What’s on your mind?
You have something worth working through.
Sometimes it helps to talk it through with someone who can see the possibilities and help you sort through the practicalities.
A decision to make
You’re weighing an opportunity, considering a change, or deciding where to invest your time and resources.
An idea to shape
You have an idea for a ministry, offer, program, or gathering and want to consider who it serves and what would make it workable.
Something to refine
You’d value an experienced perspective on an existing offer, plan, or process before deciding what to adjust.
A challenge to untangle
A project has stalled, priorities are competing, or the pieces aren’t coming together as you expected.
We’ll focus on one main issue so our time together can be useful and specific.
Faith + practical strategy
Room to explore. A focus on moving forward.
Come ready to share what you’re considering, what you’ve tried, and where you’d value another perspective. Gather any notes or materials that will help us understand the issue and make good use of our time together.
Bring your priority for right now.
We’ll begin with what most needs your attention and agree on what would make this conversation valuable to you.
Consider what’s possible.
I’ll ask questions, notice connections, and offer an honest perspective as we consider your options, resources, responsibilities, and capacity.
Identify your next move.
We’ll use what emerges to name practical steps, decisions, or questions that need attention next.
Prayer and discernment have a place alongside thoughtful planning. Our work together honors what God has entrusted to you and the life in which you’re carrying it.
“Dr. Cornea’s immeasurable ability to encourage, enduring wisdom and steadfast fortitude kept me moving forward.”

Your thinking partner
Hi, I’m Sheila.
I know how hard it can be to find someone to think with. As a founder and a second-chair leader, I sometimes needed to work through an idea before bringing it to a board or senior leader, yet colleagues didn’t always understand the work, some were competitors, and female mentors were few.
That experience is part of why I value these conversations. I’ve led in education, nonprofit organizations, and ministry, and served as a university professor and administrator.
With a doctorate in organizational development and leadership and certification as a Gallup Strengths Coach, I bring practical leadership experience, a curious mind, and my faith in Christ to the way we think together.
You bring knowledge of your work and the people you serve. I come prayed up and prepared to offer experience, fresh perspective, and thoughtful questions that help you move forward.
The Sidebar Session
What would you like to work through?
Bring the decision, idea, or challenge that’s ready for focused attention.
A Sidebar Session gives us time to work through one focused question, decision, or review. If your work needs a broader scope, you may want to consider the Pacesetter Experience.
