Shannon’s encouragement and facilitation in gaining insights on how to influence my Board, empower my staff and build the organizations' reputation with external stakeholders was invaluable. Her coaching style is equally enabling, supportive and challenging.

Shannon helped me think about my long-term career and how to influence relationships internally to position myself effectively. After our coaching, I received a big promotion in profile and responsibility.

Shannon provided the perfect sounding board through my onboarding to help me make the leap from management to executive leadership. She was that critical, objective voice helping me to define and achieve my goals.
