Shinebright

Two years ago, I realized that the trajectory of my future wasn't aligned with what I had in mind my life. I decided it was time to bring in a coach to help me out. I talked to two coaches, but they weren't a good fit. Then came Shannon. When I talked to her, it was an instant connection; she just got me. My first session with Shannon began with discussing the results from the Strengths test. Because one of her strengths is empathy, she was able to connect with me on a personal level. During our sessions, we discussed how I can leverage my strengths in all areas of my life and how to partner my strengths with my goals. This gave me an anchor and good foundation in both my personal and professional life. Throughout our time together, I gained clarity, focus and confidence to achieve my goals and dreams. I always thought that as individuals, we're given each tools. Those tools are our strengths and yours are different from other people. Having Shannon as a coach is like having your own personal guide. She helped me sharpen my tools and now I'm able to use them to their best abilities. I couldn't be more thankful for our time together. Thanks so much Shannon! More...

I have been married for the past 12 years. But after we lost our 4 years old baby to a drunk driver 8 years ago. My husband never makes me happy anymore, he comes home in late hours, he blames me for every bad thing that comes his way,He does not work anymore. I have to work so hard to put food on the table and keep the shelter over our heads. He started seeing some other lady two years ago. After i worked so hard to make sure we had a good life. Four months ago my marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. But i love him and i wanted him back. I couldn't waist 12 years of my life. My whole life almost ended .I cried , lost integrity , all my project stopped , i was sick for 2 months. A real woman would understand my pain. I wanted to forget him but i love him and dint want to loose him.

It's true that I could not have been more skeptical about this coaching thing when I started, but Meike has chopped through my tangled vines of distrust in a (relatively) short amount of time. She has taught me how to see strength in my character where I had previously only seen weakness. Still a work in progress, no doubt, but the experience has been remarkably impressive thus far. Highly recommend Shinebright for anyone who is motivated to improve their lot in life. Keep up the great work, Shannon and Meike. More...

I can't speak highly enough about Meike and the outstanding services her and her company provide. I had been in a stagnant space with my career and came across Meike; who graciously offered to sit down with me and discuss my career goals and what my plans were for the future of my job. It's been (3) meetings so far and I can honestly say, I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't started this process. I have a new found love and passion for what I do and have nailed down precisely what it is I should be doing to move forward. I can't thank you enough Meike, it's truly appreciated. More...

When I first reached out to Meike, I felt stuck. I was in a job that I had known for a long time wasn't the right fit--it wasn't what I wanted to be doing in the present and wasn't a career that I wanted for myself in the future. However, I had no clue where to turn or the steps I needed to take in order to get on the right path. Essentially, I knew I wanted change, just didn't know what change I wanted or how to get there. I had been thinking that a career coach would be the next logical step and based on reviews like this, decided to call Shinebright to inquire about their services. I set up a phone consultation with Meike the next day and after the call, I immediately knew that this was how my new journey was going to reveal itself.  Meike, as a person, has the most incredible presence. She exudes such a warmth and energy that instantly made me feel like I was in good hands. And undoubtedly, I was. Our time together lasted a little over two months and during those two months, I gained an entirely new understanding of the aspects that make me, me. I learned and became deeply familiarized with my strengths, my values, my motivations, and was given great exercises to keep up the momentum outside of our sessions. I took up meditation, reintroduced myself to arts-related/creativity-flexing activities that gave me such joy growing up that I had drifted from during adulthood, and when ready, jumped into lots and lots of informational interviews from individuals in varying industries to try to get a better understanding of different fields and their people. When I came across a career/job opportunity that was a good fit--Meike was there every step of the way--during the cover letter writing, the multiple interviews, the compensation negotiation, and even the final "is this really right for me?" She gave me amazing advice, guidance, and reaffirmed in my mind that I was ready, capable, and going to rock it. This experience with Meike was entirely invaluable. I have gained access to a whole new sense of self and have never felt more powerful. I am so thankful that she came into my life when she did and while I am now on a new career journey that I am very excited about, the lessons I learned with her will undoubtedly transfer to all aspects of life.

Making the decision to work with Shinebright really allowed me to take back control of my future. I worked with Shannon in the Santa Monica location. After my initial scepticism of the process, she really taught me a different perspective on how to understand and use my own strengths in all areas of life. After fully embracing the exercises it has given me a new level of self awareness into my own abilities. As a result Shinebright has given me clarity on how to be my best self and how I want to move forward with both my career and personal life. Shannon has been amazing throughout. She is always positive, friendly, knowledgeable, and will go above and beyond to help you understand yourself and grow personally. She was also a huge help for me in identifying next career steps and how to transition professionally. For anyone confused about their next steps, personally or professionally I cannot recommend their services enough. Thank you Shannon! More...

