Being a Boss, a manager, the CEO doesn’t have to be so hard.
It can be the most rewarding (and amazing) work of your life.
Let’s work smarter, kinder, and faster. We collaborate with managers and executives to help them become the leaders they wish they’d had. Together we develop strategies, implement SHYFTco processes, and tap into crucial human dynamics (like empathy, accountability, and candor) to take your work -and the culture it fosters- to the next level.
Whether it’s one manager or your entire executive team, we can help you to build and maintain a culture you’re proud of. After all, who doesn’t want to attract (and retain) the best talent, boost diversity, unlock creativity, build better products, and improve their bottom line? No one – That’s who.

What people are saying
highly recommend
I highly recommend the dLab workshops – it delivered a high ROI for the day and a half of time we invested. I came back to the office with several steps we can take immediately, along with a broader view to plan a longer term strategy.

Managing Director
a game changer
Working with SHYFTco was one of the most important career steps I’ve made! Mandy’s coaching has been a game changer.
I’ve been promoted from Manager to Director, but more importantly: I’ve become a better leader, a greater asset to my company, and more confident in my abilities.

It was super helpful to tackle these seemingly overwhelming issues through bite-sized and creative means. I absolutely came away with some immediate plans to improve diversity and inclusion right away.
