Shirley l.a. Brooks
Helping women in business and leadership reclaim their confidence, align their success with their values, and build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
I’m Shirley, a coach and strategist who helps women lead and live with clarity, confidence, and purpose. After more than 20 years in corporate leadership — and building a thriving life with my husband and son — I know what it’s like to look accomplished on the outside while feeling stuck or unfulfilled on the inside.
In my own journey, I reached a turning point where career success alone wasn’t enough. The constant grind left me emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually drained, and I realized the real barriers weren’t external — they were my own fears, insecurities, and the grip of impostor syndrome.
Today, my greatest joy comes from helping women bypass the detours I took. I guide women in business and leadership to reclaim their power with intention, align their goals with their values, and design lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. My goal is simple: to help you create a life that is not only accomplished, but deeply fulfilling, soulful, and truly yours.
