Power Session
Claim Space. Set Boundaries. Speak Up.
For Quiet Achievers Ready to Stop Shrinking and Start Leading
You're thoughtful, capable, and carrying more than you let on. Through curated books and strategic identity work, I help you understand who you are, what you want, and how to use your voice with confidence.
You're a Quiet Achiever — and You're Ready for More.
You're the woman everyone relies on. You show up, you lead, you deliver. But inside, you've been shrinking—staying silent to keep the peace, over-functioning to prove your worth, and struggling to name what you need.

You're thoughtful, introspective, and tired of carrying your voice on the inside.
Struggling to speak up or set boundaries without guilt
Over-functioning while feeling unseen or unappreciated
Craving a new chapter in your career but unsure where to start
Feeling overlooked despite doing everything right
Ready to stop shrinking and start honoring your voice
You're not lost—you're evolving. With the right clarity and support, you can step into confidence, boundaries, and leadership that come from a place of truth—not survival.
Meet Your Coach
Hi, I’m LaShawn Lewis-May, MBA, SHRM-CP — Book-Led Identity Coach and Founder of Writing Your Chapter™.
I help quiet achievers—women who excel professionally yet struggle silently—claim space, set boundaries, and speak up with confidence.
As an introvert with a love for storytelling, I bring a calm, reflective presence to my work. With over a decade in Talent Acquisition and HR, I've supported professionals through career transitions, leadership growth, and moments of reinvention.
My Define → Write → Share framework blends narrative work, reflective exercises, and practical strategy to help women articulate what they want next—while releasing habits of shrinking, over-functioning, or staying silent.
Storytelling & Career Strategy
I combine authentic storytelling with practical career strategies to build a compelling professional brand.
Book-Led Methodology
My unique approach integrates curated books to deepen insights, reinforce concepts, and provide continuous learning.
Action-Oriented Results
Coaching sessions translate insights into tangible actions, leading to measurable progress and real-world outcomes.
Because every woman deserves to author a life that finally feels like her own.
In this space, we slow down, tell the truth, and honor who you're becoming.
Your Transformation
Identity comes first.
Your voice follows.
Your career and leadership rise from there.

Stories of Transformation
Real women. Real growth. Real results.
Here's what clients are saying about their journey with Writing Your Chapter™
"When LaShawn shared that she is starting her coaching program, I took the opportunity to contact her. I shared that Heavenly Father is preparing me for the vocation of marriage, and I need a SUPERSTAR COACH to help me get ready. As a never-married, happily single, 54-year young woman focused on loving Jesus, I did not know where to start. LaShawn shared a three-step process with me that helped me document the power of God in preparing me for marriage. LaShawn is an amazing coach. She listens and gets to the crux of the matter. For me, that was establishing more discipline and consistency in my life. THANK YOU, LASHAWN!"

Your Coaching Journey
What is book-led identity coaching?
Book-led identity coaching helps professional women use narrative and self-reflection to gain clarity, confidence, and purpose. It's a transformative process that connects your identity to your professional aspirations, helping you define your unique story and build a career that truly feels like yours.
Who is this coaching for?
This coaching is for professional women seeking to define their professional narrative, navigate career transitions, enhance leadership skills, or achieve specific business or career goals. If you're ready to stop shrinking and start leading with authentic confidence, this is for you.
How long does coaching take?
My individual coaching packages range from 2 weeks (Power Session) to 4 weeks (Career Rewrite) and a comprehensive 90-day program (Elevate & Rewrite). The duration depends on your goals and the depth of transformation you're seeking.
What's included in the 90-day program?
The Elevate & Rewrite 90-day program is my most comprehensive offering. It combines personalized 1-on-1 sessions, in-depth assessments, tailored resources, and continuous support to guide you through significant professional growth and identity discovery. It’s designed for profound, lasting change.
Do I need to read certain books before we start?
No prior reading is required. The "book-led" approach means that literature and narrative principles are integrated into our coaching process to spark insights and facilitate your self-discovery journey. All necessary materials will be provided as we go.
How do I know if this is right for me?
The best way to determine if my coaching is the right fit for your unique needs is to schedule a complimentary Clarity Call. This 30-minute session allows us to discuss your goals, answer your questions, and ensure our partnership aligns with your aspirations for your next professional chapter.
