Here’s what some of my clients have to say.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:
Shannon’s coaching helped me identify what is important to me as a brand. She helped me understand how I want to present myself and my brand to the public. She partnered with me and supported me outside of our coaching time by looking for new PR opportunities for me along the way. She was able to help me land media coverage. I highly recommend working with Shannon to help you with your PR and marketing needs to grow your business.

Shannon has a unique set of skills that she brings so effortlessly to her coaching practice. She shows a remarkable amount of patience with her clients, has a great insight into human psychology and behaviour, and has an ability to help her clients gain a great clarity on what they truly value in life.
Shannon has taken me on a journey, guiding me gently all the way. What is most surprising to me is that I’ve worked through both business and life coaching courses beforehand, and none of the courses have ever dug so deeply allowing me to gain such clarity, so much so that within a short period of time I have actually changed my behaviour and am living a more fulfilled, authentic life.
Shannon is now embarking on focusing on my business. I am confident that with her guidance I am about to make some important changes on how I position and market my business, guiding me to be authentic than ever before.

I have loved working with Shannon. Shannon has been great. I didn’t think that coaches need coaches, but they do.
What has been great is that she has been able to keep me on track. She has been able to uncover different values. Her techniques that she uses has opened my eyes to things I didn’t really think I needed, or I needed to use for my business. I just love her enthusiasm. I love how she keeps me on task. I love how we just connect. She is so easy to talk to.
I definitely recommend working with Shannon, especially if you are a coach, or just anyone with a business. She’s great at honing in on “what do you need and let’s work on this right now.” I appreciate that.

Confidence Coach, Amy Marie Inc., USA
I have been drawn to Shannon’s wisdom since the day we met. Her life experience and extensive knowledge around the creative process are a source of inspiration. Shannon is caring, a great listener, and a wonderful speaker. She jumped at the opportunity to help and offered to guide me through a challenging time.
Shannon has an amazing literary rigor; she generously shared her tips to improve my productivity, overcoming my writer’s block.
She builds her approach on redefining one’s top values and honest organization of priorities. Shannon’s guiding light is simple, yet extremely effective: “Follow your heart.” The detailed analysis of this mantra, alongside Shannon’s effective coaching through the lens of my future cookbook requirements, helped me find the words and writing discipline I needed to move my dream project forward.
Merci Shannon.

Shannon gave a media-skills training workshop where I learned a lot about publicizing my ideas. Her advice was particularly helpful as I was facing a multi-hour interview by a magazine journalist. It was good to hear from an experienced person who is positive yet grounded in reality.
Alana Boltwood
Management Consultant & Visual Artist
Shannon’s media training was extremely helpful to me. I knew practically nothing about how to respond to the media before taking her program. She provided me with training to help fill my knowledge gap. And then she interviewed me asking questions that the media might ask and provided me with feedback for me so I could become more comfortable with being “on camera.” It was exactly what I needed to gain the confidence to no longer be uncomfortable with the idea of being interviewed. Thanks to Shannon’s skillful coaching, I also got clarity on my key messages and on my hooks. Thank you Shannon.

Shannon Skinner brought a keen media savvy and real creativity to the projects she helped me with, and I’m happy to recommend her without hesitation.

Not only did Shannon use her skill and contacts to secure lots of print and broadcast exposure for our brand, but the type of exposure we received was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before; in one instance, CityTV (in Toronto) actually sent a reporter and camera crew into a number of our Partner locations to go shopping, demonstrate how easy it would be for consumers to benefit from our program, and interview participating merchants, soliciting their very positive opinions of the program. Needless to say, you can’t buy that sort of publicity; that sort of thing can really only be orchestrated by an experienced PR person like Shannon – who becomes an extension of the brand and imparts her knowledge and enthusiasm to the media, helping to drive the type of “warm & fuzzy”, “did you see that thing on CityTV yesterday” results that paid media often can’t.

Shannon has a unique ability to find the ‘magnet’ in a story or situation that attracts positive attention and interest. Whether aimed at news media or a target audience, her creative communications strategies and detailed execution get results. Shannon brings her own ideas to the table, but will also challenge yours when necessary in a professional style that is business-like, perceptive, accountable and easy-to-work-with.
Allan Reynolds
Former PR agency executive
Shannon Skinner has been of invaluable assistance to us in not only opening our minds to the PR possibilities available and necessary for organizational growth, but has also done her level best to take us by the hand and prepare us for dealing with the press at conference time. It has been a steep learning curve for our executive group to participate in television interviews arranged by Shannon, and deal with reporters and journalists at the conference. Shannon has broadened our horizons and introduced us to use the power of Public Relations in meeting the mandate and goals of our organization.
