About Shelley Flett

Transformational Leadership Trainer & Executive Coach

As a leader who got it terribly wrong in her early years, Shelley appreciates the challenges that come with managing performance, policies and processes alongside people, culture and wellbeing.

Since leaving her corporate role 2015, she has devoted her time to empowering leaders to drive their development journey and create strong team cohesion. Her focus revolves around the need to transform over transact and build capability over dependency.

Shelley is a Master Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Spiral Practitioner which allows her to take a holistic approach when working with leaders to connect head, heart and gut. She holds a Diploma in Leadership Coaching and Mentoring and is certified in LSI, DiSC, Roche Martin Emotional Intelligence, Values Pendulum and Green Belt Six Sigma.

She is a Professional Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and has clocked over 1300 hours of one on one leadership coaching.

Shelley doesn’t consider herself a writer but has authored three books: The Direction Dilemma, why knowing what you want makes you a better leader; The Dynamic Leader, become the leader others are inspired to follow; and, Feedback, seek it, give it, connect with it. She uses her writing as a disciplined way of growing herself and deepening her knowledge. She is forced into the detail, even though her preference is big picture and feels the discomfort she encourages her clients to sit with.

Shelley believes the journey to dynamic leadership is lifelong, it's exciting and challenging - and the most fulfilling adventure one can embark on in their career.

What People Are Saying

  • Lucie Addison

    “I highly recommend working with Shelley if you’d like to improve your ability to lead a team through coaching and development. Shelley helped me with practical advice I could easily apply every day and week. She made it tangible, but also grounded in text books and theoretical frameworks to match my learning style. We covered a lot, from understanding my and others’ disc profiles to feedback conversations to meditation, and I know Shelley has a lot more in her toolkit to adapt to different people’s styles and development goals. Highly recommend.”
