Rebel Soul, we’re in this together.

Let’s make it official. Check out the most intimate, in-depth experiences I’ve created for this community.

 

I’m not a coach, I’m a secret weapon. Think of me as the human swiss army knife you’ll want with you on your soul journey. My badass combo of c-suite experience, improv training, global perspective, brand and marketing savvy, coaching certification, soulbbatical trailblazing, and now living (some days better than others) a success-FULL life, makes me an all-in-one advisor-mentor-coach-peer-inspiration-soul sister. Why go it alone?

 
 

We need community to grow.

Brand spanking new! Soul Circles are intimate groups of badass women who, like you, are committed to rewriting their script of success in life and leadership. Each Circle is a safe and brave container designed to support, inspire, and accelerate that journey over the course of 6 months. The program includes monthly group sessions, one-on-one time with me, inspiring guest speakers, consciously curated content, peeks behind-the-scenes, RebelSwag, and an amazing soul family you didn’t know how badly you were missing.

  • The first Soul Circle kicks off in October 2022 — perfect timing to lay the foundation for a success-FULL 2023 (and beyond). Just sayin’. 

  • Note to anyone in my Soul Fam who doesn’t identify as female. You are welcome here. Let’s chat if this opportunity speaks to your soul.

I teach in the wild, too.

My next MEA workshop is confirmed for February 2024! I’ll be teaching from February 26 - March 2. If you’re ready to awaken your rebel soul and rewrite your script of success, come join me in Baja, Mexico (aka My Happy Place). Check out Modern Elder Academy for more details!

  • “Shelley was an EPIC teacher; earnest, endearing, authentic, disarming, brilliant.”

    – Teeter S. (MEA Workshop participant March 2022)

  • “Shelley’s enthusiasm and commitment to our group was very real and very supportive. I want more time with her!”

    – Antje K. (MEA Workshop participant March 2022)

  • Shelley's impact on our group was evident from day 1. She has guided us through so many ups and downs, and she has done so with grace, power, wit, and excitement. She keeps us honest and brings out the bold in all of us when we need it most. She is an absolute badass and I don't think we'd be the cohesive group that we are without her!”

    – Sivan Koenig Galinsky, Chief Marketing Officer at Barack Ferrazzano Kirschbaum & Nagelberg LLP, Member of Chief

  • “Shelley Paxton has managed to achieve what so many women I’ve met have deep down desired, but didn’t know what we were searching for. She liberated herself from the vision of what she thought she had to be, to what truly inspires her and to make that her career and calling. In her coaching she provides tools to unpack the biases and norms of what we think we “should” be doing and provides thoughtful ways to strive to achieve our greatest potential by being true to our calling.”

    – Tina Hohman, EVP, Practice Leader, Wealth Services at Alera Group, Member of Chief

SoulxSuccess Advisory

Looking for a rare combination of coaching, strategic insight, and leadership guidance from a fellow Rebel Soul and former C-Suite executive who gets it? Each year, I work closely with up to three badass leaders who are on a mission to rewrite the script of success in life, business, and the world at large. Maybe you're ready to embark on your very own soulbbatical and want some inspo/guidance along the way. If this is you, let’s talk. 

  • "Shelley ignites a fire within your soul by asking the most poignant questions and walking you through her process that literally opens your mind to possibilities you've never considered. The result is a radical shift in the trajectory of your life that empowers soul-led decisions, more authentic relationships, and exponential joy that you might have missed if she hadn’t come into your life. She is a badass. "

    – Kristi T., Former CMO of Compeat, now CEO of Kaizen Consulting

  • “By sharing just a few of the many tools in her ever expanding bag of tricks, Shelley helped me find clarity, and set a mindful path based on priorities informed by my head, and my heart. I have already lost count of the number of hours Shelley’s coaching has given me back; allowing me to focus on and excel at the things that matter most. Grateful for her help in starting, and continuing, my own Soulbbatical.”

    – Don P., Agency Executive and Founder, Yoga & Martinis

  • “Working with Shelley triggered a critical phase in my personal and professional growth. The Soulbbatical experience has uncovered my purpose and helped me to find my voice—allowing me to lead from my heart. Shelley is a true human performance coach and growth catalyst. Working with her was the missing link in all of the achievements I had made to date. Soulbbatical gave me the time, space, and exercises to make this leap and rediscover my true authenticity and power.”

    – Robert R., Former Director, Global Media, Mars., Inc, Brand Safety Activisty and Founder, NoodleCo

  • “Shelley’s coaching has been catalyst for me to live and lead more authentically, courageously, and on purpose. Her combined business acumen and coaching expertise are unparalleled.”

    – Kristin C., Global Director, Talent/Leadership Development, Mars, Inc.

  • “Shelley is fearless and bold, her willingness to be vulnerable opens others to continuous learning, and she confronts difficult issues with an authenticity that breaks through resistance and gets people and organizations to shift.”

    – Lara L., Former President, Orchard Supply Hardware/SVP Lowe’s Companies, Inc., now Founder + CEO Creative Renewal

  • “Soulbbatical allows you to explore the essence of who you are and all the possibilities of how that can play out in the world. It forces you to dig deep and strip away the barriers that have been preventing you from living your true being. Shelley challenges you in a way that is uplifting and inspirational.”

    – Kurt J.,Senior Director Strategy at GMR Marketing

  • “Shelley brought incredible energy and insight that helped me connect with my calling to a more mission-driven life and career. A calling that I’ve had now for some time but didn’t know how to act on. She helped me find the courage to grow, to leave behind what no longer serves me (and man, that is hard!), to rethink how I want to show up as a leader (and the impact I want to have), and to listen to my soul in all aspects of my life. Our time together was incredibly meaningful and transformational.”

    – Maira G., Assistant General Counsel, Harley-Davidson Motor Company

  • "Working with Shelley allows you to rebel FOR yourself in whatever way you need to. She meets you where you are and provides a safe haven for soul searches, discoveries, and authentic expression. During our time together, Shelley provided different keys to unlocking parts of my soul by way of reflective exercises and dynamic discussions. The time was so valuable that it inspired me to carve out weekly soul sessions with myself—and to start my dream business!"

    – Sofia R., Former Senior Compliance Officer at Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, now Founder of WayShower

The Orange Couch Series

My obsession with orange—and all things mid-century modern—inspired an idea. What if The Orange Couch became an iconic invitation for rebel conversations? A safe space to share stories about our bold, brave, and badass journeys toward living successFULL? An inspiring setting for events, community, and maybe even a talk show? If you’ve got goosebumps too, then sign up for my newsletter to get behind-the-scenes skinny and first dibs for a “seat on the couch.”

I’m always cooking up something soulful for this community.
