ABOUT SHANNON
Every difference maker has two sides. There’s the tough outer shell; the leader seen and experienced from the outside. Then there’s the softer inside; a real human who takes on the world one day and second-guesses every decision the next. Shannon’s sparkling reputation is built on speaking into both sides—and connecting both in a powerful, purpose-driven way.
Shannon’s work has taken her to serve the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy as well as systems and organizations across the Midwest. She is a decorated difference-maker with a passion for seeing leaders thrive in every aspect of their lives.
