Michele Shannon hug

Shannon founded Bridge Between in 2000 with a simple belief: meaningful leadership change begins with honest reflection and intentional action.

Through Bridge Between, she works with organizations around the world through executive coaching, leadership team facilitation, keynote experiences, and mentoring programs.

The work is intentionally high-touch and relationship-centered, built for long-term leadership development rather than one-time interventions.

CONVERSATIONS AND WRITING

Shannon is the host of the archived Return on Generosity (R.O.G.) podcast, a leadership conversation series featuring more than 250 conversations with leaders across industries.

The show began with a simple hypothesis: that generosity may be the defining factor in exceptional leadership. Through hundreds of conversations, that belief was consistently reinforced. Leaders who practice generosity create stronger relationships, deeper trust, and more sustainable results.

These conversations continue to shape Shannon's evolving leadership work, including keynote experiences built around the emerging idea of the Generosity Economy.

Her perspectives have also been featured in leadership publications, interviews, and podcasts focused on generosity, leadership development, and intentional change.

If you are interested in a keynote experience, a leadership engagement, or an executive coaching partnership, I would welcome a conversation.
