We recently connected with Shae-Elle McLean and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Shae-Elle thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?

Man, what success currently looks like to me has drastically changed over the years. I used to believe it was material gain and status. I used to believe it was if I was able to achieve the tangibles and accolades. I was convinced it was winning games and running a check up.

Though running the check up never hurt nobody, there is more to life then money.

Success is you waking up tomorrow and getting out of bed. Success is you showing up to the gym even though you want to do anything but that. Success is allowing YOU to be you in all forms with no judgement.

Taking intuitive risks is what also led me to success. Over the years I have realized that true success is putting yourself in a position to create freedom for yourself mentally and physically. The more you are able to do this the more you are able to show up and lead others to success.

Shae-Elle, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I will never push you to go against the rhythm of your life’s pace.

A realization struck me a few years ago when I noticed I was trying to force nearly everything in my life—yes, even my hair color, quite comical. I sought my identity in external factors, compelling relationships, and situations that weren’t serving me.

Today I’ve made it my mission through my business and style of coaching to share the valuable lessons I’ve learned through my own life experience. I always set out to consistently guide you back to your authentic self while enhancing your mindset. Whether we are in the gym or working 1-on-1, S-E&A is here to help you enhance your performance physically and mentally through performance management.

I will lead you back to forms of self empowerment and provide outlets for you to reconnect with the most important investment you can make – yourself. I will steer you away from anything that feels forced for you at this point in your journey. I will challenge you to adapt new personalized strategies to hit peak growth and performance in your personal and professional life.

As an individual and high performer yourself, It’s time to embrace your authenticity and embark on a journey of personal growth and fulfillment.

S–E&A’s overall coaching style is going to direct you back to mindsets in any course or physical training that help you release mental patterns and habits no longer serving you on your continuous journey to success.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Over my years of playing at a high level and training at a high level I’ve learned through these types of environments what you put in is what you get out. The effort you put into your physical appearance will dictate how you value your vessel. The work you put in on growing your mind to become more self-aware will showcase in all your relationships and opportunities.

The more you continue to show up with integrity in your brand, especially on social media, the more you will create a stronger bond between your clients and you. Investing in oneself as a brand is a critical aspect of personal and professional development, contributing directly to the alignment of your brand mission, values, and vision.

Your personal brand is not just a logo or a product; it encompasses your skills, experiences, and the unique qualities that set you apart. By prioritizing self-investment, you enhance your capabilities, credibility, and overall appeal to your dream clients.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

Relationship building is hands down the best strategy I have aligned with when building my clientele.

Relationships are the key to success in my eyes and if you think about it, we are great assets for each other when it pertains to our growth. We are able to teach and guide each other to our strengths and this type of impact cannot be found anywhere else when the teacher is their true authentic-self.
