About Renee Shea

Founder of Promote Her | Leadership Coach | People & Culture Consultant

I’m Renee—a leadership coach, people strategist, and quiet disruptor who believes work can feel better than this.

I started Promote Her because I was tired of seeing workplaces that looked great on paper but left people feeling unseen, unsupported, or silently burning out. I believe we deserve more than tick-the-box policies and performative values. We deserve workplaces where people feel safe, respected, and empowered to thrive - and where leadership is about lifting others, not leaning into power.

With over 15 years in leadership, HR, and coaching, I bring a deeply human, equity-centred lens to the way we build teams, lead people, and shape workplace culture. My approach blends strategy and structure (I love a good plan) with emotional depth, intuition, and clarity. I don’t believe in quick fixes — I believe in honest, long-term change that starts from the inside out.

I work best with women and purpose-led organisations who care deeply about how they show up in the world. Whether we’re navigating a team restructure, building your leadership brand, or facilitating a culture reset, my role is to walk alongside you—bringing tools, insight, and a calm voice when things get messy.


My work is grounded in

  • Equity: Because fairness should never be an afterthought.

  • Courage: Because change takes guts, not just good intentions.

  • Integrity: Because how we lead matters just as much as what we do.
