ME

Shantell Thomas Hello

My career has been shaped by navigating spaces in the tech industry, that were densely populated with those who looked like me. This journey has laid the foundation for truly seeing people, understanding their needs, and helping organizations do the same. Over time, my expertise has deepened in Marketing + Culture + Inclusion where I combine those skills to create meaningful engagements. Download full bio here.

SPEAK

My Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) is to leave a little bit of myself with everyone I meet. From a broad, genuine smile to a three point plan on having a difficult conversation with your boss - I am here for it all. I do it onstage, in the backseat of an Uber ride or in a meeting room. Download this month’s topics to share with those you want to get-onboard with your decision to bring me to your live or virtual stage.

WRITE

I am the Editor of the Amazon New Release Top Five Best Seller - ‘40 Day Reset: Reflections from girlfriends overcoming change & challenge.’ Learn more here.

You can also find inspired writing on my blog published through the platform Medium.

MENTOR

We can all benefit from it, but have you been lucky enough to get or even give it? Well, I have! I can trace my career back to people. The person who taught me how to get the most from my one-on-one with my leader, the person who helped me navigate and negotiate my “big girl job” and the ones who’ve inspired me to find a way to scale this thing I do for others - mentoring.

How would you like me to show-up for you? Maybe a power mentoring session to help you talk-thru a current challenge or a job pivot strategy. Like I said, I am here for it all!
