E102: Shamis Pitts- Connecting to Greatness

Shamis Story in her own words:
Shamis' Story

I launched Pitts Leadership in March 2019 after completing a
“year on” of soul searching. For years, I struggled to connect
with my purpose and made the decision to step back from the world
of work until I could answer the questions - “Why am I here? What
do I want to contribute to the world?”


I have always enjoyed serving and supporting others; however,
doing so often left me feeling depleted. I always had access to
interesting job opportunities, and I would happily accept the
challenges presented to me because I loved leveraging what I knew
while learning something new. But something was missing. I
realized that the “something” was me!  


I was often supporting someone else’s vision for the future
without having a commitment to my own. I had been working 70-100
hour weeks, prioritizing work over wellbeing, telling myself that
I was doing so in order to support the organizations I was
leading and the employees within them.


After taking a step back, I realized - I believe in leading by
example. How can I support the wellbeing of others if I am not
operating from wellbeing? I then committed to a life of wellbeing
- physically, emotionally, socially - and established the support
system I needed to be in integrity with that choice.


With Pitts Leadership, I, along with my team and my partners,
seek to support individuals and organizations on that journey by
providing leadership coaching, training and development, keynote
speaking and human capital consulting services.


Pitts Leadership leverages my 20 years of experience in strategy,
people leadership and business process within human resources
management consulting, financial services, education and start-up
technology.


I have served as the official mediator and the unofficial heart
and soul for many companies. I endeavor to support individuals,
teams and organizations to create similar powerful, purposeful
experiences.
