Shannon's group coaching opened new networking opportunities, gave a supportive forum to explore options and provided useful insight on how my story and experience is perceived by peers and potential employers alike.

Like many females, I dread highlighting my professional accomplishments. The 1:1 career coaching program helped me tremendously.

Imagine holding up a mirror to see the leader within you.

The Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) is an innovative breakthrough in 360° profiling. It is the first comprehensive 360° leadership assessment tool to combine core leadership competencies with inner developmental traits, offering a holistic view of your effectiveness as a leader. It integrates:

Creative Competencies – Effective behaviors like fostering relationships, achieving results, and strategic thinking.
Reactive Tendencies – Internal barriers like control, compliance, and protective actions that may limit potential.

With intuitive visuals and a research-backed framework, LCP aligns with your goals to drive growth and performance.

Ready to transform as a leader from the inside out?

As a certified ICF-PCC executive coach since 2017 and an accredited Leadership Circle Profile coach, Shannon was selected as a Meta Coach to teach Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence Coach Certification course. Shannon is also certified in Harrison Assessments, The GameChanger Index and Korn Ferry's ESCI 360. PCC credential holders are trained, experienced coaches with a commitment to high ethical standards.
