SPEAKING THAT OPENS SOMETHING UP
I love conversations that allow us to see something differently.
The kind that create those “aha” moments, where something doesn’t just make sense in our heads, it lands in the body. We feel it. We know it.
That’s what I bring to the stage - real conversation, practical insights and a heap of relatable content.
No pretending we have it all figured out. Just an opportunity to create space for something to shift.
What I Speak About
From survival mode to self-leadership
Breaking the cycle of overthinking and chronic stress
Rebuilding self-trust during life's transitions
Understanding your unique blueprint through the Gene Keys
Understanding your child's unique blueprint through the Gene Keys
Unlocking purpose, potential and what's next
"Shauna's dedication to seeing others thrive through her work with the Gene Keys is second to none! She uniquely supports others in understanding themselves in a more meaningful way while also keeping their own personal experience of their strengths and challenges at the forefront of every conversation she guides so that no part of themselves is bypassed or left behind, whether individually or within a larger audience.
As a speaker and leader she balances softness with conciseness, passion with purpose and expertise with a deep desire for continued evolution.
My time with her in exploring my Gene Keys was enlightening, affirming and highly practical. I'm excited to put the information I now hold to good use and to see others do the same. What a gift!"

“As a lawyer and senior executive I am a high performer, accustomed to working under pressure. I have often struggled to switch off and find balance. Like many lawyers, I am susceptible to over thinking, driven by training and a profession that demands perfection, risk mitigation and attention to detail. Working with Shauna has helped me to recognise and address the downsides of over-using these strengths.
Shauna has a very practical, direct approach and quickly helped me to recognise some patterns affecting how I was working and making decisions. Through her structured yet flexible approach I developed a self-awareness and emotional regulation that has directly enhanced my performance at work. I am clearer in my thinking, more decisive under pressure and more effective in my communication - particularly in high stakes situations.
Importantly, I feel able to maintain a high level of performance without feeling constantly stretched or at a risk of burnout.
I would strongly recommend Shauna to any law firm looking to support sustained high performance in their people whilst protecting their wellbeing.”

"Shauna has an incredible ability to make the Gene Keys feel both practical and deeply personal. Her thoughtful teaching and relatable examples helped me understand myself in a completely new way. Throughout the workshop I kept thinking, 'That explains so much.' I left feeling inspired, curious, and with a much greater sense of clarity about who I am and how my experiences have shaped me. It was a warm, insightful experience that has stayed with me long after the workshop ended."
