Sonya Shelton's Unique Journey into Executive Coaching @CommandYourBrand

How did you kind of get into this whole world, and how did you develop that viewpoint? Well, it all started before I started executive leadership consulting. Actually, my last job was as the head of internal communications for the Walt Disney Company. And I was there at a very cool. Yeah, I was there at a very interesting time where in that position, I experienced something that nobody in my position had ever experienced and something that nobody in that position will ever experience again, which is we had a. Yeah, we had a shareholder revolution revolt with a member of the Disney family, Roy Disney, leading a shareholder revolt against our CEO at the time, Michael Eisner. So imagine it's like a company going through a divorce, and I'm. I'm the head of internal communications. Right. So I really just had a unique experience and perspective to see a company that is known for the best of the best culture going through the worst of the worst culture. And it really just gave me that perspective of what culture culture can do, what leadership can do, and even my own experience as a leader going through it. You know, the things that I had to endure, the things that I put my team through as a result of what I was going through, just gave me a lot of empathy for what leaders go through and also gave me a unique perspective on culture.
