Client Testimonial
“As a creative person with big ideas and many interests, it has been incredibly helpful to work with Shelby to look at my vision from a ten thousand foot view. We were able to map out and categorize my vision, and then narrow down and prioritize my tasks so I could get focused on the steps towards my goals—while keeping the larger vision in view. As new opportunities have come up, Shelby has been an incredible partner in helping me pivot and refocus when needed. Shelby’s strengths as a strategic thinker has been a huge asset as I build out this new chapter of my career and business.”

North Star Planning Client Testimonial
I am writing this to express my deepest gratitude and provide a heartfelt testimonial for the exceptional services provided by Shelby Taylor Duncan Consulting. Shelby's expertise and kind nature have not only revitalized me personally, but most importantly, created the much-needed structure for my business to move forward with confidence.
When I first engaged Shelby's consulting services, I was immediately struck by her expertise in various areas crucial to my business's success. Shelby supported business development (e-commerce and partnerships) and led supply chain logistics to support gallery exhibitions overseas. Shelby's breadth of knowledge and experience proved invaluable in every aspect of my gallery. She seamlessly guided me through the complexities of each area, providing clear and effective strategies that brought clarity and direction to my decision-making processes.
What truly sets Shelby apart is not just her expertise, but also her kind and supportive nature. Even when delivering tough feedback, Shelby has a remarkable ability to communicate in a way that encourages rather than judges. I always felt empowered and motivated to improve, knowing that her feedback was meant to foster growth and excellence. .
Through Shelby's guidance and mentorship, I have experienced personal and professional growth beyond measure. Shelby's guidance in curating impactful exhibitions has elevated the artistic experience for both my artists and customers, resulting in increased engagement and sales.
