“You Have a Purpose” is the saying that guides both my personal and professional life. Through my own journey and those of my clients, I have been a witness to incredible life transformation; I know and believe that you have a reason for being here. I consider it a privilege to mine the God-given treasure that exists in you as you bring this forth for others to benefit. You have been blessed with gifts, talents, and a unique heart that the world needs; without you, something very important won't happen. My passion as your coach is to support you in discovering the depth of what lies within you so that you can experience the fullness of your life and purpose—now!

As your coach, I will support, challenge, and inspire you with passion and heart to bring your life into alignment with your authentic values, purpose, and vision. As you understand who you are created to be, I will guide you through the steps to bring your values into your daily living. You will be reconnected with your deepest dreams and desires, and begin to live the life God has planned for you. You will discover the joy, fulfillment, and peace that comes from living an intentional life of meaning and purpose as you make choices in alignment with your heart’s deepest desires. Personally, you will find balance and ease as you deepen your relationships and improve the quality of your life. Professionally, you will create a more fulfilling business or career as a result of leading from your heart. Bottom line: I will keep you on course to your greater purpose!

As a speaker, I am energetic, genuine, challenging, and engaging. In the messages I share, I weave a unique blend of powerful coaching skills into the practices for daily living that will touch and inspire your heart. In an authentic way, I share real life examples from my own life and the lives of my clients who have granted me permission to do so which helps you to apply the learning into your own life. I use an interactive approach to my speaking that will challenge you to step out of your comfort zone in a safe and loving environment. You will leave a workshop or event called forth to action, with the knowledge, tools, and belief that transformation is possible and achievable. I will share my knowledge and “how to’s” so that you will begin to understand your unique gifts and talents allowing you to step into action using the tools provided.

I am committed to living my life intentionally and in alignment with my values, passion and purpose. I believe that my gifts and my life experiences have prepared me for the calling to serve as your coach. I understand your needs, the demands placed upon you, and what your heart deeply desires.

Here’s what my clients have to say:

About my coaching:

"Life coaching has given me the direction and tools to begin the journey of self-enlightenment. Before coaching, I lived in a place of sadness, fear, and discouragement. Now I have found a place of personal and spiritual growth that's allowed me to live in the now, experiencing a deeper quality of life. The effects of coaching have given me strength and confidence, both personally and professionally." Sheri Shirk, Business Developer, Washington State

“Through coaching, I came to identify, affirm, and hold dear my own personal values. I am now able to keep that forefront in all decisions I make, both personally and professionally. The personal discovery and affirmation, which I have experienced through coaching, has led me on paths I didn’t know existed. I have full faith now that the successes I achieve will be true to my values and that the directions I pursue will be created, not stumbled upon. I can now enjoy the process of life and understand that the value is in today—not tomorrow.” Kim Kilkenney, Stay-At-Home Mom, Wife & Entrepreneur, Colorado

“Once again, I enjoyed our coaching together. I admire the way you listen to the Lord and then guide your clients His way. I have found that having Shannon as my Personal Life Coach has taken me to places I never knew possible. Her commitment to challenging me to excellence has made my career deeper and more meaningful than I could ever have imagined. I highly recommend Shannon to each of you to discover and further your life’s purpose to fulfillment.” Deanna Bowman, Executive, Washington State

“I love that Shannon is positive and focuses on what works for me as a way to improve the things that aren't currently working. She knows how to identify my fears and limitations, while bringing in my needs and connecting the two so I can see harmony again. I also love the fact that my coach and I can have a relationship where we can focus on God and how He is a part of my life and what I am doing.” Amy Smith, Director, Southern Living at Home, Arizona

About my group coaching:

“Shannon Bruce led a group-coaching program with my direct sales team. The confidence she built and unveiled in those participants was truly astounding. She has a deep sensitivity to people’s desires, fears, and needs, and gently nudges people to stretch, risk, and have courage as they pursue the path they desire. Shannon has a deep belief that she and others have a strong purpose in life and that we are all equipped with what we need to fulfill it if we are open to the guidance around us. There is greater strength in the women who attended that is evident, as each is more real and authentic in their approach. With the coaching and the tools, the result is tangible as we have increased the number of team members since participating, and there is a renewed energy and excitement that is obvious. Shannon brings an amazing passion to her work, which only serves to bless those she comes in contact with.” Yvonne Mattson, Independent Executive Director for the Pampered Chef

About my speaking style:

"Shannon gave a great presentation about finances. Her message is fantastic because it is readily understood and easy to implement. Shannon is a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate speaker. Her excitement truly empowers others. She is confident and professional, and is someone I would trust in to share all my struggles and faults with so together in partnership, I can accomplish my goals and dreams." Shannon Dahl, Salon Owner of A Touch of French, Washington State
