About Shanna

Hi, I'm Shanna. In 2020, the pandemic compelled us all to pause and reassess our lives. Despite thriving in a rewarding 15 year career in Human Resources, I found myself frustrated by up to 13-hour workdays, constantly counting down to weekends or that elusive vacation week, only to return to an even more chaotic inbox. During this time, I was also navigating the emotional and physical toll of infertility. After a rollercoaster journey, I was fortunate to welcome my beautiful daughter into the world. This life-changing event solidified the realization there was more to life than climbing the corporate ladder. By 2023, I reached a tipping point and made the decision to step away from my corporate role and embark on a long-considered career break. My vision was aspirational: to relax and rejuvenate, cherish moments with my family, travel the globe, and, most importantly, recommit to a career aligned with my true passions. Enrolling in an ICF-accredited coaching program, my original goal was to enhance my HR expertise with new credentials. I was delighted to realize that my coaching journey could evolve beyond my initial expectations. I found a profoundly fulfilling new career path in Coaching when I merged my extensive HR experience with my love for authentic human connection and my passion for helping leaders achieve their goals. Today, I am living a life that aligns with my most ambitious aspirations, and you can achieve the same. Together, we can design a life that reflects your true vision, enabling you to flourish. Let us embark on this transformative and deeply rewarding journey together. I can't wait to work with you! A little 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. I view each client as uniquely talented, with the potential to navigate challenges and thrive. While traditional coaching focuses on setting goals and actions, I use Core Energy™ coaching to address the deeper beliefs that block sustainable change. By shifting your mindset and approach, we’ll tackle the chaos around you—both internal and external—and cultivate a renewed sense of confidence and clarity. This deeper work ensures lasting growth and empowers you to truly flourish.
