Bill Shirley - Executive Leadership Coach
Bill Shirley is an Executive Leadership Coach with over 50 years of leadership experience in manufacturing and service industries. He works in the for-profit, not-for-profit and government sectors.
He guides leaders in creating Agile, High Performance Teams in low-stress Working Environments! The focus is on creating Authentic Leaders who, while leading their organizations, create low-stress, fulfilling life adventures of their own design.
In this age of rapidly changing market environments, he brings seasoned wisdom and “battle tested” tools for creating collaboration, cooperation and teamwork across companies, countries and cultures through Authentic Leadership Principles.
He firmly believes only those leaders who create low-stress, highly creative working environments, where all employees are enthusiastically engaged, will attract and retain the human capital required for sustainable, long term prosperity. (It is Human Capital that attracts Financial Capital, not the other way around.) When an organization embraces Authentic Leadership Principles, all team members are able to create a low-stress,
fulfilling life of their own design.
Bill is a life-long student of modern management theory and practice. In 2006, the International Coach Federation (ICF) awarded Bill the Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential. At that time, less than a 750 coaches in the world met the ICF standard for its highest credential. In 2009, he became an ICF Assessor of Coaching Competency.
He has walked in the shoes of those who lead businesses and professional service companies. He understands the leaders’ isolation, overwhelm and frustration. Thus, he lists “BT” after his name; he has “Been There.”
