SHANNON MCKAIN

Create understanding. Foster inclusion. Nurture a winning culture. Bridge the great divide.

For more than a decade, workplace culture expert, Shannon McKain, has motivated audiences to make changes for the better in their professional and personal lives. A gifted speaker, McKain’s authenticity and her ability to intimately connect with an auditorium filled with employees and executives aren’t performance art — she’s the real deal.

Before traveling the country to influence others, McKain was in her audience’s shoes, working in the corporate world where she saw, and even experienced herself, how The Great Divide impacted growth and success among her peers.

Calling on that past, she openly shares personal stories and her own encounters with culture issues in ways that not only build trust and empathy with her audience, they result in dramatic mindset shifts that help drive dynamic transformations within an organization.

Those fortunate enough to experience a Shannon McKain presentation gain a wealth of skills to respect individual differences and use them to build a stronger company culture that promotes retention, fulfillment and shared success goals. This is what it takes to bridge The Great Divide. This is her mission.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

DREAM IT, MAP IT, REACH IT

For everyone who’s been told or ever felt that their aspiration was just a pipe dream, Shannon delivers the how-to of “getting there.” From personal hardships, life lessons and losing her mother to cancer, Shannon has developed Six Signs of Positivity to help folks of all ages overcome self-doubt, toxic people and adversity, with the goal of creating-not just dreaming about-the life they desire.

WHAT DO HEALTH & FITNESS HAVE TO DO WITH SUCCESS?

Who’s got time to exercise and eat healthy? YOU do! Young adults have the power to take charge of these important aspects of their lives-more than they give themselves credit for! Shannon has learned that success begins with a positive attitude, and a positive attitude begins inside. Faced with juggling non-stop road trips, hotel living, and running a business, Shannon was inspired to develop a tried and true method for maintaining health, wellness and wellbeing. In this program, she shares it all.

ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE: HOW DIFFERENT GENERATIONS WORK

With up to four generations working side-by-side in many workplaces, it’s imperative for employees and management to understand how different generations think and act on the job, and on the client side. In this program, Shannon explores how to build bridges rather than barriers between generations when it comes to interoffice communication, client prospecting and marketing to existing and new clients.

IN IT TO WIN IT- GETTING WHAT YOU WANT (AND WHAT YOU DESERVE)

Shannon’s work as a recruiter, along with her own job-hunting experiences, have made her an excellent resource for job seekers. In this presentation, she shares trade secrets, as well as “use-it-this-afternoon” advice, about finding and landing the perfect job and standing out from the competition in this challenging economy.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE WORKPLACE: WHAT’S YOUR EIQ?

Spend an afternoon with an expert in the field of Emotional Intelligence-Shannon Oleen. She’ll give your employees the tools to identify, assessing and control their own personality and to work with the variety of personalities they encounter in the workplace. Her Four Square approach will help everyone increase his or her social and emotional I.Q.

DEFINING YOUR PERSONAL BRAND: MERGING WHAT THEY SEE WITH WHO YOU ARE

How positive is the first impression you make? Whether you’re meeting a new friend or a potential new boss, be sure you’re sending the best message possible about yourself to others-your success depends on it! In this program, Shannon helps young adults explore how to optimize their “personal brand” to achieve success in every aspect of life.
