Helping people, teams and organizations be at their best.
Bridging Leadership, Learning + Life, because life doesn't happen in silos.
Through strengths-based coaching, leadership and team development, learning experiences, and consulting, we help people better understand themselves and one another, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change.
We bring together practical tools, fresh perspectives, and research-informed approaches to help people thrive across the places they lead, learn, work, and live.
You’re more than one part of your story.
And whatever brought you here probably is, too.
Maybe you're here because you're trying to...
Lead a team through change, or create a culture where people want to stay.
Build stronger relationships and a healthier workplace.
Make sense of information and turn it into something meaningful.
Create learning experiences that actually connect.
Help your child recognize what makes them extraordinary, or find more confidence in your own parenting and caregiving journey.
Figure out what's next in your career and design a meaningful life.
Or, simply find your footing in a season that feels different.
We know that what happens at work doesn't always stay at work. Our experiences, relationships, confidence, and well-being shape how we show up in every part of our lives. That's why we look beyond the challenge in front of you to understand the people behind it: what they bring, what they need, and what might help them move forward.
Because when people feel understood and supported, possibilities begin to open up. Sometimes, the most meaningful growth happens when we have people alongside us to share perspectives, work through challenges, and figure out what's next.
That's what we're building through the Pathways Collective: a community where leadership, learning, and life come together through real conversations, practical learning, and ongoing connection.
That's Pathways.

LIFE

Our Work Speaks for Itself
Our approach is grounded in understanding people and what helps them thrive.
One of the ways we do that is through Gallup's CliftonStrengths assessment. As experienced strengths-based practitioners, we help people recognize their natural talents, better understand one another, and apply those insights in meaningful ways.
Combined with our expertise in leadership, learning, coaching, and organizational development, we turn greater understanding into practical strategies for real-world challenges.

"Our government group of 14 managers and staff completed a three-hour workshop with Shari and Sara and it was the best professional development experience we have ever had. It allowed us to learn more about ourselves and gain clarity about the people we work with. We will definitely have Shari and Sara back for more retreats and team builders in the future."
—Heather B., Agriculture + Agri-Food Canada (Government of Canada)

"Shari and Sara's reputation precede them, and I can say with absolute confidence, they live up to their reputation! They took the time to tailor the workshop to our group's needs and varying levels of knowledge on assessment, creating a custom learning plan for us... It was a jam packed few days of learning, but it was FUN..."

"Incredibly knowledgeable and engaging presenters! I want to commend their commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. Their approach is very intentional, patient, and willingness to acknowledge potential short falls of the Strengths-based Leadership from a EDI lens. Their passion for Strengths really brings this approach to life."
—Carmen L., Director, Belonging, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (St. Lawrence College)
