Working with Shawn has been a gamechanger. He asks the right questions that make me dig deep and ensure I am laser-focused on what I want to achieve. I believe Shawn's coaching style is unique and differentiates him from the typical coach. I feel that he genuinely cares and pushes me to drive towards being my best self. He doesn't accept wimpy or vague answers and calls me out (in a great way) if I am sliding from what I said I would deliver. Our sessions are filled with laughter as Shawn is not only astute but has a great sense of humour. Whether you are an executive or entrepreneur, Shawn's coaching will accelerate your growth and success both professionally and personally.

Shawn and I have worked on and on for more than a decade. And through that decade, I opened two restaurants in New York City, given two stars by The NY Times, featured in an international documentary, wrote a critically acclaimed best selling cookbook, left a relationship that was not working and now I’m well on my way to becoming POTUS! Well, that last part isn’t in my sights but knowing Shawn, if it were, he’d help me get there. Now, my dreams have always been my own, and he helped me prioritize what was important, encouraged me and helped me get to my dreams with integrity and character. Now, in my second act of this three act play, I’m working with him to find out what I want to commit to as my next projects. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Lead by example. Coach by example. Get results every time. Shawn is the real deal! No gimmicks. No fluff. No lies. Walks the talk, always. I’m so grateful to Shawn for passionately working with me and my teams to dream big, take bite size action every single day towards bringing our individual and collective visions to life, and holding us accountable every step of the way. The journey towards success was and continues to be possible because of Shawn’s unique coaching ability. Thanks, Shawn, for believing in me and inspiring me to go for gold!

Shawn Shepheard was my coach over the past year. He has helped me to change my thinking through discussion, listening and most importantly asking me the right questions. Although at first his questions were tough, as they made me face the truth, they brought me to a higher level of thinking and helped me see what was truly important. Shawn is no nonsense 100% authentic. His strategic mindset and goal- oriented approach brought me to approach work and life with a more positive mindset and strategies to deal with tougher times. I would highly recommend Shawn as a coach, he will bring you to where you always wanted to but didn’t know how.

Shawn has a unique ability to see a bigger and better vision with you and will bring you step-by-step through the journey. You'll see bigger improvement than you ever thought possible. Strap in and enjoy the process!
