Colleen Schuller — Sunshine State of Mind

The Person Behind the Coach

Coaching is deeply personal work — and so is the person who shows up to do it. Here's what you'll find when you work with me:

✦I value growth, deep connections & meaningful conversations. You will feel seen, heard & valued — always.
✦We will focus on achieving your personal and professional goals through purpose, values, clarity, capabilities, and impact.
✦I will bring curiosity, positive energy, optimism, challenge, and empathy to our conversations.
✦I believe in growing from every lesson and life experience.
What you can expect To turn big dreams and ambitions into concrete plans — and to inspire others to believe they can get there too.
Outside of coaching When I'm not working with leaders, you'll find me with my two adult sons, surrounded by good friends and family, exploring new places around the world, or spending time with my animals. The same things that fuel great leadership — connection, curiosity, and joy — are what I bring to every facet of my life.

A Grounded, Strategic Style — Built for Authentic Leaders

My coaching blends strategic business insight with deep expertise in human behavior, leadership effectiveness, communication, executive presence, and change leadership. I don't bring a one-size-fits-all playbook. I bring curiosity, candor, and a genuine commitment to helping you uncover the shifts — in mindset, behavior, capabilities, and presence — that create real and lasting change.

Because I've held senior roles inside complex global organizations, I understand the stakes. The politics. The pressure. I meet you where you are, and I partner with you to get where you want to go.

Whether you're navigating a new role, preparing for your next promotion, leading through transformation, or simply ready to lead differently — this coaching is for you.

Strengthen executive presence and communication

From Corporate Leader to Executive Coach

Throughout my career, coaching and elevating others was the key to success. My greatest satisfaction wasn't from achieving revenue targets alone, it came from helping people discover what they were truly capable of. I designed and led enterprise-wide transformation programs, executive team alignment initiatives, leadership development, and culture transformation that were recognized for both business impact and employee engagement outcomes.

When the opportunity came to build Elevate, I knew it was the work I was meant to do. Today I bring everything I learned in those years — the wins, the hard lessons, the transformations and turnarounds — into every single coaching engagement.

I'm proud and humbled that my work has been recognized through industry awards and featured in The Salesperson's Secret Code and The Human Experience at Work.

A Career Built on Leadership and Transformations

My leadership experience spans some of the world's most complex global organizations — across commercial leadership, HR transformation, enterprise change, DE&I, and employee experience — giving me a rare depth of perspective I bring directly into my coaching.

What Leaders Say

Peer, GSK

"Colleen is a strategic, balanced, and empathetic leader who taught me a lot about leading people! She always attacked every decision in a timely fashion, but smartly using insight, data and risk assessment, asking 'what might be the unintended consequences of this option?' I'm thrilled she will continue to shape the futures of leaders in this capacity as a coach."
