About ALSHA Work

ALSHA Work is a leadership and organisational development practice working across leadership, workplace culture, executive coaching and human sustainability.

We understand organisations as human systems. Our work looks closely at how people actually experience them: the relationships and behaviours that shape workplace culture, where stated values and lived practice diverge, what happens under pressure or through change, and what helps people remain connected to their work and each other.

Our leadership development, executive coaching and organisational development work is informed by systems and relational thinking, alongside established research and practice in leadership, coaching, workplace wellbeing and behaviour change. We work with leaders, teams and organisations in ways that are practical, reflective and responsive to what is actually happening within the organisation.

ALSHA also works in emerging areas affecting the future of leadership and work. Leadership Longevity focuses on sustaining experienced women and leadership capability through midlife and longer working lives. Human Intelligence in the Age of AI explores the growing importance of human judgement, critical thinking, relational intelligence and ethical decision-making as AI changes how people work, lead and make decisions.

About the Founder

Shae Allen is a leadership and organisational development consultant, executive coach and facilitator working with organisations to strengthen the human foundations of performance.

Her work looks closely at what can be easy to miss in organisations: the relationships, behaviours and patterns that shape culture and influence how people lead, make decisions and work together, particularly through complexity and change. Her background spans higher education, workforce development, facilitation and coaching, and her approach draws on psychological insight, relational intelligence and embodied awareness.

Shae has designed and delivered leadership programs, coaching and organisational culture initiatives for employees and senior leaders across a broad range of sectors, including intellectual property, research and data, legal services, transport, construction, education, government, entertainment, fine dining, health and wellbeing, beauty and e-commerce, manufacturing and the not-for-profit sector, including work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations.

She brings cross-cultural experience through professional work in Vietnam and through supporting Afghan professionals navigating Australian workplace contexts. She has also delivered leadership talks as part of programs with Common Purpose and the Global Leader Experience at RMIT University.
