SHARON POPE
Leadership & Executive Coach
Helping Founders and Senior Leaders Lead with Courage, Communicate with Clarity,
and Strengthen Their Organizations
Who I Work With
I coach founders, CEOs, and senior leaders inside small and mid-sized, founder-led companies who want to grow — but know their next level requires stronger leadership, better communication, and clearer decision-making.
My clients are committed, emotionally intelligent, and ready to grow. They want to lead with confidence and clarity — and they want their companies to rise with them.
The Challenges My Clients Are Facing
Communication is breaking down between founders, leadership team members, or departments
High-growth demands are exposing gaps in leadership confidence, clarity, or emotional regulation
Key hires feel misaligned, underdeveloped, or unsupported
Founders feel isolated in decision-making or stuck in cycles of overthinking
Teams are hard-working but not truly aligned
Difficult conversations aren’t happening — or they’re happening poorly
The organization needs a stronger, more grounded leadership presence at the top
Underneath these challenges is one truth:
When a leader grows, everything else grows around them.
My Approach
Leadership isn’t just about strategy — it’s about the human side of leading: emotional intelligence, clarity, courage, the ability to communicate clearly, and the capacity to navigate tension without creating more of it.
My coaching blends:
Leadership Strategy
Clear priorities, confident decision-making, stronger executive presence, and the ability to lead through complexity rather than react to it.
Emotional Intelligence Development
Regulation, self-awareness, communication, boundaries, and the ability to move through high-stakes situations with steadiness.
Communication & Relationship Mastery
After coaching thousands of people through high-stakes relational dynamics for more than a decade, I bring a unique lens to leadership communication: how to navigate conflict, deliver hard messages, create psychological safety, and build trust intentionally.
This integrated approach helps leaders rise with courage and lead with clarity
— without compromising who they are.

Here's What No One Tells You About Menopause and Marriage
The silence around this topic is deafening. We talk about hot flashes and night sweats, but nobody prepared you for this:
73% of women going through menopause blame it for the breakdown of their marriage.
Over 60% of divorces are initiated by women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s—the menopause years.
70% of women in perimenopause report rage and irritability as their #1 mood complaint—and guess who usually gets the brunt of it?
Yet most women suffer in silence, thinking they're the only ones whose marriage feels like it's hanging by a thread during this phase of life.
You can't Google "I hate my husband during menopause" without feeling like a terrible person. Your girlfriends are posting happy anniversary photos while you're wondering if everyone else got a manual for this stage of life that you somehow missed.
Next Step
If you’re a founder or senior leader looking to strengthen the way you lead — yourself, your team, and your company — let’s explore whether we’d be a good fit to work together.
