About Shanna

Leadership begins with how you lead yourself.

Certified Leadership Coach Real Estate Advisor

For nearly two decades, I have worked in rooms where decisions matter. Advising clients. Negotiating deals. Building businesses. Leading people through change. And somewhere along the way, I became increasingly interested in the person behind the decision.

About Shanna

A career shaped by people, decisions and the courage to evolve.

For nearly two decades, my career has been built around people, decisions and transition.

As a real estate advisor, I have guided clients through some of the largest financial and personal decisions of their lives. I have negotiated complex transactions, worked across residential and commercial real estate, led teams, built businesses and organized international events.

But experience taught me something that eventually changed the direction of my own work: the biggest decisions are rarely only about the decision in front of us.

They are about identity. Confidence. Energy. Leadership. The stories we have outgrown and the person we are becoming next.

That realization led me to iPEC and Core Energy Coaching, where I became a Certified Professional Coach and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner.

Today, I bring those two worlds together.

I am a Certified Leadership Coach and Real Estate Advisor, working with accomplished women, entrepreneurs and professionals navigating growth, change and the moments when the life they have built no longer fully reflects who they are becoming.

My coaching is not about giving someone a formula for her life. It is about creating the space to see more clearly: the patterns influencing her decisions, the beliefs she may have outgrown, the energy she is bringing into the room and the possibilities she may not yet be allowing herself to consider.

Because leadership isn’t only about managing a team or running a business.

It is how we make decisions when the answer isn’t obvious. How we respond when circumstances change. How we trust ourselves under pressure. How we decide what deserves our energy. And ultimately, how we choose what comes next.

That is the work I care about.

At some point, success stops being about proving what you can accomplish and starts becoming a question of whether what you are building still belongs to you.

Begin a Conversation

What are you ready to
lead differently?

Whether you are navigating a career shift, growing a business, redefining success or simply realizing that what worked before no longer fits, sometimes the most important conversation is the one that creates enough space to hear yourself again.

Two paths.
One destination.

Every woman arrives differently. These two offerings meet you exactly where you are.

I The Signature Container

The
3-Month
Journey

This isn't a course. It isn't a program with a generic roadmap. It's a personalized, deeply intimate space, built entirely around you — your energy, your chapter, and the life you're ready to step into.

  • Twice-monthly one-on-one coaching sessions with Shanna
  • ELI Assessment + full debrief included
  • Between-session reflection & accountability
  • Personalized energy leadership practices
  • Direct access to Shanna throughout
  • A transformation, not a transaction

II The Entry Point

The
ELI
+ Debrief

Before you can transform your energy, you have to understand it. The Energy Leadership Index is the most precise tool I know for revealing exactly how — and at what level — you're showing up in your life right now.

  • A 20–30 minute online assessment
  • Reveals your profile across the 7 energy levels
  • Identifies your Average Resonating Level (A.R.L.)
  • Shows where energy flows and where it stalls
  • A one-on-one debrief session with Shanna
  • Available exclusively through iPEC-certified coaches
Book Your ELI →

Not a personality
test. A map of
your energy.

The Energy Leadership Index measures what no other assessment touches: how you actually show up, energetically, in every area of your life — including under pressure.

Myers-Briggs tells you who you are. DiSC tells you how you behave. The ELI reveals the energetic frequency you operate from, and where that frequency is costing you.

The ELI Difference

✦  A research-backed attitudinal assessment

✦  Proprietary — available only through iPEC-certified coaches

✦  Reveals how you show up under stress vs. at rest

✦  Endorsed by the Forbes Coaches Council

✦  Followed by a one-on-one debrief with Shanna — your roadmap in detail

The ELI is where transformation begins. It's the most honest mirror many women have ever held up to their energy — and the most empowering.

Ready to see where your energy is taking you — and where it isn't?
The ELI Assessment takes 20–30 minutes online. The debrief changes everything.

“If the version of you already living the life you desire walked into the room, which standards would she refuse to lower? That answer becomes the roadmap.”
Coach Shanna

Words from women
who chose to
change.

"

Working with Shanna gave me something I hadn't had in years — clarity. Not the kind you force, but the kind that settles in when someone finally asks you the right questions. I arrived feeling stuck. I left knowing exactly which direction I was ready to walk in.

"

The ELI assessment was one of the most revealing things I've ever done. Seeing where my energy was actually operating, versus where I thought it was, was both humbling and completely freeing. Shanna's debrief was thorough, warm, and exactly what I needed to move forward.

Shanna, the coaching experience

“A space where nothing needs to be performed.”

What it's like
to work with
Shanna.

This isn't a space where you're handed a plan and sent on your way. It's a conversation — one that continues from session to session, through the quiet weeks, and in the moments when the work asks the most of you.

Shanna's coaching is warm and precise. She listens deeply. She holds space for the full complexity of who you are — the accomplished professional, the woman in doubt, the one who knows something has to change.

You will be seen. You will be challenged — gently, and only when you're ready. And you'll leave every session with something tangible: a new understanding, a tool, a question that changes how you see the week ahead.

Deeply personalized

No two journeys look alike. Your coaching is built around your energy, your life, and where you're ready to grow.

Evidence-based

Grounded in iPEC's Core Energy Coaching methodology and the research-backed ELI framework — not intuition alone.

Quietly transformative

The shifts are real, lasting, and felt in every area of your life — not only the one you started with.

Energy

Energy leadership
for mothers

Awareness. Choice. Gentle shifts.

This workshop is for the mother who has given everything and is ready to learn to lead her home from a different frequency. Not with more effort. With more energy literacy.

We explore the 7 energy levels through the lens of motherhood: what each level looks like in the kitchen, in the carpool, in the quiet moment when patience runs thin. And then, how to move through it — not suppress it.

Because energy is contagious. Children regulate to their primary caregiver. This work is legacy work.

You don't need to know
exactly where you're going.
You only need to begin.

A discovery call isn't a sales call. It's a conversation, pressure-free, honest, and entirely yours. We'll talk about where you are, what you're feeling, and whether this work is right for you. There's no pressure. There's only the possibility that this conversation is the one that changes everything.
