Sheila's mantra is "some is good, more is better,” which applies to running, the amount of jewelry worn, heel height and laughter. She loves all things that sparkle and really thinks that she’s a lot taller than she is! Yes, she can run quite easily in heels and recently completed her second half marathon (in runners) with more races to come.
She received her BA from the University of Calgary.
Sheila has received numerous awards including the 2017 Alberta Venture ranking of Alberta’s fastest growing companies – TAG has appeared 6 times on the list. Profit and Chatelaine rank Canada’s Top 100 Women Entrepreneurs – she’s appeared on the list 4 times. She was honoured to be recognized by Red Deer College as their Distinguished Alumnus of the Year in 2015.
Her first book, “Hired! How to Get The Zippy Gig. Insider Secrets from A Top Recruiter.” Hit the Amazon Best-Seller lists in both Canada and the USA within the first 24 hours of being released.
Indigo-Chapters contacted Sheila directly to ask if they could host the book on their on-line store. She of course jumped at the opportunity! Her book is available in several Indigo-Chapters in Calgary, Red Deer, Vancouver and Ottawa.
She’s been interviewed on CTV Morning Live (Calgary, Ottawa & Vancouver), Global Morning Calgary, 660 & 770 radio. Canadian Living magazine profiled an article in September with her job search strategies.
Since publishing, she’s delivered very lively sessions at the National Cannexus (career educators) conference, CFA (Chartered Financial Analysts) Conference, Airdrie Chamber of Commerce, National Women’s Executive Network, University of Calgary Alumni, U of C Haskayne School of Business, Calgary Economic Development, MLA Greg Clarke’s constituents, Red Deer College Donald School of Business, UBC Sauder School of Business and even a lively and memorable convocation address for the graduating students of Red Deer College. She was thrilled to have been invited to do a keynote at her industry association conference, ACSESS in Montreal this spring.