Working with Shinebright brought a much deeper understanding and clarity than I could've imagined or even asked for.I had high expectations and was not disappointed. I went into this eyes wide open and was eager to learn as much about myself as possible. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of myself, and was delightfully surprised to see that there was much more to learn.  It was fascinating to dig in, to identify, to relate, then to learn how to apply these strengths.  Shinebright also helped me look back on what I have been doing up until this point, to see what was working and what wasn't. I am incredibly excited to utilize these new tools when searching for my next endeavor, not only in my job search but also when updating my resume and interviewing. Being able to translate these skills into different job opportunities that I may have not explored otherwise, is awesome. I am grateful for this experience and so thankful that Shinebright was able to walk me through this and help lead me on MY path... More...

I'm a photographer who has always been sure about my path but Shinebright took my knowledge of myself and the love of my work to the next level. It's so valuable to know your strengths and the experience left me invigorated. After taking the strengths test and receiving the results, it was very interesting seeing my strengths on paper but what was extremely valuable was the two sessions I had with Shannon after the testing. She took the time and asked the right questions to really open up what my strengths were, what they meant and, most importantly, how to continue to use them to excel not only in my career but in my day-to-day life. Shannon is very kind and patient. I could tell it was just as important to her as it was to me to fully understand my top five strengths and that care made the process easy.

Shinebright was one of the best things I could have done for myself this past year! You have to try strengths coaching through Shinebright! !

I was fortunate enough to sit down with Shannon and get one on one strength coaching. She started by giving me background and a further understanding of their philosophy. Then we dove right into my strengths and started exploring aspects of my strengths and myself I didn't know existed. This was such an eyeopening conversation and every corner we turned I only wanted to find out more! Shannon is very easy to relate to and you can feel her genuineness. She makes sure you are comfortable and enjoy the experience every step of the way. Her questions were guiding and thought provoking. I had never been asked some of the questions she had asked before and they definitely made me take a step back and contemplate different aspects of my life. At no point did I feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable by the conversation we were having. Shinebright helped me clarify my career path, gave me a deeper understanding of the choices I make in my daily life that will affect me in the short and long term and helped me simplify and improve communication with family and friends by giving me a better understanding of how I naturally operate.

If you are looking for a little guidance, get out of a rut, looking for clarity or need a little push? Shinebright can definitely help!

I had such an incredible experience working with Meike, I wish there was something beyond 5 stars I could give.

In general, I have a hard time asking for help (I'm an independent go-getter and a little stubborn), but moving to a new city while also transitioning jobs left me feeling overwhelmed and unsure.

Thankfully, a friend introduced me to Meike and we began working together to identify my core strengths. At first, a couple of the strengths surprised me, but it rapidly became apparent how they all worked together.

We delved into how my strengths can be used both positively and negatively, which was a turning point for me personally. This realization helped me become more aware of my internal thought process and how I approach problems in my life. We also talked about adjusting the 'volume levels' of my strengths which has already impacted my day-to-day life.

I was introduced to Meike through a good friend, and our sessions couldn't have come at a better time in my life. I had just moved to Los Angeles from Texas, to pursue a career that I had been planning for the past two years. I thought it would be my dream job, but within two months of landing the position, something didn't feel quite right. I felt lost and discouraged, rendering me to look inward for further clarity.

Thankfully Meike booked me for three sessions, graciously opening up her schedule to be flexible for my extremely limited availability. These sessions impacted my outlook on my professional life profoundly. Through identifying my top five strengths and understanding how different environments can affect them, we were able to come to the conclusion that the line of work I had finally joined was not the best fit for me.

It was meaningful to pinpoint environments that I thrive in, and understanding the "why" behind it. These sessions gave me the confidence to cut my losses and gracefully exit my job to make way for a better and more fulfilling fit. Meike is an amazing, personable coach that truly can help someone figure out the missing pieces to the puzzle that the professional journey is. Because of her guidance, I am intentionally moving toward a more authentic, happier career. The effects are already bleeding into other areas of my life, and it's fantastic. Thank you, Meike!

As I began my search for a job in a field relatively new to me, I found Shannon’s assessment and coaching to be extremely beneficial in helping me to dive deeper into previously unconsidered strengths. The coaching not only shed new light upon my talents, but also taught me ways to utilize them both in the workplace and while seeking a new career. What I’ve learned has already saved me a considerable amount of time and energy by focusing my job search on positions where I know I would excel and feel personal fulfillment. I feel confident to successfully interview armed with talking points I would have never thought to address. Shannon even provided positive solutions for areas that I saw as deficiencies, focusing on utilizing existing talents to address other perceived shortcomings.

