About Sharon
My purpose is to leave the world better than I found it by helping executives of small and mid-sized companies have an outsized impact on their organizations and in our broader world.
I envision a world where all companies are led by intentional, ethical leaders. Their companies contribute more than just products and services to society. They provide purpose and meaning to employees, deliver stellar value and service to their customers, and ensure healthy returns to all their stakeholders.

Sharon Richmond’s coaching was instrumental in helping me develop professionally and personally. After learning how I think and operate, she gave me insightful and practical guidance tailored to my current organizational context. Her approach is deeply empathetic and pragmatic. Thanks to Sharon’s coaching, I was able to exceed my goals (in only 6 months)! I highly recommend working with Sharon to anyone seeking to learn about themselves and grow.
Maggie S.
“Sharon helped me immensely during the first few months of my transition into a new leadership role. She was able to help me identify my strengths and areas of development, which have proven to be very helpful as I have grown into the new role. When I was anticipating a difficult conversation, she was able to break it down into several steps, so that when the time came to have the actual conversation, it went very well. I am very grateful for Sharon’s help, and will likely reach out to her in the future as my own development needs change and grow.”
Tara C.
“Sharon’s experience, intellect, and insight were incredibly helpful to me as I navigated some very difficult and tricky transitions in my company. She was able to reframe issues to help me see a broader solution-set and was immensely helpful in brainstorming alternatives and actions. As a result of our sessions, I’ve been able to successfully make a key transition and have been able to set my team up for success going forward.”
Lisa R.
“It’s all about donning the cloak of the CEO and trusting people to do their part so I can take a step back and focus on the things that matter most to me. Sharon helped me think through things from other people's perspectives, getting me comfortable with tough choices that might have to happen… Zooming out to the strategic and in to the details helped me triangulate on what is most important.”
Marc B.
"I’ve learned and grown so much as a person and leader. The biggest change I think is on how I view myself.... Now I know that capability and skills are cultivated and every great leader is made with so much grit and discipline, not born."

Executive Leadership
You're a good leader, but are you keeping pace with your organization's needs? You know you have room to grow—like all leaders. Professional athletes work with coaches to up their game—explore how much better you can be, working with the right Executive Coach.
Leadership Team Effectiveness
Is your team functioning at its best? Executive teams set the pace in a company. Team building is more than rope courses or cooking classes. Boost your team's performance by improving trust, communication, accountability, or conflict management.
Culture Building
Culture is the invisible hand in your organization, shaping daily decisions and behaviors, and your leadership team influences it most directly. From what your team prioritizes, to which behaviors you reward and tolerate, you're showing what matters. We'll help you shape your culture as you grow.
