Meet Sharon Bone

My journey to becoming an executive coach began with my own experience navigating the complex relationship between professional success and personal fulfillment.


With a background in teaching, curriculum development, and corporate leadership, I've always been fascinated by how we develop ourselves and connect with others. Through personal challenges including family health difficulties and navigating divorce, I discovered firsthand how emotional intelligence and self-leadership become critical during life's transitions.

These experiences shaped my approach to coaching successful professionals who find themselves achieving external success while struggling with internal fulfillment. I noticed a pattern, particularly among male professionals: the higher they climbed professionally, the more disconnected they often became from themselves and their loved ones.

This observation became the foundation for my specialized approach to executive coaching.

My Coaching Philosophy

Solution-based thinking over problem-focus

I believe in acknowledging challenges while keeping our primary focus on creating solutions and opportunities.

Flow over rigid structure

While structure provides necessary support, true growth happens when we learn to move with life's natural rhythms rather than constantly fighting against them.

Long-term sustainable growth over quick fixes

Real transformation isn't about quick motivation that fades; it's about developing sustainable patterns that create lasting change.

Balance between stability and growth

Growth requires pushing boundaries, but we need stability to integrate new learning. I help clients find this critical balance.

Service-oriented leadership

The most impactful leaders focus on how they can serve others while maintaining healthy boundaries.

Building authentic connections

Success feels empty without genuine relationships. I help clients build meaningful connections in all areas of life.

My coaching work focuses on several interconnected areas of development:

  • Self-leadership & Emotional Integrity Converting challenges into growth opportunities. Moving past victim mentality to solution-focused thinking. Building self-acceptance and authentic self-expression. Helping people "dream" and find joy in what they do.

  • Emotional Intelligence Developing emotional integrity, especially in men. Creating safe spaces for vulnerability. Teaching tactical empathy. Balancing masculine and feminine leadership qualities.

  • Relationship Building Fostering healthy relationships both personal and professional. Teaching transparent communication. Building trust and accountability. Developing healthy boundaries while maintaining connections.
