Go from feeling stuck and second-guessing yourself to having a direction you can actually stand behind.

BREAK FREE FROM THE CYCLE OF PUSHING THROUGH
Staying stuck isn’t the answer.
Neither is circling the same decision for another year.
And you definitely don’t want to wake up five years from now in the same place.
At the same time, making the wrong move feels risky.
What you want is clarity.
Something solid.
A decision you can stand behind.
That’s what we work toward together.
And somewhere in there is the quiet thought:
What’s wrong with me?
Why can’t I figure this out?
Meanwhile, everyone around you seems decisive. Certain. Moving forward.
So you start comparing. You question yourself even more.
You’ve journaled.
Made the pros and cons lists.
Talked it out with friends.
Told yourself to be grateful.
Reminded yourself the money is good.
You don't keep circling the same decision because you're incapable of making one.
More often, you're trying to make today's decision using yesterday's survival strategies.
When I say survival, I don't just mean crisis.
I mean the patterns we develop to protect ourselves.
Those patterns often helped us get where we are
They earned promotions.
They built successful careers.
They kept relationships intact.
But they don't always help us decide where to go next.
Until you understand those patterns, every decision feels heavier than it needs to.
That's where our work begins.
The Make Moves Method
Once you understand the survival patterns shaping your decisions, you can stop reacting to them.
It happens through a process.
The Make Moves Method is the framework I use to help you understand what has been keeping you stuck so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start making decisions you actually trust.
Instead of trying to force the "right" answer, we move through three phases that build on one another:

The work unfolds across three phases.
Each phase builds on the last so you can move forward without repeating the same cycle again.
Phase One: Awareness
understanding what is actually happening
Phase Two: Inner Authority
Rebuilding trust in your own thinking
Phase Three: Aligned Action
Turning insight into real movement

Focused work on the priorities that matter most in this season
Coaching is perfect for the person who:
You look like you have it all together, but secretly, you're totally stuck on what to do next with your life or job.
You've been thinking about this for a while, maybe even years, but you're still stuck on the same problems.
You're done taking everyone else's advice about what you should be doing. What you really want is the space to figure out what feels right to you.
You keep thinking: "Why can't I figure this out?" or "What if I make the wrong move?"
You want real direction, not another pros and cons list
You’re ready to look honestly at the patterns influencing your decisions, even when it requires deeper reflection and facing uncomfortable truths.
Values a safe and empathetic space where they can reflect and grow.
Coaching is not for the person who:
Expects quick fixes or instant results without being willing to engage in deeper self-reflection or personal growth.
Is unwilling to challenge their current thought patterns or step outside their comfort zone.
Is looking for someone to tell you exactly what decision to make.
Is resistant to exploring how their mindset, emotions, and energy affect their life and choices.
Is not ready to take action once clarity begins to emerge.

Before working with Sharilyn, I felt stuck. I had ambitions for my career and personal growth, but I couldn’t clearly articulate what I wanted or how to get there. I was juggling ideas, unsure how to prioritize them or present myself as the leader I aspired to be. I was stuck in a story of job titles, rather than realizing my narrative included so much more. Sharilyn helped me name the skill set I’ve developed throughout my career and my volunteer experience.
Sharilyn helped me develop a new language around my work experience and what I want to do in my next role. . And, she did so with honesty, empathy, and sharp insight. She also helped me assess the energy levels that I operate at and how to identify when I need to make adjustments. We ended each session with clear tasks for me to accomplish and concepts for me to think about.
Now, I approach my work and leadership development with much more clarity and purpose. If you’re considering working with Sharilyn, do it. She will meet you where you are, help you name what’s been out of focus, and guide you toward what’s possible.
- Yolanda R. Arrington | Digital Media Strategist
Our sessions were eye-opening and forced me to reflect in new ways. She gave me the terminology to speak confidently about areas in which I needed to grow, especially as a leader.
I faced several challenges, including procrastination, lingering depression, mental exhaustion, brain fog, and, at times, confusion about what steps to take next.
In the past, I had relied solely on self-motivation, pushing myself to move forward without much outside guidance.
Working with Sharilyn wasn’t easy at first. The sessions were mentally draining, but by the end of each one, I could clearly see the benefits, insights, and opportunities she helped me uncover. I always left each session feeling lighter, more inspired, and equipped with a clear action plan for the next steps in my journey.
Sharilyn is incredibly patient, non-judgmental, and an excellent listener. She has a unique ability to help you find your own solutions, guiding you through your struggles and revealing answers that were often right in front of you, but not yet recognized.
- Craig Bosket | Designer & Entrepreneur
The sessions were mentally draining, but by the end of each one, I could clearly see the benefits, insights, and opportunities she helped me uncover.
I had the opopportunity to be coached by Sharilyn during a season when a lot was converging at once. I was navigating the early stages of launching my own business, facing challenges in my nine-to-five role, and stepping into new motherhood. It was a full, intense chapter of life, and at times it felt overwhelming.
Working with Sharilyn was deeply transformative. There were many powerful “aha” moments, but what stood out most was how she helped me gain awareness and agency over the thoughts that had been spinning out of control internally. Through her coaching sessions I began to recognize the stories I had been unconsciously telling myself and the internal “gremlins” I had allowed to run roughshod over my decisions, confidence, and energy.
That awareness changed everything.
Since completing our coaching sessions, I’ve been newly promoted, and my business is growing. I genuinely don’t believe that would have been possible without the clarity, grounding, and inner shift I experienced through my work with Sharylin. She didn’t just help me cope she helped me take control, reframe my inner landscape, and move forward with intention.
-Talicia Tempro | Leadership Executive & Founder, Be the Bloom
Since completing our coaching sessions, I’ve been newly promoted, and my business is growing.
I struggled with my voice and presence in sales, specifically as a woman in a male-dominated industry. I wanted to improve my business acumen, confidence, and ability to present effectively in a room with key players. Sharilyn helped me define my unique voice and develop the self-assurance to engage with different personas. Through mindset techniques, role-playing, and even teaching me the effectiveness of a power stance(!),
Sharilyn gave me the tools to excel. I feel more confident and capable than ever in my sales career and as a business woman, now with my own company. I highly recommend Sharilyn to any woman looking to elevate her career, find her authentic voice, and become the professional she aspires to be.
- Caroline Morano | Sales Professional & Business Owner
Working with Sharilyn Chavez has been a game-changer for me.
One stand-out part of working with Sharilyn is her way of cutting to the heart of a challenge, with empathy. This really helped our sessions to be productive, enabling us to spend time on what really matters and is going to be a lasting impact, rather than a short-term adjustment. Her people leadership, experience across multiple industries and her outstanding sales acumen, were all so valuable as I navigated work related challenges.
Sharilyn was just as adept helping me navigate life challenges when they arose and helped me get out of my head by helping me with visioning and goal setting.
- Dawn McGoldrick | Executive Coach & Former Deloitte Partner
Sharilyn is an intuitive coach who creates a safe non-judgmental space for every session.
I felt lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of the direction I was heading. I had tried holding myself accountable on my own, but without outside support, I wasn't making the progress I needed.
During our work together, I felt completely empowered. Sharilyn helped me understand the deeper reasons behind my reactions and behavior, giving me invaluable tools to self-reflect and set personal boundaries. I learned how to center myself amidst the chaos, and that made a huge difference in my ability to stay grounded and focused in my personal and professional life.
Now, I have a much clearer sense of purpose. I’ve stopped giving so much power to things that no longer serve me, and everything seems much more manageable. Life doesn't feel as extreme anymore, and I have a renewed sense of clarity and direction.
If you're considering working with Sharilyn, I can't recommend her enough. She’s incredible. She will help you find your power, equip you with the tools you need, and set you on the path to achieving your goals and planning for a bright future. Working with Sharilyn has truly been a game-changer.
- Tara Fdaee | Sales Professional
Before working with Sharilyn, I was struggling to find my purpose and regain my drive in my professional life.
She was able to help me explore areas in my life that needed attention in very natural and impactful ways. Sharilyn's coaching style is easy-going, yet powerful. I have no doubt many others would benefit from a coaching relationship with her.

