CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS MAJOR MILESTONE - 25 YEARS!

"I first met Shannon when she worked with us as a consultant for an annual Global Leadership Meeting. Her work set the stage for pushing silo's together and working towards a more unified team. In that situation my Partner (Patti Biehle) and I left with additional tools in our toolbox that we could pull out as needed for team building, individual coaching and leadership development.

After that work we were able to hire Shannon as an Executive Coach for one of our key new leaders. They were moved into the role of a VP without previous experience at that level and Shannon was able to assist with their assimilation and growth into the role.

Finally, I joined Shannon's zoom meetings throughout the COVID lockdown. On a personal level I found this to be the most fulfilling work I experienced. Her leadership and experience and the ability to interact with other professionals like her was critical to my mental health in a very difficult time. I will always appreciate her for what she did for so many of us.

I am retired now and enjoying life after career. I do think of Shannon and consider her a major influence on my life and on my career.

I wish you 25 more years of growth and success in whatever you plan to do."
