ROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

Shanelle began her career in the nonprofit industry. As Membership Manager of the American Institute of Architects in Virginia, Shanelle earned a reputation as one of the most detailed, thoughtful and patient liaisons in the architectural community. In her 10+ years with AIA Virginia Shanelle helped streamline the association data, create a membership orientation program, strengthen alliances with five local components, and retain over 90% of their 2200+ members.

In 2010, Shanelle started consulting and found that entrepreneurship could be isolating. She wanted to connect with likeminded women entrepreneurs and decided to create a space for them to connect, learn, and collaborate. She founded Empowering Her Events, an events production company that hosted interactive events to empower women to find their voice, communicate their worth, and reach their goals. While there, she produced Build Your Business, a quarterly workshop series that helped women entrepreneurs build business in a down economy.  The workshop series was free and connected women in Virginia with their fellow entrepreneurs to connect, collaborate, and learn together. The series also offered a platform to launch entrepreneurs' services and training to their target audience.

The Building Your Business workshop series led to being a small business correspondent on talk radio at Radio Go Girl, and the creation of SC Coaching, LLC. As a result of her expertise, Shanelle was featured on Women's Speakers Association TV Women of Influence which was broadcast in 120 countries and 6 out of 7 continents. She enjoys speaking at events on the subjects of: pricing, leadership development and training, process improvement and system implementation, team building and retention, client attraction and retention, and relationship building through effective communication.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Shanelle strongly believes that communication and service have the power to support and reshape her community. She volunteers as a President and Area Director for Toastmasters International, on the Collections Committee at the Valentine, as a Facilitator for the Divorce Recovery Workshop at First Baptist Church, on the Outreach Team for TEDxRVA Women, and is also an honorary member of Building Economic Stability Together.