What happens during the Chemistry Call?
It's a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we'll talk about what's bringing you here, what's been feeling stuck, and what you're hoping will be different.
If it feels like we're a good fit, I'll recommend the coaching path that makes the most sense for where you are.
If we're not the right fit, I'll tell you that too.
What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?
Therapy focuses on healing past experiences and addressing mental health concerns, while coaching is future-focused, helping you set and achieve personal or professional goals. Therapists diagnose and treat, whereas coaches provide guidance, accountability, and strategies for growth. Therapy is about emotional well-being; coaching is about progress and achievement. Many of my clients find value in doing therapy and coaching side by side for comprehensive personal development.
What if my company is paying for my coaching?
If your organization is sponsoring your coaching, we'll discuss exactly how communication works before we begin. In most cases, they'll know that you're participating, but the content of our conversations remains confidential unless we've agreed otherwise.
Do you have a specific certification? Are you certified?
Do you have coaching certifications?
Yes. I'm a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), COR.E Dynamics Leadership Dynamics Specialist, and Trauma-Informed Certified.
I integrate behavioral assessment, neuroscience-informed coaching, and leadership experience to help you understand the patterns shaping your decisions and create lasting change.
How do I know which coaching engagement is right for me?
That depends on where you are and what you're trying to move through.
The Empty Cup Audit is the starting point. It's a short engagement designed to help you understand the patterns shaping your decisions before deciding whether deeper coaching is the right next step.
The Make Moves Coaching Engagement is for people ready to move beyond awareness and create lasting change over six months.
The Operator Coaching Engagement is for someone at a significant inflection point who wants deeper partnership, additional access, and strategic support.
If you're not sure which is right for you, we'll figure that out together during your Chemistry Call.
How long will it take to see results?
Most people notice a shift by the end of the Empty Cup Audit. Not because everything is solved, but because they finally have language for what's been happening. And once you can see the pattern, you can stop reacting to it.
Sustainable change takes longer. The work I do is identity-level, which means it's less about making a quick decision and more about changing who is making the decision. That's why the Make Moves Coaching Engagement is six months. You're not just changing what you do. You're changing what you're deciding from.
What does "survival" mean in your work?
When I say survival, I'm not talking about crisis.
I mean the patterns we develop to protect ourselves. People-pleasing. Overworking. Perfectionism. Staying too long. Chasing certainty before deciding. Managing everyone else's emotions before you get to your own.
Those patterns often helped you get where you are. They earned promotions. They built your career. They kept relationships intact.
They just don't always help you decide what comes next.
That's the work.
Do I need to be in crisis to work with you?
No. Most of the people I work with are not in crisis. Their lives look fine on paper. They have good jobs, healthy relationships, financial stability. What they're carrying is quieter than crisis.
It sounds like:
"Everything looks fine, so why do I feel like this?"
"I don't hate my job, but something isn't right."
"I should be grateful."
If any of those sound like something you would only say out loud to someone you trusted, this is the place to start. what comes next.
That's the work.
You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out
If you feel stuck in a decision, questioning your next move, or quietly wondering if something in your life needs to change, this is the place to start.
Our first conversation is simply a chance to talk through what has been weighing on you and see whether working together makes sense.
You do not need the perfect explanation or a fully formed plan.
You just need a place to begin.
