The work
Research-backed. Practical. Deeply human.
Shari holds a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership and an MA in Pastoral Counseling. Her doctoral research explores emotional intelligence, self-awareness, trust and decision-making in crisis, including the leadership of Midwest rural hospitals.
That rigor is only half of what she brings to a stage. The other half is a lived understanding of pressure, loss and rebuilding, which is why audiences leave with ideas they can use and a room that feels different.
