What People Are Saying.
“
[Shawn] helps me take all the crazy ideas, thoughts, and game plans I have in my head and sorts them out with me. Funny thing is, I do all the work. She doesn't give me my answers, she just helps guide me to them.

Through reflective listening, empathy and the ability to give honest and direct feedback Shawn enables me to answer my own questions and resolve my issues to a positive result.

— DEAN W.
“
I was always hesitant to invest in a coach, afraid that I would not see results, but after working with Shawn I regret not doing it sooner. In 8 months I have grown my self-confidence, learned how to have and take control of difficult conversations with leadership, and positioned myself for a promotion. I would not have excelled in these areas as quickly as I did if I was not working with Shawn. Investing in a coach is an investment in yourself and it is absolutely worth it.
