Shawn's Story and Process

Finding the right coach matters.

Like you, leadership expert and business coach Shawn Meredith has seen the word leadership defined numerous ways over the years. Is it charisma and positive thinking? Are there born leaders or can they be made? Decisiveness? Is it all about the situation? Luck? Is it meant only for the chosen few who rise to the top? Or, is there a different story?

Shawn has served as an executive coach internationally for sales teams, start-up entrepreneurs, small business, young emerging leaders, non-profit leaders, corporate team leaders, and executives. He is well regarded by his clients for his ability to clearly understand complex relationship systems, to adeptly work with his clients to successfully navigate those systems, and for his hands-on coaching method that brings out the best in both the individual and the team at large. His style is described as a practical, objectively insightful fusion of real-life stories and advanced theory that connects with his audience at an intimate, intense and uniquely individual level.

With over 15 years of executive coaching, training, and most importantly, real-life, in-the-trenches management experience, his view is radically different from most “leadership experts”. Shawn appreciates, and shares with his clients, that leadership is a moment-to-moment choice that is more than title, tenure, or position. Leadership is a fundamentally human experience.  Additionally, Shawn understands that people are not robots. Creative solutions and good plans alone will not empower a team to succeed. Leadership is understanding the plan as well as the people to implement a consistent strategy that builds the ideal future.
