We Walk Our Talk

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

Walk Of Life Coaching have decided to take Coldplay's lead and pledge to plant one tree for every hour of coaching sold, back dating to 2008 when Shannon started the business. That's an amazing 4,768 trees being planted!

Leadership Circle Profile™

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?

Shannon was one of the first people who encouraged me as I pivoted into a career in sustainability over a decade ago. She knows the skills, certifications and recruiters needed to be a leader in this space. The Walk of Life community and Impact Leaders Lab that she's pioneered has been invaluable for me over the years.
