Who Is SSCS?
Sonya Shearer Consulting Services (SSCS) has been developed based on a foundation of learning culture – a culture that both values and encourages learning.
“Why?”, do you ask?
A learning culture is a byproduct of a workforce culture, the deeply ingrained identity of the company and a silent code of conduct. In essence, it’s the subtle “glue that holds everything together”, what motivates your employees, and what drives their actions.
Developing a culture that drives and supports learning shows your company is interested in providing the resources necessary to support employee learning and development. Supporting a culture of learning helps you capitalize on both the potential of your employees, but also helping in the growth of your company.
The team at SSCS can help you develop personalized and specific learning plans that will engage your employees in the process of learning. By setting learning goals and developing strategic plans, employees are better engaged in learning and development. It’s not about finishing a course but more about helping your employees reach their career goals.
One-on-one career goal coaching can help nurture self-directed learning in the right direction, increase accountability, and provide rewards for all. Companies that have a strong learning culture attract top performers and those individuals with a growth mindset.
Sonya Shearer
A born and raised California girl, Sonya grew up "knee deep" in the ranch lifestyle raising a variety of farm critters and riding horses from sun up to sun down. Ranch life taught her to think out the big picture as well as focus on the moment.
As an avid participant in a variety of community organizations, Girl Scouts and Future Farmers of America (FFA) to name a few, FFA specifically taught her the foundation of growth leadership and development of unique interests; in essence, the ideology of planting and harvesting.
Professing to having been in the right place at the right time, Sonya states, “I have been fortunate in my career to be in the position to help nurture talent as well as help people develop and grow professionally.” Careers in health care marketing and education, followed by an extensive career in code enforcement, inspectional services, and municipal government have led Sonya to this path.
“My heart is full every time I get a call from one of my former students with an update on their life, post training.”
Equipped with a Masters Degree in Education, a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice Administration, and a variety of training and leadership certifications from companies such as Wiley DiSC, NRCA, NCCER, and Gallup, Sonya and the team at SSCS has a wide variety of training experience to meet your developmental needs.
There are many paths to great leadership. The goal of SCSS is to help you find the right one that works for you.
