Services
I offer no-cost, 45-minute introductory coaching conversations.
​
If there's something you've been feeling stuck on or indecisive about, this is a chance to talk it through and explore it together. We may not resolve everything in one session, but it can offer more clarity and a sense of direction. You'll also get a sense of my coaching approach in practice.
​
There's absolutely no obligation to continue afterward, though we can talk about ongoing coaching and what that would look like if it feels like a good fit.
​
I also take on limited consulting work by invitation. These conversations are typically the starting point for that as well.
​
Core Idea
I work with people who tend to think deeply, notice a lot, and still end up feeling stuck in indecision loops or overthinking.
​
A lot of what gets in the way comes from stories and expectations picked up over time. When those become more visible, it becomes easier to move in the direction that feels most meaningful to you. Which then enables action that has impact out in the world.
My Approach
Many of the conversations I have with clients move through some version of this.
About Me
I’m Shirley Markant, PhD, ACC, a coach, consultant, former scientist, and medical writer.
​
My coaching work sits at the intersection of deep thinking, self-trust, and meaningful action. I’m especially interested in the ways intelligent people get pulled away from their own direction through expectations, overthinking, and inherited ideas about who they’re supposed to be.
​
Outside of work, I love books, puzzles, long conversations, and small creative projects.​
