Shannon Malkin Daniels is a Public Speaking & Authenticity Coach who’s passionate about helping business owners and professionals find their true voice and share their stories with confidence. She knows firsthand the struggle of being in environments that push you to conform—having grown up in highly-regulated corporate settings where she was conditioned to speak, dress and act in a certain way. But when she transitioned to entrepreneurship, Shannon realized that despite her polished presentation skills, something was missing. She wasn’t making genuine connections. It wasn’t until Shannon fully embraced her authentic self—quirks, unique perspective, and all—that she started building those deep, meaningful connections. Inspired by this transformation, she founded SPEAC Success to help others do the same. Her mission? To empower people to communicate with heart, create real connections and lead with authenticity. With over a decade of coaching experience, Shannon also works with organizations to develop their employees' communication skills, fostering a culture where authenticity thrives. As a professional speaker and TEDx speaker, she brings a wealth of knowledge to her work, drawing from her time teaching at Columbia and Iona Universities and her master’s degree in interpersonal communication from the University of Central Florida.
