Shannon’s insight on leading from any seat was extremely powerful and insightful! Shannon was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish and I would highly recommend her for any organization looking to inspire and reenergize its team!

The Geneva Foundation

Shannon has an amazing way with words - so much so that when I noticed she had left her remarks at the podium, I stormed the stage after her remarks to grab the notes, so that I could read and reread them. She’s a pro and our team really enjoyed working with her.

Ben Klasky

CEO, Islandwood

I loved everything about the presentation. Shannon has so much energy in her talk, and is a fantastic storyteller. As someone who has very little exposure to the military, I was still able to visualize and empathize with everything Shannon spoke about. She has a very contagious optimism and presence, and I think everyone walked away feeling inspired and energized.
