"Shannon has given me the tools, resources and confidence to uncover my "Second Act". I knew I wanted change but didn't know which path to take and how to start. Shannon's coaching course helped me narrow down my 100 ideas to what my true passion and purpose is. I am in my 40's and I don't know how I could have made this big transition without her patience, guidance and support. It is never too late to find your true purpose and start your Second Act."
-Karen D

What Clients Are Saying...

"When making the change from the demanding "professional" world to being a stay at home mom, I found my passion behind a lens. I was all over the place, then I found Shannon. She was everything I never knew I was looking for! When I first started my second career, things were hectic and I wasn't always 100% sure what my next step should be. As any amazing coach should do, Shannon helped me streamline my focus, promote my best self, endure through the trying moments, and she has truly been one of my biggest cheerleaders. Shannon, as my coach was the shoulder I didn't even realize I needed to lean on! I truly wouldn't be where I am today without her sound advice, creative strategies, and most importantly her extremely valued friendship!"

What Is YouMap®?

“In my last job I had a lot of mixed feelings. There were things I really liked about the job, but it wasn't the work I wanted to be doing. After using the YouMap® process to discover my strengths it helped me focus on the type of job I was looking for. After I was at my new job about a year-and-a-half I got totally surprised by a promotion, which was really nice, and just an affirmation that, 'Yeah, you're on the right track, you're doing a good job. We appreciate you.’"

MICHELLE R.

client testimonial:

“I sent my YouMap® to a potential employer along with my resume. They said they would like to meet to make sure the job is the right fit for me. Little did I know that because of including YouMap with my resume, my employer already knew I would be a fit for the team. They just wanted to meet me in person and make sure I would like the work they want to give me. The "interview" felt more like a conversation because they didn't need to ask me the basic questions. After our first talk, they said they'd love to hire me ASAP and to expect an offer letter in the next couple of days. The offer letter arrived the next afternoon! It was INCREDIBLE!”
