Meet Your EA Coach!
Twenty years of EA & ops leadership—now your roadmap to seamless teamwork.
I'm Shelley Martin. After two decades partnering with C-suite leaders and their right-hand assistants, I've distilled the proven systems and habits that turn good support into game-changing impact.
I've built budgets, led teams, and mentored top talent—all to help organizations grow through better systems and stronger partnerships.
Originally from Alabama and now based in Oklahoma, I bring Southern hospitality to every client relationship. Outside work, I'm wife to Michael, mom to Michaela, Emma, and Bella, and dog-mom to Charlie. You'll often find me baking treats, cooking up new recipes, or planning our next family adventure.
Earlier in my career, I served as Director of Operations and Executive Assistant to the VP of Technology at Life.Church, where I helped scale systems, streamline operations, and support a growing team. Today, I serve as Director of Operations to the COO of Apollos — a tech company helping churches thrive — while also coaching the next generation of executive assistants with the same proven strategies I've honed over the past 20 years.
So, here's the real deal about me - no frills, just a seasoned professional who loves to invest in people. Join me on this journey where leadership meets heart, passion fuels strategy, and every detail adds to a story worth telling.
