Shari Bowles Gibbons

Shari Bowles Gibbons is the operator leaders call when they are tired of surface-level leadership work that does not move the numbers. At Anderson Lane and Associates, she attacks the real problems that stall growth: fragmented executive teams, unclear power dynamics, disengaged talent, and cultures that cannot keep pace with the business. Working with CEOs and senior leaders across technology, retail, e‑commerce, entertainment, higher education, city government, healthcare, financial services, gaming, and life sciences, she treats leadership and team performance as hard, measurable levers. While most companies tinker with isolated trainings, she sees the entire system and builds leadership capacity in a way that actually shows up in performance and ROI.

Her edge is a systemic team coaching approach that fuses advanced vertical development with practical tools leaders can put to work immediately. She reads patterns fast, pulls the signal from the noise in conversations, and uses that diagnosis to design executive coaching, team coaching, and targeted workshops that change how people think and operate, not just what they say in meetings. Through focused toolkits like High-Performance Culture & Systemic Team Coaching, Engage & Mobilize Employees, Strategic Planning, Power & Influence, Overwhelm & Time Management, and MINDSHIFT: Inner Game and the Leadership Circle, she helps leadership teams sharpen strategy, upgrade communication, defuse conflict, and build collective leadership instead of hero-dependent organizations. The result is not theory, but visible shifts in alignment, execution, and accountability.

In high pressure moments, Shari brings calm precision and a bias for what works. She cuts through noise, surfaces the tradeoffs, and gives leaders clear pathways to stronger decisions, tighter teams, and higher performance. Her style is direct, grounded, and practical, with no interest in theatrics or empty slogans. Clients walk away with a stronger inner game, a more capable leadership bench, and teams that can sustain high performance without burning out. When the stakes are real and the room is full of strong opinions, Shari is the partner who keeps everyone locked on what will move the business forward.
