Shea Adelson works with individuals and teams to build leadership skills, collaboration, and results through individual and team coaching, and organization-wide programs focused on scaling leadership principles. Leveraging a career in research and analysis, she offers evidence-based insights to her clients in a range of industries, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, finance, technology, professional services, architecture, higher education and nonprofits. Shea provides coaching, trusted advising, facilitation and training, leading courses in effective communication, strategic thinking, conflict resolution and executive presence among other key leadership and management topics with depth and skill from two decades of experience.

During posts at several boutique-consulting firms in start-up phases, including Mobius Executive Leadership and Seven Stones Leadership, Shea created client services and offerings from the ground up, from large virtual courses to change management initiatives. Coaching, with a triune focus on building capacity in self-awareness, communication skills and relational effectiveness, has always been at the core. Earlier, from close to a decade at Fuld & Company, a global competitive intelligence firm, and later with Kelly Services’ Strategic Insights group, she led and conducted research and analysis to support and direct executive level initiatives and go-to-market strategies.

Shea integrates her training in somatic education and mindfulness practices with her passion for data and science into her coaching philosophy, bringing to her clients the tools and techniques from the latest research in neuroscience and the best of the wisdom traditions as it relates to sustainable leadership and team development. Always learning and refining, Shea has cultivated a holistic, interdisciplinary and customized approach to her practice to support clients create clarity, purpose and results.

​Shea lives in the Greater Boston Area with her husband and two daughters, their dog and chickens. She is restored by nature, reading, meditation and her husband’s cooking, and finds her greatest joy in watching her children grow up.
