Through Compassionate Return, Sheila Menezes MS, CPCC and her team, provide Leadership Coaching and Training, Facilitation and EQ-i 2.0 / EQ 360 Assessments and debriefs.
We empathetically support clients to creatively imagine, realistically plan, and gradually attain the quality of life, work, and relationships they hope for. Our goal is to help people learn skills of connection, clarity, and collaboration to build cultures of empathy. Compassionate Return’s approach fosters hopefulness grounded in a vision of holistic wellbeing, equity, transformative justice, and antiracism. We hold sacred our shared humanity, alongside the unique depth and uncanny wisdom that each of us individually stewards.
