Shonna Amos, MA, CPC, PCC

About Shonna:

I’m on a mission to help professionals in and outside of organizations Explore What’s Possible®️ for their personal and professional lives. 

Why Coaching

I love coaching- it lights me up- mainly because it’s all about the client.  I’m walking on the journey with the client and invested but I hold true to the fact that it’s their journey and they are leading the way. 

Working with Shonna

My style is grounded in active listening and empathy, with a strong focus on forward movement. Oftentimes clients say they feel comfortable quickly or feel they can open up and be honest with me. I don’t take that lightly and don’t take it for granted.  It’s important that clients feel the space is truly safe for them to show up authentically.

I support individuals and groups, within and outside of organizations, with professional and personal exploration and leadership development that goes beyond theory and mantras by putting strategic steps into action to achieve actionable change. I pride myself on putting my clients first, and creating a safe space to dive deep and explore.
