What People Say About Shannon…
“Working with Shannon as my coach was both delightful and helpful. She assisted me in identifying what was holding me back- what my fears were – so that I could chart a faithful path forward. And, while coaching necessarily includes honesty and good, hard work, our sessions were woven together with laughter and joy. I am very grateful for the work we did together.”
