Big Self School Founders
Meet Dr. Shelley Prevost
Shelley is a licensed therapist, executive coach, angel investor, and TEDx speaker who left private practice in 2010 to dive into the startup world. Since then, she’s mentored or invested in nearly 100 early-stage companies—witnessing both extraordinary success and the heavy cost of burnout.
In 2014, she launched a tech company and led it until hitting a wall of profound exhaustion that changed everything. What followed was a deep journey into healing, purpose, and reconnecting with her true self.
In 2019, she co-founded Big Self School to turn those lessons into a powerful framework for growth. Today, she helps high achievers reset, build emotional resilience, and align their lives with who they truly are.

Built around psychology and human motivation
Our Approach
Our approach is rooted in an understanding of emotional intelligence and how this dictates behavior. You may believe it is our well-grounded logic that is in operation, but it's not. Emotions are in the driver's seat. Every organization faces different logistical or technical problems. We aren't consultants and we don’t solve your problems with a one-size-fits-all, outside-in framework.
We look “underneath the hood” for what the (often unconscious) human motivations and actions might actually be about. When it comes to envisioning the kind of place you want to work at–where you spend so much of your relational time and energy–this is the place to create a new reality that begins from the inside out.

Why you need a coach
Why you need a coach
Leading high-performing teams requires skills most leaders never learned in business school.
Improving your impact as a leader isn't something you can figure out alone. It's hard to assess your own communication patterns, identify blind spots, or recognize the subtle ways your leadership style might be limiting team performance.
Even when you're open to feedback and committed to growth, translating awareness into sustainable change is challenging. You need someone who can see the patterns you can't, and knows how to help you shift them.
Coaching is essential for team optimization. Our skilled coaches bring objectivity, proven frameworks, and experience that help you unlock leadership capabilities that directly translate to measurable team improvements. They can guide you to breakthrough moments that transform not just your effectiveness, but your entire team's performance.
We love working with teams.
Create a workplace culture where higher level communication is the norm—not the exception.
