Schandel Meshman

Leadership Coach · Executive Strategist · New York

WHO I AM

With a Master's Degree, more than two decades in child therapy, and more than a decade as CEO of a nonprofit agency in New York State, I know what it means to lead when the stakes are high.I built and ran a team of 50+ professionals — therapists, social workers, and educators — navigating regulatory demands, organizational growth, and constant change. That's where I learned that strong teams aren't built by chance.They're built by leaders who know how to diagnose problems, align people, and create a culture where performance is the standard.Today, I bring that same executive clarity to business owners and leaders who are ready to build stronger teams, sharper systems, and sustainable growth.
