"Rodman and I have struggled to take our PBS television show to the next level because we’ve had similar, yet different visions. Being a husband and wife team adds a unique dynamic and we needed someone strong enough, who we both trusted, to lead us down a path to truly reflect on why we were creating this show and where our hearts were guiding us next. After working with Shari, we felt reinvigorated to unfold our movement in a way that honored each of our unique gifts. We are confident, and slightly giddy, now that we have renewed direction and focus. It is also magical to see the other pieces of the puzzle fall into place once we said our vision out loud."

"Shari is the full package. She understands the skills needed to create successful projects and successful people. She's a true leader in what she does. I enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone who wanted to take their business and leadership to the next level"

Joe Theisman former NFL player, entrepreneur & TV broadcaster

Working with Shari helped grow my business but also helped me dive deep into myself and what I wanted to create. Shari helped me elevate my organic SEO and online presence through blog posts, optimizing my website, local SEO, social media and through the launch of my podcast. Within a few months I was in the top 10 on local organic searches for my law practice niche--animal attorney. Soon I was consistently in the top 2 or 5. This was with no paid advertising, only organic SEO. She also helped me get clear on my content strategy and my brand messaging which I used to update all my marketing and website-- this was vital to my overall growth.

"Shari knows so much about how to bring out the best in leaders. She helps new and seasoned leaders find paths to more innovation and creativity professionally and personally."

Lou Mancini Former CEO of GNC and Brookstone

"I had big dreams about what I wanted to do but for some reason I was always too scared to start. Too many imposter syndrome thoughts. I worked with Shari and found my core trauma. I also learned how to deal with my limiting "parts". It was mind-blowing how soon everything opened up in my heart afterwards. It's like the process freed me from years of fear and struggle. The imposter syndrome doesn't stop me anymore!"

Bella Taylor entrepreneur & Blogger

"Shari really is a creativity genius. She helps you see beyond your vision of what's possible. Her programs helped me reconnect with my creativity in a way I didn't think possible. She's amazing to work with."

Mona Catmull Artist and Entrepreneur

"Shari is an excellent expert on marketing, branding and helping you develop your brand story. She guided me as I launched a new product. She helped me create my product video and gave me a solid plan for how to promote my new product."

Mark Rise entrepreneur

"I had no idea what I wanted to do in business or life. I was skeptical of Shari's program, but I still did it. I couldn't believe how it completely changed how I saw myself and my future. I owe so much to Shari. Thank you!!!

Lindsey Mathews --entrepreneur

"Shari's process challenged me in ways I didn't expect. I realized my challenges with being an effective leader started with some of my own internal blocks from the past. The process changed everything about how I lead my business & life."

Claude Rouelle CEO OptimumG

"I joined Shari's program because I wanted to grow my business. I had no idea I would get so much more. My business has grown by 40% but I'm prouder of how I've grown personally. Thank you Shari!!!!"

Lisa Martin entrepreneur

"Working with Shari was refreshing. I've talked to many business strategists and none have laid out such a thought out plan for me like Shari did. She asked a few questions and then jumped in quickly with a list of steps that I could take to get me where I want to be in my business. What I loved most is that she focused on my "big dream" (my WHY) for my business. I get so mired in the details of running a naturopathic medicine practice that I sometime forget to focus on where I am heading with it. Working with Shari was action-oriented and it was the first time I could see how I could get to where I want to be. It was just what I've been looking for."

Denise Clark N.D.

"We are a small, start-up nonprofit organization who, like most early stage businesses, were narrowly focused on our business plan and painfully unfocused on creating brand and brand awareness. Shari opened our eyes to the type of message we wanted to deliver, and broadened the horizon of those who need to hear it. She helped us start our "movement". She is patient, creative, intuitive, nurturing - and best of all, Shari knows her business. I cannot recommend Shari Kingston Adams highly enough."

CASE STUDIES

URBAN CONVERSION

Emmy Nominated Docu-Series airing nationally on PBS, Create TV, Amazon and Internationally

Their Challenge: Husband and wife team unclear on how to reinvent their TV show and create a business

around it. Also was challenged by both going in different directions.

Shari first began working with husband/wife team on helping them find their focus, direction and purpose moving forward for their TV show and personal paths. Shari worked with them on idea and creative development to determine the direction of their TV show project--so it included both of their passions. The hosts decided their new "life" and "show" direction would be to buy a farm in the city and use season 3 to document the house remodel and turning the land into a working flower farm. Shari became a producer on the show and helped series producer, director and hosts to research and develop the new look, feel and direction of the new season. She also helped develop and come up with episode ideas, location scouting, story lines and securing guests. She also focused on gaining corporate sponsors for the project. The new season focused on the hosts buying a farm and remodeling the house -- the corporate sponsors provided product for the new home and the sponsors also appeared as guests on the series. Shari coordinated getting the sponsors, writing up contracts and negotiating the contracts. Shari also managed the sponsor's involvement which included, working with their teams & PR firms, procuring their products, coordinating installation of products with tradespeople, coordinating filming schedule & film shoot of sponsor's show segment. Shari also helped coordinate season 3 viewing party and public relations related to the party. When Shari started working with the docu-series, the hosts couldn't decide if they wanted to continue their show and if they did, how to reboot it so it reflected both of them. After working together, they were not only able to do another season but they were able to take their show to the next level in terms of vision, story-telling, creativity and quality.

*One of the episodes Shari was an associate producer on was nominated for an Emmy.
