About Me
KEY NOTE SPEAKER, CHEF, AND GLOBAL CONSULTANT
I’ve always seemed to be attracted to ‘broken things’. It started at a young age, when my mother asked, “Shane, what would you like to be when you grow up?” and I innocently told her, with a straight face, and the blind confidence that only a 6-year-old could have, “I want to be a tow-truck driver”. That night – any toys that looked like tow trucks disappeared from my house, and strict study times became a major part of my parentally approved schedule.
You see, what my parents never understood is WHY. Most businesses don’t understand the WHY, and as a coach, I often work with people who are stuck on this very same notion. Every text on persuasion and presenting says to “Know your audience”, but the smartest of the bunch will always first check what they are trying to achieve. It’s taken me a long time to figure out what I enjoy, and during those years I’ve enjoyed success in many industries with clients as small as the neighborhood convenience store, to the largest smartphone manufactures in the world. What did I learn along this journey? Nothing is more important to your success than the ability to tell a story.
Today, I seek opportunities that allow me to share my storytelling experience to help people achieve their most important goals. This takes many forms, from designing the script for an MC at a wedding to delivering masterclasses on how to use storytelling to improve business process. To date, I’ve been fortunate enough to have created some successful start-ups, design and renovate properties, contribute to my peer group through mentoring and coaching, and design instructional programs for the Fortune 500.
At this point in my life, I’d like to find out what other projects are out there – where I could help bring my energy so that everyone can succeed. I try to approach things with a new perspective, and always remember that above all else; it’s the journey that determines if your team feels the project is a success and not just the end result. If you are looking to think differently about the way you approach your next project, let’s chat – and see if we can start a journey together.

“That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.”
“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.”
