together.
we build the plan.
As your coach, my goal is to help you identify fresh perspectives on your growth, your leadership, and the path toward achieving what matters most to you. Together, we’ll uncover what’s next—developing strategies that align with your goals, your values, and the leader you’re becoming.
​
Hi there! and Welcome!
My name is Shastan Kuschke and I hope our new journey together will start today; there's no better time than now to take the next step in reaching your goals, your dreams, or to overcome your fears.
​
My background in dispute resolution and community development has shaped my deep commitment to helping others reconnect with their purpose—whether that's in your career, your leadership, or your personal growth. Through our work, we'll explore new ways to create balance, clarity, and meaningful change, building lasting momentum in both your life and work.
​
Before coaching, I spent 20 years teaching in public and private K–12 schools, while also dedicating years to coaching and competing in elite-level sports. These experiences continue to fuel my passion for guiding others through transition, challenge, and opportunity. I believe in the power of transformative leadership—and in finding the unique drive within you that will turn your vision into reality.
​
So, what positive change are you ready to create?... and how can I help you get there?
​
I hold a Master’s Certificate in Executive Leadership Coaching and Dispute Resolution from Southern Methodist University (Dallas, TX, 2020), a Master’s in Education from Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond, VA, 2012), and a Bachelor’s in Studio Art from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College (Lynchburg, VA, 2006).
