The events are incidental; the connections are critical.
There is a lot of mystery surrounding how to find, engage, connect to and maximize people in your business—whether it is one person or one hundred. Whoever said working with people had to be so complicated? The greatest success in working with others is sincerity, or transparency. Sharon DeLay combines her experience as a career coach, hiring manager, business owner, and HR professional into BoldlyGO Career & Human Resource Management, a company focused on affordable, accessible talent management for individuals in career transition and companies in need of engaged employees. As the author of Career Boot Camp, a self-contained full career transition program, and co-author of E-Cruiting, Sharon also draws on her experiences as a career coach, outplacement and transition specialist, hiring manager and human resource professional to bring transparency and practicality to the following:
- Individual career transition for adults, beginning with answering that all-too-familiar childhood question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
- Removing the fear from offline and online networking, whether creating a strategy for over-coffee chats, informational interviews, or connecting online through social networking.
- Recruiting strategies that utilize social networking for greater affordability for small business and independent (third-party) recruiters.
- Employee engagement strategies to increase productivity and profitability and reduce costs associated with bad hires and employee turnover.
- Online reputation management strategies and employer branding, the key touch points that connect candidates and employers and support the beginning of great relationships.
- Employee development and coaching to achieve greater engagement and professional development.
Sharon holds an MBA and undergraduate degrees in HR, Education, and Communication. She earned her SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources) designation from the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI) of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and her Certified Professional Résumé Writer and Certified Professional Career Coach certifications from nationally-recognized Professional Association of Résumé Writers and Career Coaches. She honed her professional career in the direct sales, education and communication industries.
She lives in Columbus, OH with her husband Kevin, who handles all marketing and web design for the business, and their 4 dogs. In their spare time, they plan their heritage highway retirement vacations where they fully intend to live the “Winnebago warrior” life.

As with any new tool we business owners begin using, LinkedIn makes more sense to me after Sharon DeLay walked me through avenues I hadn't been aware of. Now I actively seek respectful communication from members, whether they are in my network or not! Sure beats cold calling.

Sharon - your training in Linkedin for businesses was excellent and showed me all the power-user features I wouldn't have found on my own. I am recommending your webinar to my colleagues. Thanks so much!

Thanks for a great session at HRACO. We’ve participated in several national conferences on social media strategy. This is the first session that lived up to the hype. You take a strategic view using a planful, straight-forward approach. Who has time for anything else? Thanks!

Great seminar! I’ve typically had fear and anxiety associated with social networking, but this seminar really turned that around. The seminar was very comprehensive. I feel I now have a strategy and the tools necessary to be successful in securing quality leads for my job search.
- Michelle T.
Your seminar opened my eyes to at least 6 new ways to use LinkedIn without taking up a lot of my time. I can’t believe how much I was underutilizing this system and how simple it is to make amazing and meaningful connections that will help my business grow. Thank you so much for making LinkedIn so easy to understand.
