About Shanna

Hi, I'm Shanna. I have been coaching and mentoring leaders for over fifteen years, with a passion for making authentic connections and helping leaders navigate their most complex people challenges. In 2024, I launched my own coaching business, merging my extensive HR experience with my passion for authentic human connection and a relentless drive to help others achieve their goals. More about me: - I spent more than 15 years coaching and mentoring leaders in a corporate setting in various HR Business Partner roles, in tech, consumer product, and fintech industries. - I have a Professional Coaching Certification (CPC) through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), which is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). - I am a Master Practitioner in a proprietary self-assessment tool called the Energy Leadership Index, which identifies the filters through which we approach life and provides insights into our beliefs and blocks. - I have a Bachelor’s Degree from University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with dual Majors in Management and Economics. I have a Masters Degree from the University of Minnesota in Human Resources and Industrial Relations. - I’ve completed 2 marathons, 2 half Ironmans, and 2 century rides, among numerous other running, biking, and triathlon events. - I met my husband through a running group! We’ve been married five years and live in the beautiful city of San Francisco. - My husband and I decided to leave our jobs for a travel year when my daughter was 18 months old. We signed up for a Home Exchange platform, and have visited Japan, Mexico, Spain, Alaska, Panama, Uruguay, and Argentina. I believe travel is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves.
