Praise for Dr. Shelley
“I have known and worked with Dr. Shelley for a number of years in a variety of critical workplace situations and have the highest respect for her personal character, her keen abilities, and her impeccable confidentiality. Her unique background in psychology, coaching and consulting allows her to bring a set of skills to the table which prove invaluable to both the individual and the organization.

She makes it clear that it’s not personal but there are personal strategies that can help women feel and be empowered. She is able to take normally taboo topics of anger and power out of the closet in a way that helps women to claim their seat at the table.” – Alicia Whitaker, Principal Whitaker Associates, Former Managing Director, Global Human Resources Programs, Credit Suisse

In addition, she is well-respected by her peers and by those psychologists who have recognized her skills and her many years of experience in dealing with a wide variety of psychological problems in a range of prominent business organizations.” – Harry Levinson Ph.D. 1922-2012, Clinical Professor of Psychology Emeritus, Harvard Medical School, Founder of the Levinson Institute, Author of numerous publications, recipient of multiple awards for contributions to the field of psychological consultation to organizations.

Dr. Shelley’s most popular presentations which she offers from a keynote to a full-day seminar include:
The Conscious Leader Presentations: 9 Principles and Practices to Create a Wide-awake and Productive Workplace
The book was originally based on a seminar entitled “Ten Tenets for Success and Well-being: What You Need to Know to Enter the Workplace,” which was originally created for young Wall Street analysts and the popularity of the seminar drove it up the ladder.
The Conscious Leader is a more robust and updated presentation that can be customized to emphasize certain principles that an organization finds most relevant such as Diversity, Change, Self-awareness, etc. Overall, it provides information about how all human beings function psychologically in the workplace that has gone missing from the collective knowledge bank. With jargon-free explanations, humorous and inspiring stories, Dr. Shelley makes the 9 principles and practices accessible and immediately applicable.
Breaking the Glass Ceiling Within
Part of what continues gender inequality in the workplace is primarily social and political – discrimination and harassment and sexism in all its subtle forms. The reality is that social and political solutions are necessary to affect change and these changes will continue to take time.
But, also, part of what impedes the success of women are the internal conflicts that may be created by, or intensified by, these external conflicts. Of course internal and external conflicts will interact, and sometimes cause women, understandably, to respond in less than optimal ways which will only serve to strengthen the external barriers.
This seminar focuses on how women can get their own psychological houses in order such as learning what causes self-sabotage and what to do about it, how to deal with anger more effectively, how to find and use their own unique voices so that they can create opportunities for success and satisfaction.

THE CONSCIOUS LEADER
|
People don’t leave their psychological selves, conscious and unconscious, at home when they come into the workplace, and there are many permutations of how work and self, and self and others, collide. It is essential to understand the basic psychology of people at work – people who work for you, with you, and the people you work for.
Employee engagement surveys consistently report high percentages of disengaged, unhappy workers. Most of the time, people are unhappy at work because of what goes on there that they do not understand: unconscious and problematic issues, behaviors, relationships, and interactions specific to the workplace, that make their days unfulfilling, challenging in a negative way, disheartening and disappointing, and sometimes, a downright nightmare. You can have no illusions about how that affects the bottom line and employee satisfaction. Like it or not, doing business today requires navigating the underground psychological terrain of people at work. What lies beneath the surface is often more important than what is visible. The subconscious culture shapes what is done and not done. Learning to use the tools of psychology can help people solve the mysteries of the workplace.You will understand what the real problem is when things go wrong and what you can do about it. It is only when the unconscious culture can be made more transparent that it can be changed. Learning how to make what is unconscious conscious is necessary for anyone to work productively. Becoming conscious and building a wide-awake, conscious culture is the key to modern leadership. The Conscious Leader was honored to be a finalist in the USA Best Book Awards for 2014 in the Business: Management and Leadership category. The Conscious Leader was also named Winner of the Next Generation INDIE Book Awards 2015, Winner of the Best Business Book 2015 at the New York Book Festival, and Second Place Winner Best Business Book 2015 Colorado Independent Publishers Association. “This book is a must for anyone interested in creating better places to work.” – Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries.,INSEAD Global Leadership Center Waking-up and becoming conscious is an essential step for new leadership everywhere.” – Judith E. Glaser, CEO, Benchmark Communications, Inc. This is a welcome addition to all leadership books out there today.” – David C. O’Leary, Former Global Head of Human Resources Credit Suisse First Boston, former Global Head of Human Resources and Chief Administrative Officer, State Street Corporation Reciniello has written a thoughtful, practical, accessible, antidote for leaders committed to greater self-awareness and to more reflective organizations.” – Michael A. Diamond, Ph.D., Professor and Director, Center for the Study of Organizational Change, University of Missouri |
