Executive Coaching for Corporate Leaders: The 5% Club

by Shayla King

I’m Shayla King, a former C-suite executive turned Performance + Happiness Coach. This is the podcast for leaders who want it all: the promotions, the paychecks, and luxurious amounts of time for what matters most. Each week, I’ll teach you the mindset, skillset, and systems from my proven Performance + Happiness Formula to help you rise to the top without burnout or overwhelm. Work less, make more, and design a life you love—that’s exactly what we do in the 5% Club. Let’s Go, or Let's evolve together!

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Shayla brings such a refreshing, real perspective to leadership, growth, and living your best life. The 5% club is more than just a podcast - it’s a blueprint for success and happiness. 10/10 recommend!

I LOVE YOU! <33 · Sep 2025

Love the tactical strategies Shayla talks about to create a life by design. You don’t have to have shame around wanting success and being a mom.

nickisoares · Sep 2025

I’ve been connected with Shayla on LinkedIn for several years. Over time I noticed the tone of her posts and content shift and I gradually - purposefully started paying more attention to her words of wisdom. When I realized Shayla had started a Podcast I was excited to have the ability to absorb her fresh takes with her intentional pauses and meaningful inflection - which is - at any point in my day, an opportunity to take a pause and work to improve my tactics and overall presentation. What I appreciate most about The 5% Club for Leaders is that the conversation doesn’t stop at identifying the issue or the problem - the conversation with Shayla peels additional layers in our psyche exposing those uncomfortable places within ourselves that we need to address to make meaningful change. Keep up the great work Shayla, I’ve placed The 5% Club for Leaders in my favorites alongside Jay Shetty and many other inspiring voices.

*Wiggles* · May 2025

Shayla’s episodes are always such an easy listen and so relatable. Each one leaves you feeling motivated and inspired. I look forward to it each week!
