Sharon (Shay) Drapeau -
Founder, Mark It Done Virtual Solutions
Shay is a bestselling author, narrative strategist, and creative coach who helps leaders, founders, and visionaries transform lived experience into clear, compelling work that moves people to action. She is the founder of Mark It Done Virtual Solutions, a storytelling-driven consultancy designed to help ideas become finished, influential assets—books, brands, platforms, and legacies.
With more than 15 years of experience across media, communications, and digital strategy, Shay has built a reputation for bridging the gap between vision and execution. She specializes in translating complex ideas, personal stories, and business insight into messaging that is relatable, resonant, and strategically aligned—whether on the page, on stage, or online.
Shay’s work sits at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and human connection. As a ghostwriter, book coach (often referred to as a Book Doula), and brand storyteller, she partners with clients to uncover the narrative beneath the noise—then helps them shape it into content that builds trust, authority, and momentum. Her approach blends creative intuition with structure, ensuring clients don’t just start projects, they finish them.
Through Mark It Done, Shay has supported sole proprietors, executives, nonprofits, brick-and-mortar businesses, and mission-driven organizations with:
Narrative strategy and ghostwriting
Social brand storytelling and content architecture
Creative and leadership coaching
Community engagement and audience-centered messaging
Her work has helped clients clarify their positioning, strengthen brand identity, improve internal alignment, engage audiences more deeply, and communicate their value with confidence to customers, teams, and investors alike.
In addition to her consulting work, Shay is the founder of She Breathes Life™, a storytelling-centered personal development brand dedicated to helping women heal, lead, and build sustainably without burnout, debt, or self-abandonment. Across her platforms, workshops, and publications, she creates safe, soul-nourishing spaces where story becomes a tool for growth, regulation, and self-authority.
Shay is also a passionate community advocate. She volunteers with the Girl Scouts, supports LGBTQIA+ youth and families, and co-leads antiracism and equity-focused initiatives in her community. Above all, she is a devoted and the proud mother of two children who continuously remind her why legacy work matters.
At her core, Shay helps people do what many struggle to do alone: clarify what matters, honor their voice, and mark the work done with intention and impact.
