“The time I spent with Shanna as my executive coach gave me some of the most meaningful growth I’ve had professionally and personally. Shanna not only understands the nuances of systems and complex work, but she also has an acute attention to the humans doing the work. I left each of our coaching sessions with a renewed sense of purpose and pathway forward. When you’re working with Shanna, above all else, you know you are being seen and heard.”

- Sarah Brown Wessling, Director of the National Teacher of the Year Program at the Council of Chief State School Officers
