Charles Shehan
Founder | Business Consultant | Executive & Team Coach
Charles Shehan is an Executive Coach and the founder of NC Professional Coach. Charles is a former Director of Operations who helped scale an air security company from 50 to over 800 employees in just four years—while improving retention, strengthening culture, and building a leadership pipeline from the ground up. With over 30 years of combined experience across military, law enforcement, and executive operations—and a Master’s in Industrial and Organizational (I-O) Psychology—he now works with executives who are dealing with breakdowns in leadership, teamwork, and performance. What makes his approach different is his “Iron Ethos” Method—a psychology-powered, operations-tested system that develops leaders who don’t just execute under pressure, but also understand how to bring out the best in their people. Because most organizations don’t fail from lack of strategy—they fail from poor leadership, misaligned teams, and disengaged employees. Charles helps leaders fix that—so they can build cohesive teams, improve retention, and create organizations where people actually want to show up and perform. Charles is an active member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychologists (SIOP), the International Society of Explosives Engineers (ISEE), and he’s an active member of The Resolve Firm’s CEO Roundtable.
