- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
What can a prison environment teach us about leadership? More than you
might think.
Stripped of titles and distractions, the men Shannon Talbot mentors in a medium-security prison model a version of leadership rooted in self-awareness, vulnerability, and responsibility. In “Leadership Lessons from Prisoners,” Shannon draws on 15+ years of corporate leadership and powerful stories from behind the walls to show what’s possible when leaders make time for vision, take full ownership of outcomes, and surround themselves with the right support.
Leaders walk away with practical insight into how vulnerability builds trust, how accountability fuels meaningful progress, and how support systems turn potential into real change.
It’s an unexpected and deeply human reminder of what leadership looks like at its best.
Participants will walk away with:
- A renewed understanding of how setting a clear, shared vision drives alignment and performance.
- A modern definition of accountability—taking responsibility for results, not just effort—and how to model it as a leader.
- A framework to identify and build the support systems needed to lead with clarity, courage, and authenticity.

- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
In this powerful, story-rich, and practical keynote, Human Connection Expert Shannon Talbot challenges outdated norms of workplace professionalism. Drawing from her early leadership experience at Scotiabank—where fun and belonging drove results—she makes the compelling case that connection is not a soft skill; it’s a leadership strategy.
Through her 5-part Connection Blueprint, Shannon equips leaders to build cultures where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to stay, not just for the job, but for the people. This talk is a rallying cry to rethink professionalism, rehumanize the workplace, and lead with the heart as well as the head.
Imagine how much more your team could accomplish if connection became their superpower.
Leaders will learn how to:
- Strengthen trust to improve engagement, retention, and cross-team collaboration
- Identify and address hidden friction points that quietly drain morale and performance
- Use connection as a lever for accountability, innovation, and real results

- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Burnout isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a business problem with a very human cost. With 82% of employees at risk (Mercer, 2024 Global Talent Trends), burnout impacts engagement, well-being, and retention, creating ripple effects organizations can’t afford to ignore.
This energizing session reveals how “quiet quitting” often starts with quiet suffering—and what leaders can do to prevent it. Shannon shows how vulnerability, real conversations, and human connection are the overlooked tools for fueling both well-being and performance.
What could your workforce accomplish if burnout weren’t holding them back? Success and well-being don’t have to be trade-offs—they can go hand in hand.
Participants will be able to:
- Spot burnout before it derails your team.
- Build trust through small acts of vulnerability.
- Use personal storytelling to spark connection and cultural change
