CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (January, 2022) — CWLI is pleased to announce their newest Leadership Track, Elevating Performance: Inner Leadership, in partnership with Shelley Prevost of Big Self School. The 4-month intensive training is designed for proactive leaders who want research-based strategies to elevate themselves, their team, and their company. This year’s cohort of 24 women will be proactively learning and training on the 10 traits of effective leadership: self-knowledge, adaptability, boundaries, boldness, curiosity, communication, connection, self-care, values, and purpose.

Each month the program will have a theme. The first month is Awareness, second is Connection, third is Action, and the final month will focus on Wellness.

Elevating Performance: Inner Leadership will be led by Shelley Prevost. Shelley is the Co-founder of Big Self School, a personal growth school supporting the mental and emotional wellbeing of leaders through coaching, classes, books, a podcast, and events. She is a licensed therapist, educational psychologist, leadership coach, and Enneagram practitioner. She has 25 years of clinical and coaching experience combined with 10+ years as a business coach and startup executive to help leaders be their wisest and most authentic selves.

The program will run from January 2022 to April 2022. This year’s 24 participants include: Megan Bissonette (Chambliss Law); Taylor Bostwick (The Speech & Hearing Center); Autumn Witt Boyd (AWB Firm); Sheaba Chacko (Fearless Permission); Beth Chambers (Southern Champion Tray); Lisi Chavarri (Scout Realtor Group); Julie Davis (Raymond James); Karen Estes (Tennessee Aquarium); Patti Frierson (Times Free Press); Paige Holt (Compass Auctions & Real Estate); Sheryl Jenkins (EPB); Stacy Johnson (La Paz); Monica Kinsey (Caravan Tribe); Sharon Law (Thompson Engineering); Stefanie Mansueto (JP Morgan Chase); Cindee McBride (Girl Scouts of Southern Appalachians); Rhonda McCloy (Iris International); Shannon McFarland (Foundation Title and Escrow); Heather Moreland (Southern Champion Tray); Robin Morrison (First Horizon); Liz Norell (Chattanooga State); Emily Ramsey (Marsh McLennon); Stephanie Steiman (Cheiman Tea); Jessica Whatley (Big Brothers Big Sisters).
