Become a Shift Practitioner
Grow your practice. Expand your impact.
Many experienced coaches, facilitators, consultants and educators are exceptional at developing leaders and transforming organisations, but they're often too busy delivering great work to invest in growing their own profile and business.
Maria Raines founded shift Practitioners after recognising this challenge. Practitioners were increasingly seeking advice on their websites, LinkedIn profiles, positioning and business development, while organisations were looking for trusted leadership professionals they could engage with confidence.
Shift Practitioners brings those two needs together.
We're a carefully curated collective of experienced practitioners committed to developing courageous, inclusive and human-centred leaders. Together, we raise each other's profile, collaborate generously and amplify our collective impact.
Why join Us?
Each practitioner operates an independent practice while contributing to a collaborative community united by our guiding principles and a belief that we create greater impact together than we do alone.
As a Shift Practitioner you'll benefit from:
Greater visibility: Build credibility through a professional profile on our website, thought leadership opportunities and collective marketing that showcases your expertise.
New opportunities: Grow your practice through referrals, collaborative projects, speaking opportunities and practical business development support.
Trusted connections: Join a collaborative network of experienced practitioners who generously share ideas, referrals and expertise.
Greater impact: Be part of a movement developing more human-centred leadership while helping shape the future of work.
Our guiding principles
Every shift Practitioner shares a commitment to three guiding principles.
Leadership shapes the future: We believe leadership has the power to influence people, organisations and communities for the better.
Collaboration multiplies impact: We share generously, support one another and believe we achieve more together than we can alone.
Human-centred leadership matters: As technology transforms the way we work, we believe the capabilities that matter most remain deeply human. We develop leaders who think well, build trust, foster inclusion and create workplaces where people can thrive.
Join the movement
If you're looking for more than a directory listing, if you're seeking a professional community that will help you raise your profile, grow your practice and amplify your impact, we'd love to hear from you.
"They were nothing more than people, by themselves. Even paired, any pairing, they would have been nothing more than people by themselves. But all together, they have become the heart and muscles and mind of something perilous and new, something strange and growing and great. Together, all together, they are the instruments of change."
