Welcome To the BE LED Group leaders site
Our Story
Too many leaders step into leadership without the clarity, confidence, or support they need to succeed. After decades of developing leaders across corporate, government, higher education, hospitality, and faith-based sectors, we saw the same pattern everywhere: leaders were promoted for their skill but not prepared for the responsibility.
The result?
Overwhelm. Misalignment. Communication breakdowns. Leaders questioning their confidence. Organizations struggling to build healthy cultures.
BE LED was created to close that gap.
We provide leaders with practical tools, relational intelligence, and a safe place to grow, and we partner with organizations to build strong, aligned leadership pipelines that sustain performance and culture.
Because every leader needs to BE LED.
Our Mission
We believe leaders shouldn’t just be positioned, they must be developed.
BE LED helps leaders uncover blind spots, build relational intelligence, strengthen their people-leadership skills, and gain practical tools that elevate their leadership and build organizational cultures where people and performance thrive.
We exist because thriving organizations don’t happen by accident; they are built by leaders who are continuously developed, supported, and led well.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create organizations where leaders are self-aware, relationally intelligent, and aligned in the values and behaviors that strengthen teams, elevate culture, and drive sustainable growth.
We envision organizations that refuse to leave leadership to chance and leaders who choose to be equipped, supported, and continuously developed so they can lead people well and create environments where everyone thrives.
Core Values
Identity Before Title
We believe leadership starts from within. Before a leader can effectively lead others, they must first know who they are, what they stand for, and why they lead. We develop the whole leader, not just the role.
Character in Action
We believe values are not what you post on a wall, they are what you demonstrate under pressure. We develop leaders who embody integrity, emotional intelligence, and relational trust in every interaction.
Courageous Leadership
We believe great leaders don’t avoid hard things, they face them with clarity and conviction. We equip leaders to give honest feedback, navigate conflict, make difficult decisions, and hold themselves and others accountable.
Intentional Excellence
We believe leadership without execution is just intention. We develop leaders who align people, priorities, and processes with purpose, driving results that matter and teams that perform.

Speaking
“Sharon is one of the most exceptional, passionate, and talented leaders I have ever worked with. She has a unique and special ability to build and foster relationships with those she coaches. This allows them to discover their true leadership abilities and to lead at the next level. It is a pleasure to watch Sharon use her God-given passion and skills to help the Chick-fil-A leaders grow and develop. When I think of the impact she has made on me, my team, and the entire organization, all I can say is, ‘WOW’!

"The BE LED Group, under the direction of Dr. Sharon, comes highly recommended. Our ministry was due for a much-needed makeover, but where to begin and how to execute evaded us. That’s when a colleague introduced me to Sharon Sauls. She was professional, knowledgeable, and sensitive to the temperature culture of our organization. Dr. Sharon is an asset to any organization and an ally to every CEO looking to shift, shape, and structure your business, organization, or religious institute for growth, maximum impact, and productivity."

"Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I had the honor of interning as an administrative assistant for Sharon Sauls and BE LED. From back-end management and design to front-end assistance, her leadership and guidance shaped me in tremendous ways. As a consultant for BGNP, I am constantly drawing upon the resources, tools, and advice she provided during my internship and continues to offer. She still keeps me accountable, checks in on the status of BGNP, projects expected timelines for business growth, and is a vital part of my team. She walked me through establishing my LLC in 2019 and has been a constant source of support. When I think of inspiration, I think of Sharon Sauls. And once you meet her, I have no doubt that you will too."
