SHARON MALLON BIOGRAPHY
Sharon Mallon is an award-winning Radio Broadcaster. During her accomplished 35-year career she worked as a Reporter, News Director, Talk Show Host, Em-cee and Morning Show Co-Host. She interviewed high-level politicians, authors, sports stars and some of the most famous entertainers on the planet.
She broadcast live from cities across Canada and the United States to Abbey Road Studio in London, England. Sharon Mallon delivered ‘reality radio’ long before ‘reality TV’ took over television. For decades she regaled radio audiences with stories of life. She is still regarded today as one of the most skilled and engaging storytellers ever on Edmonton radio.
Just as she was about to retire, she suffered a personal, publicly humiliating blow. It was debilitating. She’d been blindsided. She was inconsolable. Sharon Mallon was so profoundly affected by heartbreak, she wrote a book called ‘The Gift of Adultery’. Within months over 2000 copies were sold.
Only one year after suffering this personal tragedy, she was diagnosed with a form of blood cancer which would eventually become a terminal illness. Five years later, Doctors believe it was that disease which caused her to lose ‘permanent sight’ in her right eye.
Upon learning she’d been diagnosed with Blood Cancer, Sharon Mallon opted to make the most of her time. She travelled the world and joined four Boards in Edmonton; The Edmonton Police Foundation, Compassion House, Pilgrims Hospice Society and Events Edmonton. She also volunteered as a Patient Visitor at the Cross Cancer Institute.
Today, after a life-saving Bone Marrow Transplant in 2021 and years of painstaking, anguishing mental work, Sharon Mallon is healthier than she has ever been, both physically AND mentally. Doctors have stated her recovery from the transplant is in the top 5 percentile. Among other things, medical staff have credited her attitude for her remarkable comeback.
Sharon Mallon has blogged about her post-retirement journey on FACEBOOK. She has a following of several thousand who regularly recognize her for inspiring, motivating and encouraging them.
Her story of how she survived heartbreak AND cancer is a powerful tale of how one can overcome adversity. She explains how gratitude is the cornerstone of her well-being. Most importantly, Sharon Mallon details her tools for recovery and the lessons learned. These are skill sets which are literally available to every one of us. Her message is especially powerful and moving, based solely on experience. She has ‘walked the walk’.
Who would benefit from hearing Sharon Mallon speak? Literally, ANYONE who is struggling! Anyone who is experiencing grief, loss, fear, adversity, unforeseen circumstances, self-doubt, or lack of motivation and for anyone who needs….hope.

In this presentation Sharon Mallon will explain how we can experience extraordinary growth during periods of adversity; that it is in fact during challenging times, we are presented with our greatest opportunities to develop resiliency, strength and courage. Her story tells of how she suffered three life-altering tragedies; all back to back. Her story will surprise many to know that emotional pain is as, and in some cases, more destructive than physical pain.
Sharon Mallon also shares very personal details of her journey from the depths of despair to how she lives her life today. Her description of the devastation she felt is so explicit, it has brought audience members to tears. Why? Her story is so relatable, so relevant, so timely and so engaging, it can’t help but illicit the rawest of emotions. It’s how she recovered though that is the ‘jewel’ in this message. Her never give up attitude, her determination to plow through the pain, and ultimately her ability to ‘let go’ will leave audiences believing that if ‘she can do it, they too can do it’.
how i turned a bone marrow transplant into a cruise
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
There isn’t a cancer patient on the planet who ‘doesn’t’ need to hear a story of survival.
Few would think of any kind of transplant as a walk in the park, but it’s exactly how Sharon Mallon approached this life-saving procedure. She literally chose to look at it as a ‘vacation’; in fact, her favourite type of holiday—a cruise. How she did it is the theme of this presentation; from the day of diagnosis to the day, Sharon Mallon learned a transplant was her only option for survival, to how she lives her life today. It illustrates the tenacity of the human spirit. It focuses on the power of adaptability.
Her story is teachable insofar as she explains the tools she used to not only survive but to recover in the top fifth percentile. Most importantly she’ll detail the ‘one tool’, that got her through the procedure and subsequent recovery. The simplicity of that tool is often surprising to audiences. While the strategy she used was indeed straightforward and practical, it’s ‘how’ she got to that point that is the ‘treasure’ in this presentation.
No two cancers are the same, BUT the approach we use to battle each diagnosis ‘can’ be the same. Cancer is only ‘one’ part of our life; it’s not our entire life and what we do when we’re diagnosed ‘can’ have a profound effect on the outcome.
This presentation offers hope and encouragement to anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer. It’s also a gift for family members who are so often struck with such a sense of grief, they sometimes suffer more than the patient. Again, there isn’t a cancer patient on the planet who ‘doesn’t’ need to hear a story of survival.
the resilient mind
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
There are those among us who are naturally resilient. They have a mindset of resilience. They’re actually able to see how setbacks serve as stepping stones to greatness. They rarely look at challenges as negative; they see them as opportunities. The rest of us? We have to work at developing a resilient mindset. That’s the bad news. The good news is we are all capable of developing such a thinking pattern.
In this presentation, Sharon will explain the mindset of the resilient. She’ll teach the audience how to develop one. Included are proven strategies for building a resilient mindset. There are five pillars of resiliency, which when explained, will help audiences to understand this pattern of thinking is within their grasp.
Fortunately, we are all capable of acquiring such a thinking pattern. More than ever, these strategies are critical for our well-being.
On any given day, millions of people around the world are blindsided. Millions are hit by circumstances they could have not fathomed. That we are going to suffer at some point in our life is a given. It’s why we all need to learn how to develop a resilient mindset insofar as it may well determine for ‘how long’ we suffer.
Sharon Mallon is qualified to speak on this subject as she experienced three tragedies in her life, not including the death of loved ones. She’ll explain ‘exactly’ how she built and continues to flex her muscle of ‘resilience’.
Sharon Mallon can deliver customized presentations within the following topic themes.

I had the pleasure of working with Sharon Mallon for many years at 840 CFCW Radio. To say she is one of the best storytellers in the business is not a stretch. Sharon’s creative way of keeping you hanging on a story…teasing you almost before she gives you the payoff, was legendary

Sharon Mallon is well-spoken, entertaining, and enthusiastic and injects relevant personal anecdotes and humour throughout the event. Sharon can be 100% trusted to understand and remain true to key messaging...
