Sharolyn Payton, Lead Coach

My passion is developing human potential through a social-justice framework. I am a Certified Master Life Coach, trainer, and Licensed Standards for Excellence (nonprofit) consultant, whose mission is to help leaders lead more confidently and to live more authentically.  I specialize in competency-based human development using Experiential Learning principles, as well as a hybrid of the Socratic teaching model and Ubuntu coaching approach. The ethos and foundation of my practice is centered in Sawubona (isiZulu greeting which means, WE see you, all of you).

Payton Place’s client portfolio includes organizations from Alabama, Arizona, California, Chicago, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas.  And, in 2019 we expanded beyond U.S. borders to Europe.
