Meet Shea
I’m Shea Connell—leadership & human skills coach, learning strategist, and culture builder. I work with values-driven folks and teams to unlock clarity, drive connection, and fuel confidence through courageous, heart-lead action.
Through a whole-person coach approach, dynamic group programs, and team workshops, I help you lead from your core with human-centered intention, communicate with impact, and make bold moves that actually stick.
“There’s no growth in your comfort zone, and no comfort in your growth zone.”
This wasn’t the plan. Let me explain…
First I was going to be the next Abby Wambach—scoring game-winners for the U.S. Women’s National Team. Then, I had my sights set on being the next Hannah Storm, anchoring SportsCenter voicing over the ‘Top 10 Plays’ every morning. Then, the future CEO of a top sports marketing agency. And then…
…life happened. Plans shifted. Pivots presented themselves. And I had to figure my sh*t out—one reinvention at a time.
15+ years, a few cities, a few careers, divorce and several bold leaps later… here I am.
Since realizing I wasn’t going to be the next Abby Wambach… I’ve led teams, built systems, and climbed the corporate ladder—but more than that, I’ve learned how to navigate the inevitable pivots life throws our way. From changing careers, to starting over in my personal life, to stepping into rooms I once (and sometimes still do) feel unqualified to be in—I’ve lived in the messy middle. And I’ve found purpose there.
Over the past 15 years, my career has taken shape at the intersection of talent development, adult learning theory, and strategic sales & leader enablement. I’ve designed and led initiatives that help sales and revenue leaders lead better, coach smarter, and refine their people-first approach. My experience spans L&D strategy, curriculum & program design, facilitation, and coach-the-coach models—and I specialize in building scalable, sustainable containers that drive behavior change, strengthen culture, and deliver real results across people and performance.
Fás blends everything I’ve learned—the human skills required to not just exist but succeed in the corporate world, core mindsets to be fostered to evolve, and how to harness discomfort for growth.
It’s a space where we untangle the stuckness, harness strengths, and break through the uncomfortable to build a path forward—one that is aligned, strategic and unapologetically yours.
My personalized coaching containers weave together a unique blend of executive development, mindset work, and neuro-informed tools like HBDI®—all designed to reconnect with yourself, shift those pesky, ineffective patterns, and move forward with clarity and holistic, tangible strategies.
More than anything, I lead with curiosity, empathy, and a deep belief that real evolution begins with holistic self-awareness—tuning into the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual parts of who you are to find the clarity and courage to move forward.
The best part? You don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to walk with you—through the stickiness, into the messy, and out onto the other side as you rise, align, and lead boldly from within.
