A FRESH APPROACH
TO LIFE COACHING
I offer speaking services that uniquely blend personal and professional insights, drawing from my own experiences to deeply connect with my audience. Whether in a 90-minute workshop or a 6-hour session, I create an intimate and impactful environment for personal growth and overcoming adversities. My approach transforms these workshops from mere events into transformative experiences, offering practical strategies for personal and professional success.
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

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.
