THE BOLD

Executive Leadership Coach to Founders & Family Owned Businesses

KATIE SHANNON

HIGH PERFORMANCE & half-alive IS NOT YOUR LEGACY.

Most coaches understand business. Katie is not most coaches.

Very few understand what it takes to build one with the people you love or what leading them without fracturing the relationship actually requires.

Katie has spent her career inside those rooms: from planning weddings for high-net-worth families at the Four Seasons, where the budget was never the most complicated thing to manage, to running operations inside a family office and co-founding a company alongside one.

Through her coaching practice, she has brought rare fluency to the executives, founders, and family business leaders who are done letting relational complexity limit their legacy.

MORE ABOUT KATIE

  • “Katie totally changed what I thought was accomplishable. I was limited not by my ability, but by my perceptions of what could be built and achieved. Katie pushed me to realize that those limitations were created by me, and keeping me and the company I was leading limited.”

    -Ajay K.

  • "Katie cuts through the bullshit and makes you feel safe at the same time."

    - Stephanie

  • “I don’t know where we’d be today if it weren’t for Katie and the work we’ve done together. I don’t even recognize my partners that were in the room when we began this process.”

    - Adrian

  • “By highlighting self-sabotaging patterns I had fallen into, Katie was able to birth new growth in me which in turn helped grow my organization and readied us for acquisition.”

    - Brian

  • “So grateful for all of the love and energy Katie put in every day to help guide us in the right direction. We’ve grown a massive amount.”

    - Jasper

  • "Katie brings raw authenticity, which is a rare talent. You often get a desensitized version of what you must do to move forward and create a new path. Katie is able to do a deep dive into your most vulnerable thoughts and share them with you in an unfiltered yet kind fashion."

    -Marco

  • “There are people that scale businesses. Katie scales people.”

    - Allison
