Sheila Dubin

Sheila is passionate about enabling senior leaders, top teams and organizations to lead effectively in complexity and ambiguity, expose patterns, assumptions and blind spots, and reach beyond habits to unleash leadership capacity. She is committed to introducing ideas that help leaders engage, think, act, and notice differently, and actually embody these new ideas by applying them in real and immediate business challenges. Sheila believes curiosity, awareness and compassion are critical for leaders courageous enough to discover and push the edges of their leadership. She deeply admires the human condition and brings honesty, generosity, and lightness to her work while also holding results as a top priority. She approaches leadership development as a journey, not an intervention and equips leaders and organizations with tools for ongoing development and growth.

Sheila brings over 30 years as a trusted advisor to senior leaders through experience in top tier and boutique management consulting firms, as a start-up co-founder and a mother, along with a Harvard MBA. She founded LaunchBox 12 years ago when she took the leap to follow her passion into executive coaching and leadership advisory, focusing on individual and collective leadership effectiveness. One of Sheila’s proud career moments was joining Cultivating Leadership, a boutique leadership development firm that focuses on supporting leaders in complexity. Sheila’s clients include Fortune 1,000 companies, venture backed start-ups and mission driven organizations in industries including technology, pharmaceuticals, professional and financial services and more. A sample of Sheila’s clients include: Google, Dolby Labs, Electronic Arts, Advanced Micro Devices, NASA, Santander, Dell Medical School, Novartis, Zimmer Biomet, Bain Capital, Noble Energy, Penske, and American Heart Association.

Sheila has an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BBA in Logistics and Operations from The George Washington University. She is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

When Sheila is not advising leaders, you can find her in an art museum, collaging, hanging out with her three teenage daughters, hiking or cooking. She also practices meditation and is deeply exploring energy work and somatics. Sheila lives in Austin, TX and dreams of living in a castle in the countryside of France.
