Shannon's Leadership Story

Episode 5 · Purpose · 11 min  ·  2025

Shannon shares the key experiences and choices that shaped her as a leader -- from a decade in global public health to coaching, facilitation, and founding Lead for Good. A personal, honest conversation about purpose, identity, and what it means to build a leadership practice from the inside out.


What you’ll take away

Shannon's path -- from public health to coaching -- illustrates how the through-line of your leadership is not always visible in the moment, but becomes clear in retrospect.

The experiences that shaped you as a leader are not separate from your professional identity -- they are the source of your distinctive contribution and your deepest credibility.

Knowing your own leadership story -- including the hard parts -- helps you show up with authenticity and helps others trust that your leadership comes from somewhere real.
