If someone were thinking to work with Shine, I would tell them that she is everything a coach should be -- honest, encouraging, challenges you when she knows you can do better. But, you need to be willing to let her challenge your beliefs -- about yourself, your job, your teammates, the industry -- if you want to make good progress in her program.
