Insight ~ Inspiration ~ Implementation

“I have had the pleasure of working with and learning from Shannon for several years. I’ve enlisted her to run workshops, give inspiring keynotes and help develop organizational strategies. Through this wide variety of experiences, Shannon’s integrity and commitment to the overall vision and goal remains a constant. She uses her vast expertise and coaching skills to help you assess your needs and then applies her know-how to help you find the right solutions and path forward even if it isn’t a fit for Cascade Leadership. I’ve never felt like I was being 'sold' something, I always feel inspired about what is possible -- and that is why I keep coming back.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Shannon for the last 3 years in a couple of capacities, as my personal coach and as part of our company’s coaching pool. Shannon brings a balanced approach to her coaching. What I mean by that is that she is wealth of knowledge when it comes to models, frameworks and assessments and knows when to use those with her clients. However, she also knows when to lean into empathy and compassion to truly listen to her clients and what’s going on for them and meets them where they are. This approach helped me personally and I grew tremendously during my engagement with Shannon both in my leadership skills but also my confidence. Shannon helped me learn that the answers were already within me and helped me find ways to reach those answers on my own. Without Shannon’s partnership and support I wouldn’t be where I’m at today.”

“Shannon and the team at Cascade are superb – creative, effective design of our leadership development program that fits our industry and culture; and professional, engaging delivery. Also, I had my doubts about the ability to take our in-person program to virtual and still maintain the energy and impact; but thanks to Shannon and the team’s ingenious use of various tools, platforms, and experiences, it ‘worked’! It exceeded all my expectations.”
