These are the kinds of questions I help leaders untangle—especially those working in nonprofits, public health, and purpose-driven organizations. I bring structure to chaos, strategy to overwhelm, and a grounded presence to the pressure of leading systems that matter. My coaching isn’t about giving advice or prescribing a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s about helping you lead your way—strategically, sustainably, and in alignment with your values. I help you see the big picture and the levers that matter most. Clients describe my coaching as grounding, energizing, and honest. Whether you’re facing a tough decision, managing a growing team, or trying to lead with more clarity and purpose, I’ll meet you where you are—and help you move forward with intention.
How can you clarify your vision and inspire others to rally around it?
What new approaches could strengthen accountability and boost engagement?
How could you gain a better sense of alignment between actions and values?
How to identify priorities and stay focused to achieve what matters most?
What would it feel like to walk into the room with grounded confidence?
What’s the next step on your journey, and how will you recognize when you’ve achieved it?
"Shana Montrose is legitimately one of the most powerful and effective coaches I've ever worked with! Her listening skills, and rapid ability to synthesize what you're saying and relay it back to you in a way that is extremely insightful, illuminating, and empowering is second to none! Her words are nutrient dense and instantly help you see the blocks in a way that is helpful... I've worked with many coaches and Shana's brilliance, experience, and communication skills are top tier! I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for clarity, structure, and actionable steps to help them move forward. She's the real deal!" - Ron Ben Joseph
"Shana does an excellent job giving space to explore issues and topics using your own voice and your own style. In a supportive and non-judgmental way, Shana helped me break the 'dancing around' cycle by posing a few clear and concise (and precise!) questions that really made me think. I'm not one to take a few moments to collect my thoughts, but Shana's questions got me to do so. I had never thought about the questions she asked. So, 2-3 questions brought me a great amount of clarity. I would never have had the creative and action-oriented output... if not for Shana's coaching. Her coaching clients are lucky to have her as their coach." - David Humphrey
Welcome to the balcony, where we stand side by side, observing the scene below. You are both an observer and a participant in your own story.
Through coaching, Confluescent will help you develop the ability to step back and view yourself more objectively. Leading significant changes requires zooming out to see the system as a whole and understanding your role within it. With this expanded perspective, you will uncover new possibilities and solutions.
Your coach will get to know you by listening to your stories and help you grow by challenging the narratives and long-held beliefs that can sometimes keep us stuck. Through coaching, you will have the opportunity to rewrite old stories and craft a new vision for yourself as a leader.
The name Confluescent symbolizes the merging of two rivers. Coaching results emerge from the relationship between coach and client—a relationship built on trust, positive intent, and authenticity. In this partnership, a unique cocreation takes place where you, the client, author your story, and the coach guides like an editor, asking powerful questions about language, meaning, vision, and purpose.
Coaching is nonlinear, so there is no standard sequence or universal set of tools applied to all clients. Confluescent coaches meet you where you are and propose a tailored set of tools that resonate best with your personal style and coaching goals.
Are you ready to step out onto the balcony?
When the future becomes far more important than the present, the destination holds more importance than the journey.
