Hi! I’m Sharmel, the creator of SRG Collaboration. A strategic advisor, dynamic facilitator and effective coach, I support teams and groups in reaching their goals through innovative engagements and interventions. 

I believe in the power of collaboration and also intimately understand the pressure and complexity of working in a team. Professionally, I have worked in extremely high pressure, international settings, where trust, coherence, and agility were imperative. I know the demands of the day. My work is to support groups so that they can work together to be more productive, creative, cohesive and agile.

Background

I launched SRG Collaboration in 2022 after 15 years in the international development sector. My professional career began in project management, supporting international development and humanitarian programs, in the private and public sector. From project management I grew into policy development, policy analysis, and then capacity development. My entire career has been dedicated to service and this work is no different.

Over the years, through serving in various leadership roles, including on US Government disaster responses, I found my passion for facilitation, mentoring, and coaching. I dedicated my energy to growing in this space, becoming a Technology of Participation trained facilitator, ATD Master Trainer, and a Certified Professional Coach. 

Throughout my career I have established a reputation for facilitating processes, providing systematic analysis, solving intricate problems, delivering engaging training, communicating complex issues clearly, and making space for learning and growth. I have trained, coached, and mentored leaders; worked on organizational and culture change efforts to create an equitable culture; and driven process improvement endeavors on staffing, structure, and performance solutions. I also have significant experience advising and engaging with Senior Leaders including White House officials, Senior Government executives and the international Diplomat Community.

My approach mixes deep knowledge, a warm and empathetic presence, and an organized, detailed container for collaboration. I bring a wealth of knowledge on team dynamics, human behavior, and systems to the table as well as a natural curiosity, dynamic presence, and outstanding public speaking ability.
