Shannon O'Toole Business Coach - Talent Management Services

Lead with clarity.

Build with purpose.

As Seen In

You’re navigating growth, leading a team, and making high-stakes decisions —
and you don’t always have the space (or the sounding board) to step back and see the
big picture.
That’s where I come in.

I provide strategic, high-touch leadership coaching for leaders like you — especially when things feel complex, unclear, or heavy. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your clarity, confidence, and leadership skills so you can lead effectively and intentionally, even when the path forward isn’t obvious.

With a calm, grounded approach, I’ll help you step out of the day-to-day to think critically, recognize patterns, and make values-aligned decisions around hiring, structure, growth, and team development. Coaching with me gives you space to lead with purpose — not just react — and to build the kind of leadership foundation that supports long-term success for you and your team.

Challenges

Find out how Executive Leadership Coaching can help you.

My team wants feedback, but I worry about saying the wrong thing. I’ve avoided it for too long, and now I’m afraid it’s affecting trust — or that I might lose someone valuable.

We’re so focused on keeping things running that we haven’t had time to plan for what’s next. I need space and guidance to think clearly about how to scale our team for long-term growth.

Every decision feels heavy — I wish I had a trusted partner to help me think through it and then hold me accountable for taking the next steps.

I’ve promoted strong doers into leadership roles, but they’re struggling to lead. They need support developing the skills to manage, coach, and inspire others.

Testimonials

We loved working with Shannon! She is incredibly experienced and professional, and her personal service was outstanding. Shannon is a diligent listener with an acute attention to detail. She spent time getting to know me and our company culture, and she helped me determine which personnel needs were a priority before we ever put an action plan into place. It was obvious that she cared about our long-term success, not just filling a position or addressing a short-term concern.

Shannon has a gift for cultivating healthy, productive relationships and developing intentional organizational structures that lead to employee retention and company growth. She approaches each project with a fresh perspective and brings thoughtful, creative, actionable ideas to the table. She is clearly a seasoned expert in her field, but Shannon addressed my needs with respect and attention despite our company’s smaller size. We will absolutely contact Shannon O’Toole Coaching for support as we continue to grow our team!

We engaged Shannon to help us review, streamline and improve our entire employee engagement process. Shannon’s unique combination of deep experience and interpersonal skills creates a blend of proven process and pragmatism that moved our organization forward 10 years in about 3 months.

If you are looking for someone who can ask you the right questions, has heard it all before and blends process with pragmatism, then you want to hire Shannon. She knows the importance of process but understand the pragmatism needed to be nimble in today’s rapidly changing world. She worked with our leadership team and later our entire team to get everyone in the right seat, pulling the same direction and working as a high-performance team, not just a bunch of high-performance individuals.

The reflection part of the feedback process really allowed me to evaluate my level of engagement in my role and the firm. The questions really allowed me to feel like I was looking in a mirror to determine how my talents best served the firm and our clients.
