SHANNON TALBOT BIOGRAPHY
Shannon Talbot is a Human Connection Expert, Workplace Well-Being Speaker, and Author, passionate about helping leaders build happier, healthier, and more engaged workforces. With over 15 years of international corporate leadership experience spanning advertising and financial services, Shannon has cultivated a reputation as a dynamic leader who not only achieves results but also transforms workplace cultures.
During her corporate tenure across Canada, the U.S., and Latin America, Shannon Talbot consistently exceeded revenue targets and engagement metrics. But the relentless pursuit of success and climbing the corporate ladder came at a personal cost. Trying to do it all—meeting expectations, managing teams, and juggling personal responsibilities—she burned out. Exhausted and disconnected, Shannon realized that her well-being and authenticity were critical to her success, not optional. By prioritizing her own health and happiness, she found not only a renewed sense of purpose but also an ability to lead with authenticity and inspire others to thrive.
This journey sparked her mission: to help leaders create workplaces where connection, trust, and well-being aren’t just buzzwords but tangible, measurable foundations for success. Through her talks and workshops, Shannon Talbot equips leaders with actionable strategies to foster collaboration, reduce burnout, and build resilient, high-performing teams.
Shannon’s debut book, Breaking Free: Stop Holding Back, Start Being You, shares relatable stories and actionable insights, empowering readers to overcome self-doubt and create lives filled with purpose and joy. The book has garnered widespread praise and positions Shannon as a leading voice in building healthier, more fulfilling workplaces.
Her work has been featured in prominent media outlets, including CBC Radio, Today’s Parent, Chatelaine, Thrive Global, and Lifehack. Known for her engaging, down-to-earth approach, Shannon combines humor, warmth, and practical strategies to connect with diverse audiences.
Shannon Talbot holds an MBA from the Schulich School of Business and is a Certified Transformational Coach, blending her academic expertise with a passion for fostering holistic growth. Living just outside Toronto with her husband and two sons through adoption, Shannon balances her professional pursuits with a love of travel, kitchen dance parties, and cheering on her kids at their various activities.
Whether through her speaking engagements, workshops, or writing, Shannon Talbot is dedicated to helping leaders create workplaces where people thrive—both personally and professionally.
