Why Book Shannon
Shannon brings a rare combination of C-suite experience, modern leadership insight, and practical tools leaders can use immediately. As a former CMO and certified executive coach, she understands the pressure of today’s fast-moving environments and what it takes to stay clear and steady when the stakes are high.
Her keynotes go beyond motivation. Shannon teaches leaders how to think more clearly, break reactive patterns, and lead themselves first so they can lead everything else better. Audiences walk away with simple, real-time strategies they can apply the moment the session ends.
Known for her grounded and interactive style, Shannon creates room for honest reflection and practical skill-building. Leaders leave feeling challenged, supported, and prepared to show up with the clarity and presence today’s world demands.
Shannon has a presence that shifts the room. She is calm, confident and real and somehow says what you didn't know you needed to hear.

The Micromoment Reset™
Master the moment. Change everything.
Even the most successful leaders can feel like they are moving so fast they are no longer fully leading themselves. That isn’t failure. It’s a signal — and it’s where the reset begins.
Based on Shannon’s book The Micromoment Reset™: Master the Moment, Master Your Life, this session introduces a practical, research-informed method for interrupting autopilot, reclaiming agency, and responding with clarity instead of reactivity.
Blending real-world executive experience with actionable insights, Shannon teaches the ABC 123 Method™ — a simple, real-time reset that helps leaders pause with purpose, think more clearly, and choose their next move with intention.
Ideal for conference mainstages, leadership summits, employee experience events, and culture-forward organizations, this keynote equips high achievers to break reactive patterns, increase intentionality, and lead themselves — and others — with steadier presence in today’s fast-paced world.
Audience will walk away with:
A simple, real-time framework to reset without stepping away or slowing down
Tools to interrupt autopilot and take intentional action in everyday moments
Micro-habits that create clarity, energy, and sustainable momentum

Take the Lead™
The Modern Leadership Playbook for today’s pace, pressure, and complexity.
Leadership today is happening in real time. Expectations keep rising. Change never stops. And the old playbook no longer applies. Most leaders are delivering results — but many are still leading from a reactive place rather than an intentional one.
Take the Lead™ is the call to shift that. It’s where leaders stop running on default and start leading with clarity and purpose again.
In this keynote, Shannon introduces The Modern Leadership Playbook™ — her five-dimension model for leading with steadiness, impact, and intention in a high-pressure world:
-
Lead Self
-
Lead Work
-
Lead People
-
Lead Change
-
Lead Forward
Through story, strategy, and grounded executive insight, Shannon shows leaders how to move from reactivity to clarity — making better decisions, staying composed under pressure, and showing up with consistent presence where it matters most.
Ideal for conference mainstages, leadership summits, and executive forums, Take the Lead™ gives high achievers a practical, repeatable blueprint for leading themselves, their teams, and their organizations with more clarity, purpose, and modern leadership skill.
Audience will walk away with:
Tools to regain a sense of control in how they work, live, and engage with themselves and others.
Strategies to cut through noise and decision fatigue to focus on what drives impact. (Clarity)
Practices for leading from inner authority instead of external pressure or urgency. (Authority)
Techniques to stay present and composed under pressure — showing up steady and authentic when it matters most. (Presence)
The Weight We Carry
How high-achieving women can lead with clarity and capacity in a world that never slows down.
High-achieving women don’t just lead — they carry. The expectations. The decisions. The emotional labor. The logistics. The invisible work that keeps teams, families, and entire organizations moving. They do it exceptionally well, but often without space, without margin, and without a framework that acknowledges the full scope of their leadership.
The Weight We Carry™ offers a grounded, modern reframe of what it means to lead as a woman today — not by asking women to do more, but by helping them reclaim clarity, agency, and the capacity to lead in a way that is both sustainable and strategic.
Through story, insight, and honest reflection, Shannon helps women name what leadership has asked of them, understand the cost of carrying it all, and choose a more intentional way forward.
Grounded in her R.I.S.E. Framework, this keynote guides women to:
-
Release what no longer belongs on their plate
-
Identify what truly deserves their time, attention, and talent
-
Strengthen shared responsibility and equitable leadership
-
Energize their leadership with clarity, presence, and renewed capacity
Designed for women’s summits, leadership conferences, ERGs, and culture-focused events, The Weight We Carry™ gives high-achieving women a practical path to lead with more clarity, capacity, and intention — without sacrificing their ambition, their presence, or themselves.
Audience will walk away with:
Insight into the invisible load they carry and what it’s really costing them
A redefined view of leadership that honors both their strength and their limits
Tools to reconnect with voice, values, and self-trust
Permission—and the courage—to lead in a way that includes themselves

Stories That Land
