Neuroscience-based coaching and corporate programs for leaders who want more than wellness — for themselves, and for the teams they lead.


You know the pattern. The calendar is full, the team is working hard, and still something's off. Energy dips by Wednesday. Difficult conversations get postponed. The wins don't land the way they used to. You've tried the apps, the retreats, the productivity systems. They helped for a week.
What if the missing piece isn't another tool, but a different relationship with happiness itself?
The work I do isn't built on intuition. It rests on three decades of research from positive psychology, neuroscience, and organizational behavior — research that tells a consistent story about what happiness does inside a person and inside a team.
13% greater productivity in happy workers

Happiness isn't the reward for success. It's the engine of it.
* The research was conducted in the contact centres of British telecoms firm BT over a six-month period by Jan-Emmanuel De Neve (Saïd Business School, University of Oxford) George Ward (MIT) and Clement Bellet (Erasmus University Rotterdam). "We found that when workers are happier, they work faster by making more calls per hour worked and, importantly, convert more calls to sales," said Professor De Neve.
A 2015 study from the University of Warwick found a similar correlation between employee happiness and employee productivity.

"I joined Sheli's program, which was massively transformative for my life and how I approached business design in a way more conscious and mindful manner. Through our calls and the different tool kits, I was able to put all of these insights into action. Each day and each week, I got to see how the business that I was creating at the time was evolving and transforming and how I was able to lead with much more ease and grace, and it felt like things started to become effortless.
I no longer needed to push anymore. But I could actually just listen and allow what wants to unfold while still holding a clear vision. And so I am tremendously grateful for this program and the guidance that Sheli offered. She is an incredible, incredible guide and support, and I highly recommend working with her."
Most wellbeing work treats happiness as a feeling to manage. I treat it as a skill to build — drawing on Harvard's Happiness in Leadership methodology, certified neuroscience coaching, and the operational reality of having run companies myself. The combination matters: science gives the work its rigour, and the leadership background means I can speak the language of the people actually doing it.
The brain is shaped by what it repeatedly does. The practices I teach are designed to strengthen the neural pathways involved in resilience, positive outlook, and emotional regulation — and to weaken the patterns of rumination and reactivity that get reinforced by default. Over time, the experience shifts from managing your state to occupying a different one.
The research underpinning this work points to consistent outcomes: stronger relationships, greater resilience, and more effective stress management for individuals, and measurable organizational shifts including up to 13% higher productivity¹ and 21% greater profitability in engaged teams². The methodology is built on three decades of evidence from positive psychology and neuroscience, which is what allows the work to deliver change that holds rather than fades. What you can expect is a structured path toward those outcomes — not a guarantee of them, because the results depend on the engagement you bring to the practice.
Wellness programs tend to address symptoms — stress, burnout, low engagement — through perks and one-off interventions. Corporate happiness training addresses the drivers underneath: the psychological safety, meaning, alignment, and resilience that determine whether a team can actually sustain high performance. The result is cultural change rather than temporary relief, which is what most organizations are quietly hoping wellness will deliver.
Thirty years in senior corporate roles means I understand the environments my clients are operating in — the pressures, the trade-offs, and the political realities that wellbeing programs often ignore. I translate happiness research into language and practice that hold up inside real workplaces, which is the gap this work is built to fill for leaders who've found other approaches too soft for their context."
Measurement runs through the work rather than sitting at the end of it. For individuals, I use validated wellbeing assessments at the start, midpoint, and close of an engagement, alongside the qualitative shifts that surface week to week. For organizations, we agree upfront on the metrics that matter — engagement scores, retention, team effectiveness — and benchmark against them, so the impact shows up in the language the business already uses.
I take skepticism as a starting point, not an obstacle. The evidence base is robust, the business case is quantifiable, and I present the work as a strategic performance lever — not a feel-good extra. Skepticism tends to soften once leaders see the research and try the practices in their own week.
Individual coaching typically runs as a structured engagement of eight to twelve sessions over three to four months, combining one-to-one work with practices you integrate between sessions."
. Corporate programs are scoped to the organization — from half-day leadership sessions to multi-month team engagements — and always begin with a conversation to understand what you're actually trying to shift. In both cases, the work is designed to produce changes that outlast the engagement itself.

Whether you're seeking personal clarity or building a happier team, the next step is the same: a conversation. Fifteen minutes, no pressure, no pitch. Just a chance to see if we're the right fit to work together.
