arrives with real data about themselves, not just good intentions.
Facilitated workshop — Equal parts teaching, conversation, and application. Nobody sits through a lecture.
Individual action plans — Every participant leaves with specific, personal next steps — not just team takeaways.
Optional follow-on coaching — For organizations that want to extend the impact beyond the workshop day.
Who this is for
HR directors and People leaders looking for a workshop that actually sticks. L&D teams building out a leadership development curriculum. Founders and executives who want to invest in their leadership team’s collective EQ. Organizations navigating change, growth, or team dynamics challenges.

No mystery. No pressure. Here’s exactly what happens.
THE PROCESS
Discovery call — 30 minutes
We talk about where you are, what you’re navigating, and what you’re hoping for. You ask the questions you need answered. We figure out together whether this is the right fit.
Scoping & proposal
If it makes sense to move forward, we put together a specific proposal — the right engagement format, timeline, and scope for your situation. No generic packages, no upselling.
The work begins
Assessment, debrief, and then the real work. Every engagement starts with clarity and moves toward measurable change.
Ongoing partnership
We don’t disappear between sessions. This is a real working relationship — and the best results come from treating it like one.

This work is for leaders who are ready to look inward.
Shy Lion Co. works with a limited number of clients and organizations at any given time. Not because of capacity — because the work requires genuine commitment on both sides, and we’d rather do it right with fewer people than do it adequately with many.
If you’re ready to move, we’re ready to talk.
