the success of your team starts with you

Transform your leadership

Team success requires alignment, powerful communication, and focus. The most effective leaders understand how to connect with, empower and nurture their teams, and how to drive outcomes. Shine+ works with tech and startup leaders and their teams to lay the foundations for success by decreasing drama, increasing connection, and bringing more fun and focus to the workplace.

Workshops

We offer experiential workshops focused on motivating and shifting participants’ relationships with work. Our powerful leadership frameworks and concepts help team members to take responsibility, focus on what’s most important, and achieve outcomes without the usual drama that pervades organizations.

What our clients say

I’ve been reflecting on 2022 and your work with our team was a major highlight. I was really stuck before the program and it played such an integral part in me shifting. I’m continuing to practice and feel the effects of the things I’ve learned, with many meaningful breakthroughs over the last few weeks. I’ve still got much to learn but I’ve been feeling myself having more ease and more power… which is so huge. I’m very grateful for this program and that we were able to do this together, as it’s helped all of us to communicate more effectively and focus on what’s most important. Thank you for the paradigm shift! It’s been life-changing and I can’t wait to continue next year.

My 1:1 coaching with LJ was really transformational. She has an outstanding ability to help you re-frame a lot of your current struggles or blockers with a very creative, pragmatic yet extremely simple mental models that you can apply right away. I was initially quite skeptical of the idea of coaching, worrying that my domain and specifics are hard to relate to; however LJ’s experience and domain expertise working with founders in our environment positively surprised me. She understood on a deep and personal level a lot of what I’m dealing with and balanced a very delicate line of useful advice that mixes therapy and business coaching all too well.

Before I started working with Lauren, I was very stressed about the state of my business. I wanted to figure out a shift that I could feel good about, relieve my stress and help me stop feeling trapped. I was also scared that my investment in working with Lauren wouldn’t pay off and I was being irresponsible by making it. It was so worth it. Lauren’s coaching has given me tools and a space to show up for myself. It reminds me that all the shit in my way is my shit and I can face it and be supported in that. I love how practical and actionable our time together is. It feels very productive and proactive while still focusing on the energy and emotional shifts needed to truly enact and apply the insights gained.
