Business and Life Strategy Expert Cornelia Shipley got an early start to her career. At 18, before ever setting foot on the campus of The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Cornelia began a sales career at Procter and Gamble Distributing Company. Over the course of the next 15 years Cornelia would go on to receive her BA in Communication from Michigan, have a career of note at P&G, receive her MBA from the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University and Melbourne Business School in Melbourne Victoria Australia, and go on to work for both Raytheon Company and General Mills.
Then it happened, the course of events that caused Cornelia to realize she needed to live a more flexible lifestyle where her life and work were fully integrated. In the span of less than 18 months, both of her parents experienced life threatening illnesses while she got promoted to the “right” job in the “right” location living almost 1,600 miles away. Life was asking Cornelia to make a serious choice, follow her heart and live from her values, or continue down the “right” path. After much sole searching and negotiation, she left the corporate world, to define success on her terms and create a life that would allow her the flexibility necessary to care for her family and have meaningful work.
In 2006, Cornelia partnered with several colleagues to create 3C Consulting LLC, a Human Capital Management Firm specializing in Executive Coaching and Strategic Planning. With the desire to make a significant difference in the lives of others, she expanded the scope of her work to help entrepreneurs and individuals leverage strategic planning principles to create the balance and abundance they desire in every area of their lives. She reaches thousands of professionals each year during her workshops, coaching, consulting and speaking engagements with organizations across business, industry, and academia including General Motors, Hewlett Packard, Edward Jones, University of Michigan, and Duke University among others.
Often asked by clients how she created the balance and abundance she has in her life, Cornelia created Spend Your Day Your Way, a workshop designed to help you strategically plan for your life and work. In 2010 she launched Your Desire By Design a coaching program enabling you to have a life beyond balanced. In addition to these strategic planning opportunities Cornelia continues her work with executives and entrepreneurs to lead their businesses in the 21st century.
