Connecting with people is what I truly value. In my career I have had the unique pleasure of interviewing hundreds of people. Over the course of time, I have honed my ability to connect quickly and genuinely with the person sitting across the table from me. I was made for this work. This work brings me immense joy, even when I walk my clients through difficult times, my heart fills with the energy it needs to hold tender moments for my clients.  

Prior to officially opening Jessica Shanor Coaching, I owned a consulting firm. Not only am I a certified Life Coach, I am also a certified Master Performance Consultant. I have spent my career studying how people perform in their workspace: what motivates them, what are their barriers to success, how were they trained and equipped to be successful or unsuccessful in their position, how does the work group function toward meeting their goals and deliverables.  

For obvious reasons, I don’t get called upon as a consultant or as a coach, when “things are going well.” Coaching is a commitment. It takes time, money, and a rapport to help someone “move the needle” from just surviving to thriving. I specifically sought out a Life Coach Certification that would equip me to coach anyone, at anytime, with any issue. I was already well versed in leadership and performance improvement initiatives. Adding in the life coaching certification has given me a complete and well-rounded approach to meet the needs of my clients.  

For years I have seen clients who feel alone in their work. They work in high-demand environment that requires them to check their feelings, desires, failures, personality, and life at the door. Crippled with the fear of failure, an individual can only excel so far. I work with my clients to share about the stress and strain of their work, to process personality conflicts with their colleagues, and often to build up their self-confidence so they can achieve the career of their dreams.
