LEARN MORE ABOUT SHAWN AND THE TEAM

I am a native of Buffalo, NY, and grew up in the suburb of Cheektowaga, to a blue-collar mother and father. As an only child, I spent my time "on the go," learning life's lessons in real time. The lessons I speak of were not only pivotal in my upbringing but have also been passed down to my two children, who now embody them and represent the validity of my life’s philosophy.

Certified in Public Speaking by IAP Career College, my background enriches my engagements, allowing me to weave the fabric of my personal experiences with professional and management skills in my speaking engagements and workshops.

DONT JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Here's what our valued clients have to say about their transformative experiences and the impact it has had on their personal and professional growth

"I have worked with Shawn in various roles over the past 16 years. His level of passion and dedication is rare and shows through in every position he’s held; from field worker through his current role in supervision. This alone sets Shawn apart but add to it his drive to learn and grow personally and take those experiences and share them with others purely from a position of helping - a rare combination of traits becomes exceptionally unique. For these reasons, Shawn has become a friend and confidant who isn’t afraid to communicate tough messages that keep me and our team on track and always striving to improve." - Bill Snyder Assistant Vice President National Fuel Gas Distribution Operations

 "I am writing to thank you for the outstanding presentation you gave to our supervisory group at Holimont ski Resort.  As a result of your presentation, we have had such positive feedback from everyone who attended.

 

There has been a motivational shift and encouraging change in our workplace since the speech.  Among the comments we heard from the participants are; Trusting, relatable and engaging.  I would recommend Shawn to anyone looking to grow both personally and professionally." - Mark Burkhard Holimont 

"I’ve known Shawn for several years and not a day goes by where I don’t look forward to sharing heartfelt and inspirational conversations with him. Shawn is someone who will leave lasting impressions with you and influence you in many positive ways. He speaks from the heart in such a genuine and trustworthy manor that you are just drawn to him. Once you meet Shawn, you become eager to converse with him and hear what he has to share. His discussions often resonate with you and inspire you to improve any situation you may be experiencing. Through adversity, Shawn is able to blend life experiences with achieved knowledge and provide you with a passionate conversation beyond all others. He's a good man with his heart in the right place." - Scott Linhardt Safety Manager National fuel

"I recently attended a presentation by Shawn Horton and was blown away. He spoke with empathy, caring, and integrity, sharing both the good and the bad. As someone who has attended many self-help seminars, I highly recommend attending one of Shawn's presentations. You won't be disappointed." - Bob Stawicki
