Leadership in the Heat

and

Pressure of Uncertainty

 

 

Let's start the conversation that will change everything

Uncertainty isn't something to wait out but an opportunity to strategically leverage.

 

I help Leaders and Teams Expand their power & Influence by increasing their capacity to perform under high stakes and high pressure situations.

 

Then I help you connect tenderly and supportively so your team runs into the proverbial burning buildings with you.

What could you accomplish with a deeper capacity to perform under pressure?

Litigator. Firefighter. Leader.

 

Command Under Pressure

This isn't a theory. It's my lived experience.  

True leadership is the ability to confidently execute despite not having all the answers or all the data.  Not because you will always be right.

You won't.

Because real leadership is about "DOING HARD BETTER" not waiting for it to be easier. 

Real leadership is about making decisions when you want to wait for more data/information and the pressure is mounting. 

As a former litigation attorney, I traded wearing my pumps at the Courthouse for steel toed and steel shanked boots at the firehouse (at age 39) where I lead teams of firefighters as the first female officer in the history of my Department.

For over three decades, I've performed in intense, often life or death situations, where it was essential that I perform at my best with the additional pressure of being the "first" and the "only".

I'm an expert on Leadership in the heat of pressure and uncertainty.  I support successful leaders and teams who are seeking to 

  • Deepen team trust whether in a new team, a team currently experiencing struggle or a team that is excelling and wanting to reach an even higher level of performance;
  • Expand creativity & collaboration for teams hitting a plateau;
  • Improve engagement and productivity because that drives everything.
It all starts with a conversation.

I’m not a fan of trust building exercise, but found Shannon’s program totally transformative. This is not a "trust exercise"! I left the day feeling more equipped to face uncertain and seemingly risky situations. I am an endurance athlete and used what I learned from Shannon to successfully complete a difficult 50K race just a few days after. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in taking their leadership game to a higher level.

This is no workshop. This is not a training. It’s a full body and mind-blowing experience.
Shannon taught me how to locate and access wisdom I didn’t even know I had in me.

Shannon's leadership training was a blast!  I got to experience on a visceral level my biggest strengths as a leader as well as see opportunities for growth.  It was a very valuable experience that helped me become a more effective leader.
