Meet Shontina Bryant
Founder & Executive Coach, The Green Pill Effect

From the Barbell to the Boardroom, I’ve learned that true leadership isn’t about burning out to prove your worth—it’s about showing up with purpose, presence, and power. With years of executive experience and the discipline honed through CrossFit, I know what it means to lead with grit and grace.

I wasn’t made to fit in—I was made to create my own lane. I choose alignment over applause, purpose over burnout, every time. That edge you feel when we connect? It’s not by accident—it’s by design.

The Green Pill Effect is here to empower high-achieving women—especially women of color—to lead with stamina, strategy, and self-respect. We don’t glorify the grind. We build systems that sustain us, fuel us, and make us unshakable.

ABOUT

If you're ready to lead from a place of power- not pressure, you're in the right room.

My first experience with transformative coaching came early in my federal leadership career. While supporting executive hiring at the U.S. Department of Transportation, I was matched with an executive coach—and it shifted everything. I wasn’t just facilitating hiring decisions; I was learning how to lead from within. That coaching experience helped me uncover my authentic leadership voice, build confidence, and understand the deep impact of personalized, values-driven support. It’s a foundation I now bring to every client relationship.

At the same time, my journey as a CrossFit athlete taught me the power of mindset, movement, and resilience. Training alongside driven, high-performing women—many juggling demanding careers, families, and fitness—revealed how deeply the mind and body are connected. I started coaching CrossFit clients both inside and outside the gym, helping them channel the same strength, focus, and discipline into their professional and personal goals.

Today, whether I’m coaching a federal executive, a corporate leader, a mother, or an athlete, my approach remains holistic. Because real leadership transformation doesn’t happen in silos—it starts from within. It’s rooted in who you are, what you believe, and how you show up for yourself every day.

What Shaped My Coaching Philosophy

That philosophy became the foundation of The Green Pill Effect—a leadership consultancy designed to support executive-level leaders and federal agencies in driving meaningful, sustainable workforce transformation. As a senior executive, mother, and wife, I understand the complexities of leading in high-stakes environments while managing competing priorities. I created this practice to help leaders align personal values with organizational impact—because effective transformation starts with intentional leadership.

Through The Green Pill Effect, I equip high-performing professionals and leadership teams with the clarity, resilience, and strategic insight needed to lead through change, foster well-being, and build high-functioning, future-ready cultures. My approach is holistic and human-centered—because real transformation doesn’t begin with policy, it begins with people.
