Shannon worked with us to help define the culture in our office by identifying and implementing our firm’s collected values. She has a thoughtful and all-inclusive approach to team building and helped us focus on what it means to work together...I'd recommend Shannon to other firms like ours. This culture work is definitely needed in our profession!

We brought Shannon into LinkedIn to run an Experiential Learning Workshop for our Sales team. I needed a fun team bonding event to build connective tissue, and help us get better at our jobs. Shannon led a fun and impactful session bringing exercises to teach awareness, active listening, openness to change, thinking on your Feet, saying "Yes, and..."! Shannon understood our business objectives and delivered on all our goals with positive energy and humor.

I’ve had the great pleasure to work with Shannon through Enlivened Studios on two different occasions. The experience she was able to deliver to a group of adult learning leaders, as well as senior-level field leaders, was more than we could have asked her. Her quick-witted style and ability to get a group to think on their toes are quite impressive.

Every session she’s led has left our team motivated and inspired, with employees eagerly asking for her return...
