Greetings! I'm Shannon, a communication nerd, entrepreneur, best-selling author and TEDx speaker who is passionate about empowering individuals find their authentic voice, hone their message and share it with unwavering confidence. I specialize in helping entrepreneurs and executives through individual and group coaching, workshops and custom programs for organizations.
​
After 15 years in the rigid structure of highly regulated industries, despite my Master’s degree in Interpersonal Communication and a wealth of public speaking skills, I felt trapped in an inauthentic presentation style. My polished, corporate persona didn’t connect with audiences the way I hoped.
​
One day, I decided to break free from these constraints and embrace my true self. I began sharing my story and speaking from the heart. This bold move transformed my life. I found my authentic voice and started forming genuine connections. Opportunities, clients, and collaborators naturally gravitated towards me, leading to a fulfilling career.
​
Now, I am dedicated to helping others do the same—unleash their authentic voice and communicate with confidence.
