Litigator. Firefighter. Leader.
What I've learned from the heat-and how it can ignite your Leadership.
I've led teams into burning buildings, and into the courtroom.
Now, I help leaders and their teams perform under pressure, build resilience, and create unflappable confidence.
It all starts with a Conversation
I Help Leaders Gain Clarity, Courage & Confidence
when the Pressure hits, they have the deep resilience to command in the heat of the fire.
I work with:
- Leaders who aren't afraid of discomfort
- Leadership teams who want to build trust and resilience
- High-Performing professionals ready to lead with more courage and clarity than they thought possible
- Organizations seeking transformative keynote speakers
It starts with a conversation.
Command Under Pressure Isn't a Theory. It's My Lived Reality.
When your decisions can save lives-or sway a jury-clarity, confidence, and courage aren't optional. I've spent over 2 decades balancing two high stakes worlds: firefighting and litigation. Both demand composure in the chaos, unshakable trust, and a deep understanding of human behavior.
Whether I'm leading a team through the heat of a fire or a team through the chaos of an emergency, I bring the same wisdom and tools:
Trust your inner wisdom, Execute despite not knowing all the answers, Communicate with confidence.
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Lt. Shannon
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".
When you want to perform at your highest potential without sacrificing what's important, contact me.

"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."
- Wendy Sue Cirello
Shannon is an incredible leader with a unique background, perspective, and skill set. She brings life leadership skills to teams and individuals which validates each person's authentic gifts and bring forth your best self to life and work.
- Cooper Morrison
Shannon's leadership training was a blast! Not only did it push my physical, mental, and emotional boundaries in the best way possible, it allowed me to see how my relationship to those challenges show up in my leadership skills and business. I got to experience on a visceral level my biggest strengths as a leader as well as see opportunities for growth. Shannon split us up into firefighter "squads" that really shed light on how I show up on teams. It was a very valuable experience that helped me become a more effective leader.