After just three sessions with Meike, I am now fully aware of how my top 5 strengths function in my life. I can now identify when they are serving me, and when they are getting in my way. I'm a creative problem solver, a deep thinker, and an empath. I am someone who focuses to a point of obsession when it comes to reaching their goals, and I seek to be recognized for my important work. With this self-knowledge, Meike and I started to brainstorm careers that I would thrive in and companies that I would enjoy working at. I realized that just because I love art and film, for example, it doesn't mean I would thrive working a job in that industry, if the job didn't allow me to utilize my top strengths. I had to think even more out of the box. What kind of job allows me to be creative and to express myself? Sitting behind a desk in an art gallery or working as an assistant on a set is not going to do the trick!

I'm right in the thick of this process, but I would never have even gotten to where I am now without Meike at Shinebright. More...

Just shy of 3.5 years ago a major in-my-life event happened. It shook my world in ways that I couldn't imagine and I was put into the position of being required to visit a therapist. It was only 2 visits. But it opened my eyes to the good that could be gained from discussing life's many challenges. So began my half-hearted attempt to figure out how I might have more of this in my life. I say "half-hearted" because I only chatted with a few life advisors, poked around at the various apps now available for online (and on-the-go) therapy, and started collecting articles about self-improvement. So really, not much of an effort. Meanwhile life was happening and I wasn't improving. In fact, if you thought of my problems in terms of odds, odds were that I was having a bad day more often than a good one which really meant that anyone within my inner circle probably had to bear the brunt of the fallout. Meanwhile, as I haphazardly spent moments here and there struggling to figure out how to make life work, a friend of mine, Linda Espinosa, had started working as VP of Marketing for Shinebright, a career and life coaching company. We talked briefly about how it might be a good fit for me and through a series of events I ended up giving it a try.The glaring difference between my first experience with Shannon, compared to my visit with the therapist I had to visit those two times, is that I feel like we, Shannon and I, started from a place of positivity. Within 10 minutes of our first session I kind of knew I never wanted Shannon to leave my life. There was instant rapport. I felt that she truly cared and was there to help me find my way toward making life happen -- instead of life just happening. Ultimately, what Shannon has broadened my vocabulary in terms of being able to understand and explain the feelings that lead to the actions. This has helped me slow down just enough to become more able to act, instead of react, to the world around me. Shannon is helping me identify things that are important to me. Life things, family things, work things ... goals. Things that are meaningful to me that I want to do. I'm gaining a sense of renewed purpose and it is super invigorating. Hopefully I will always be growing and learning. Life happens. It's true. But when it happens because of intentional choices I make it is so much better. Shannon, thank you for shining your bright light in my life. More...

A game changer...and quite frankly a life saver. I was really struggling with what I was "supposed" to be doing at this stage in my life. I have reinvented myself several times in my adulthood, but as a mom I felt that none of those prior hats really fit me. I had been doing a side business for the past couple years which I loved but didn't think it was an authentic career and that I needed to shift my focus. After just a few meetings with Meike, I was able to explore, and discard other ideas that seemed more responsible, but didn't ignite my passion any longer. I was able to focus on my priorities, identify the foundation of my personality and finally put into words not only what strengths drive me but also what holds me back. She helped me identify how to get out of my own way and quiet that voice in my head that stops me from reaching my fullest and most authentic self. Ironically, I found out that this side business that I thought I had to apologize for, is actually where I want to be and what fires me up each day. I now have the tools and plan to reach for my dreams and the steps I need to take to get there. The paradigm shift of realizing that I'm right where I want to be, pursuing my passions, and how it is simply a matter of jumping in with both feet has been invaluable.

Working with Meike at Shinebright has been mind-blowingly amazing. When I think about where/who I was when we started working together six months ago. ..I was not 100% sure I was in the right career; I was not super confident about decisions I was making; I was undercharging clients; I was beating myself up whenever I was doing anything during the weekdays besides work. Nothing major or anything, but I was definitely not "owning my awesome," as my brother would say. My brother had worked with Shinebright at Stanford, and he gifted me a couple sessions with Meike. She not only gave me information about--and helped me understand--my Gallup strengths, but she also gave me the tools so that I could really capitalize on them (and kill my impostor complex once and for all). She is funny and super smart and warm and pushed me without being pushy. Thanks to her, I discovered that things I thought made me less-than, were actually strengths; that those strengths were perfectly aligned with my job; and that, as an expert in my field, I should be charging accordingly and unapologetically (which I now do). And that actually, I do need to take time during the day to step away from the computer.
