Paul Murphy

Digital Content Producer

Paul is the producer behind our highly successful podcast, “The Buyer’s Mind with Jeff Shore”. Affectionately referred to around here as “Murf,” he provides the spark and magic behind all the videos edited for our YouTube channel, our website, social media and all of our client training videos, too! When he’s not shooting video or editing podcasts, you’ll find him brushing up on tech and watching classic movies with his family in Colorado Springs.

Ashlee Nelson

Client Services Concierge

With a passion for people and true knack for details, Ashlee loves working with all of our amazing clients and sponsors on their program deliverables. She also helps Amy with all things Women’s Leadership Circle. When she is not making sure our trainings run smoothly or working on internal projects, you can find her hiking with her husband, mentoring the coolest teens on the south side, and exploring every little piece of Chicago one rooftop patio and farmers market at a time.

Kevin Shore

Director of Marketing

Kevin is in charge of spreading the word at Shore Consulting. Whenever we've got a new event, book, or sales training program he'll make sure you're in the loop. Oh, and if you spot a typo in any of our emails, that’s his fault. You might find Kevin on the beach near his home in Vista, eating a taco or reading a book -- often times all at once. Jeff’s granddaughters, Ellie, Jacqueline, and Lauren, keep him a little busy, too!

Laura Smith

Director of Content Development

An accomplished learning and development professional, Laura manages the development of all our clients’ program deliverables and Jeff’s book writing ventures. She’s also always working in the background to manage our (many, many!) internal projects as we design new sales training content. Working from her office in Paso Robles - the heart of Central Coast California wine country - she enjoys wine tasting (obviously!), traveling, live music, and amazing food.

Becca Waldren

Business Development Manager

Becca comes to Shore Consulting after 7 years of leading Online Sales programs for new home builders in Charleston, SC. Becca loves talking to people and building relationships, which makes her Shore Consultings fit for nurturing sponsor relationships. When she is not working, you can find her seeking out live music, traveling, or boating around her hometown.
