Tell Me More

Hi, I’m Mandy.

Hi! I'm Mandy Shoemaker, and I help high achievers who are succeeding on paper figure out what's actually next. We start with truly understanding yourself.

Through the Enneagram and deep self-awareness work, we uncover the patterns, motivations, and blind spots that shape how you lead, relate, and make decisions. Once you understand why you do what you do, you're in a completely different position to choose where you go next — on purpose, instead of on autopilot.

I can help you find your way.

As a business owner, educator, mom, wife and daughter, I've walked this path myself, I know what it's like to build a successful life and still sense there's more waiting on the other side of real self-awareness. Taking the lead in your own story is what makes a life feel fulfilling.

Everyone in your life benefits from you being at your best. Let’s find out what that looks like!

My Approach

Collaborative

Coaching is a client driven collaborative process. As your coach, I am your companion along life’s journey helping you show up as your authentic self. Equipped with tools to help you build resilience, self confidence, self compassion and so much more!

This is YOUR Story

No matter who you are, life is going to be filled with ups and downs, challenges and triumphs. Whether you are a C-Suite Executive, a young leader looking for your next career move, or a high achiever in transition, you don’t control the challenges you will face, but you do get to write your own response. We can work together to make sure that response aligns with where you want to go, and how you want to show up.

What clients are saying…

  • “My work with Mandy over the last months has been life changing to say the least! I have a new understanding of myself, including true motivations and fears- and how to repoint them in a healthy direction to learn and grow. I appreciate her kindness, her directness, and her ability to keep me on task during our sessions. Prior to each session, we set goals, and she continually repoints the conversation back to the goals to ensure we see progress." K.M.

  • "As I began my journey with Mandy we initially were focusing on business expansion. However, Mandy's intuitive coaching style redirected our time together. We focused on the enneagram, which has been a powerful tool, and got to the root of some blocks that were in the way of me stepping into my full potential. We have since pivoted back to business growth with a fresh and clear focus. It's emotional to think about the blocks she was able to reach in a short time. The work we've done together is priceless." J.J.

  • “During this last year with Mandy I’ve started a new career that I had been longing for and it turns out the career had its eyes set on me too. I’ve been able to better understand and process my emotions to make logical decisions that best support me and my family even in times of turmoil. Working with Mandy has helped open my eyes to the truth of each tough thing and I’m able to remain calm in the midst of what in the past I would have classified as a disaster. My mind is at ease in a world of chaos." T.P.

  • “My work with Mandy has been incredibly valuable in helping me reach both my personal and company growth goals through her holistic approach to coaching. Through our work together, I’ve gained clarity around important issues and taken meaningful action in areas where I previously felt stuck. I truly appreciate Mandy’s ability to see things from a fresh perspective and guide me toward practical solutions." S.S.

Coaching VS Therapy

I have personally found great value in both therapy AND coaching. The experience is quite different. Therapy is about healing from the past. Coaching is more focused on getting the most from your future. Because coaching does not require specific training, anyone can call themselves a coach. So, be extra careful when selecting a coach. Are they ICF certified? Do they have references you can check? Do you know anyone who has worked with them?

Coaching is focused on outcomes that are client driven. A coach may start with some assessments to help determine a baseline and a place to start with goal setting. The art of coaching is based on asking questions that help you gain a deeper understanding of your beliefs, values and motivations. Although life experience is a plus for coaches, they need not have had your same experiences to guide you through tremendous growth.
