I’m passionate about supporting social impact organizations to bring their collective wisdom, creativity, and strategic thinking to their desired futures. I do this by partnering with my clients to facilitate conversations and processes that are generative, appreciative, and crucial for igniting self-reflection, learning, and action.

Individuals, teams, and organizations are most effective when they build upon their strengths and successes. I support my clients in tapping those strengths in every engagement, from developing and supporting leaders to helping teams realize their potential to guiding organizations to envision and bring to life vibrant and successful futures.

My experience is grounded in my years as a frontline staff member, manager, senior executive, and Board member. As a former Vice President for Professional Development and Education for Planned Parenthood Southeastern PA I helped lead local, regional, and national initiatives to strengthen the organization’s impact and reach.

My history of serving on and leading several Boards of Directors provided me with practical experience along with a theoretical foundation in Board practices.

As a former English major, long-time potter, and occasional poet, I weave art, poetry, and other forms of creative expression into my work with clients.

I’m incredibly fortunate to partner with a group of talented and highly skilled colleagues from various disciplines, who collectively bring a depth and range of expertise and experience to Dorel Shanon Coaching & Consulting.
