Sydney Sheppard is a coach and mentor, and the author of A Growth Mindset for Teens. Her work focuses on the power of mindset, coaching sales teams and readers to develop and maintain a growth mindset. Sydney has worked in sales management for over 25 years, and as she nurtured a growth mindset in her personal life, she became adept at transferring it to a business setting. As she learned of its power to transform her goals into reality, she was able to take the businesses she managed over the years to new heights, and this has had an astounding impact on business success. The teams Sydney has managed and currently manages are made up of seasoned professionals, and college graduates. She has taken the opportunity to coach her team members to nurture their own growth mindset, no matter how long they’ve been in the workforce. This ignited a passion for coaching and mentoring, and as she watched success blossom within her teams, she realized that mindset coaching was both key to success in formal education and missing from it in most settings. Sydney is determined to extend her coaching beyond the teams she manages, enabling individuals to embrace the power of a growth mindset from adolescence onwards. Sydney enjoys playing tennis in her spare time and is also an avid practitioner of yoga and meditation. She loves traveling and exploring different cultures, and, in line with her belief in the growth mindset, is committed to taking courses that extend her beyond her comfort zone every year.
