Programs
Lead yourself, lead your team, lead your business.
Her stated aim is equipping leaders and teams to learn, lead with intention, and leave a legacy with meaning and purpose. Everything below is delivered self paced, live online, or in person.
Lead Yourself
Leadership is an inside job. The work starts by identifying strengths, opportunities, and risks, then addressing the saboteurs and limiting beliefs that get in the way, and building new mental models for a more creative kind of leadership.
It runs in three moves. Discover, using an evidence based assessment chosen for the goal rather than a default. Develop, through her professional and leadership development topics. Integrate, through individual or group coaching so the new thinking survives contact with the day job.
- See strengths, gaps, and development priorities in evidence rather than opinion
- Name the saboteurs and limiting beliefs that hold a leader back
- Own your strengths, acknowledge your gaps, and lead authentically
- Keep the learning in play afterward through coaching
Lead Your Team
Engage, manage, and develop your people through influence and inspiration rather than authority. The work builds a foundation of trust, sets the agreements for how a team works together, and holds people to them so results land with excellence.
- Build on trust and communication
- Foster a culture of innovation and collaboration
- Motivate and inspire a high performing team
- Remove the barriers that slow collaboration down
She has done this at scale. In the high tech industry she built the change management programs that integrated employees through forty company acquisitions in five years.

Meet Shelli
She left the Fortune 500 to make its best training available to everyone else.
"Leadership shapes the culture through behavior, and we hope to model this with our clients."
Shelli Hendricks spent nearly twenty years as an educator, executive coach, organization consultant, and strategic business partner, much of it inside some of the finest corporate learning and leadership development functions in Fortune 500 companies.
She managed global executive coaching and leadership programs for the most senior leaders and for emerging future leaders. She held responsibility for high potential executive development, corporate compliance training, social learning, and global employee engagement. She built regional learning centers, developed programs for executive assimilation, assessment, and coaching, and created the change management programs that integrated employees through forty company acquisitions over five years in high tech.
She founded Blue Horizon Solutions to make world-class leadership programs more accessible for senior leaders and entrepreneurs in organizations of all shapes and sizes. The firm's stated mission is to equip senior leaders and founders with conscious human leadership that changes the world for good, and its principles are the three words she keeps returning to: learn, lead, leave a legacy.
Her practice is built on an evidence based, inquiry led approach. She completed a PhD in Organization Development and Change at Fielding Graduate University, researching what leaders learned about themselves and about leading teams during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her wider research sits at the intersection of leadership development, transformative learning, and sustainability, with the intention of raising awareness, creating dialogue, inspiring behavior change, and fostering social and ecological responsibility.
For fun, she extends the same passion for learning through scuba, scientific research, and marine conservation as a Master Scuba Diver Trainer, which has turned into a second practice coaching the dive industry. Everyday interactions leave impressions, she argues, and over time those impressions become a legacy whether you intended one or not. Leaders who act with intention build theirs on purpose.
