Shelby Holliman Carley, M.A.'s Linkedin Analytics

Writer. Talker. Questioner. Lover of process, community, and checklists. Oxford comma stan. A little diff. 🤘🏻 I couldn’t choose just one path to go down so I take “day trips” to explore each of them on a regular basis through both my work and play. ✍🏻 APMP FOUNDATION CERTIFIED PROPOSAL MANAGER. I’m not waving hello - I’m calling for help. Proposal management is the perfect mix of predictability (process) and texture (what goes on during each step of the process). I have spent seven years in fast-paced, dynamic ed tech and HR tech organizations churning out proposal responses and devoting hours of concentrated and strategic work to responses for multi-million dollar deals. In that time, I’ve touched and implemented systems like Loopio, RFPIO, and Ombud to manage mountains of content and achieved a 44% win rate. 📚 WRITING. My love of scribe continues after hours - so much so that I self-published a book as a birthday gift to myself back in 2021. Based on my love of the 90s/early 2000s TV show, Friends, and how it set me up for complete disappointment as an adult living in a new city with 0 friends, I documented my efforts to find them as an adult and put it into this self-help guide mixed with the most iconic quotes from the beloved TV show. Available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/One-Where-Found-Friends-Friendship-ebook/dp/B09BNYBXD5) now. 🗣 PUBLIC SPEAKING. Suddenly the “talks too much” comments on my report card make total sense. Dozens of speeches and hundreds of volunteer hours in leadership roles later and I am a Distinguished Toastmaster, joining the ~1% of Toastmasters worldwide who reach this incredibly rewarding milestone. Next stop? Connect with the perfect TED Talk coach who can find the right opportunity for my first TED Talk. 👩🏻‍🏫 TEACHER. 5 years of teaching public speaking at Rutgers University and 5-time youth leadership program teacher, and 1 round of "I Am Speaking" for women. 🫶🏻 COMMUNITY. Co-host of the Mom Walk Collective Baltimore and creating content on the @strollerfriendlybaltimore Instagram account! 🎭 VOICE ACTING. Yet another way to run my mouth. Maybe you’ll like it!
