Firefighter.
Litigator.
Leader.
What heat taught me about pressure, trust and leadership and how it can ignite yours.
Let's start the conversation that will change everything
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 exceptional leaders and teams expand their influence by connecting tenderly and supportively so their team runs into burning buildings with them.
What could you accomplish with a deeper capacity to perform under pressure?
I Help Leaders build Trust, expand their power & Execute confidently in uncertain times
I work with:
- Leaders who understand discomfort is a requirement
- Leaders who aren't looking for "easy" but to DO HARD BETTER
- Leadership teams who want to build trust and resilience
- High-Performing professionals ready to lead with more self-trust, power and courage than they thought possible
- Organizations seeking transformative keynote speakers
It starts with a conversation.
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 be easier.
I'm an expert on Leadership in the heat. I support successful leaders and teams who are seeking to
- Create trust in a new team or a team currently experiencing struggle
- Expand creativity & collaboration
- Improve engagement and productivity
Whether I'm leading a team through the heat of a fire, the chaos of an emergency, or the intensity of making decisions in an unstable environment, I bring the same wisdom and tools:
- Trust your inner wisdom despite its quieter voice
- Execute despite not knowing all the answers, (Anyone can lead with all the answers) and
- Communicate with confidence not because you know all the answers but because you will assess and make the hard, necessary decisions.
Let's Connect
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".
Leaders work with me when they are seeking more creative collaboration, more trust and higher productivity from their teams.
"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 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.

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.

I’m not a fan of trust building exercise, but found Shannon’s program totally transformative. 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.
