“When Shannon and I first started, I had a lot of turmoil in my life, which filled me with guilt and anger. Her ability to understand and make me see things that I would never have seen without her still amazes me. She does so with grace and compassion, yet she is straight-forward and pulls no punches which I respect, and she does it with so much respect. She truly listens to what you have to say without judgement, and you know she is truly listening to every word. She makes it so easy to open up and you leave with a lot to think about and great insight. I believe I have come so far because of her. I have learned not to feel guilty and understand why I was feeling that way, and that is okay to set boundaries. But I am forever grateful to her for helping me see and understand where my sibling is coming from, and for enabling me to let go of all the anger I had in my heart. By helping me see this and understand from my sibling’s perspective was an awakening, a huge light at the end of very dark tunnel. I now have nothing but love and understanding for my sibling and we are moving forward in a very positive way. We have a way to go but I truly don’t think I would have gotten where I am without Shannon. She has the ability to make you want to be better and has made me really think about things that have happened in my life to understand from all sides. She is a true inspiration, and anyone would be very fortunate to work with her.”

“When Shannon first entered my life, I was struck by her ability to accurately read others. She helps me recognize myself in unexpected ways and identify my strengths long before they are developed. She carries herself with grace and confidence that comes from knowing who she is and staying true to herself. Her depth and stability make her an incredible listener with a discerning perspective. I am grateful to have Shannon as a rock in my life! She is a wealth of experience and sound advice that helps me determine a more intentional path for myself. Our conversations always leave me thinking harder, more clearly, and with a renewed sense of purpose for life. She activates a desire for challenge and self-improvement in me that shows me what I am capable of.”

“I was fortunate to meet Shannon at a time in my life when so many things felt uncertain. I was facing a job change that I didn’t feel ready for or that I had a choice in. The trickle-down effect from the stress was affecting my sleep, my family, and my overall own wellbeing. The first time I met Shannon she was an instant comfort.  I felt seen, heard, and at ease immediately. I didn’t feel ready for what I was about to embark on, but she assured me I could handle it and that it would all work out. She was right. I worked with Shannon for 2 years after that. Her energy is amazing, and her determination, patience, and confidence are inspiring. Always a leader, but most importantly a leader that is also a team player. Always wanting what is best for every single person - not just herself. The time came again when I felt conflicted in my career, so I reached out again to discuss my fears and my desires. Shannon helped push me to see that I was more than capable of taking another leap and furthermore that I would come to regret it if I didn’t. She was right again. I took the leap and I know for certain I would have regretted it if I hadn’t. It was her belief in me, her ability to help me see myself in a different light that got me where I am. I am forever grateful to have a person like Shannon in my corner - as a mentor and now as a friend.”
