Not just another motivational speaker…
Recognized as a “world leader in personal and professional development,” Shawn Ellis is in demand as a speaker, workshop leader, and resilience coach to help crazy-busy professionals thrive in the face of adversity, uncertainty, and change.
While Shawn moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music almost 25 years ago, what he found was a passion for helping people find joy and meaning at the intersection of life and work. After more than a decade of helping leading organizations inspire their people by partnering with some of the world’s best speakers, authors, and thought leaders—including the likes of Dr. Wayne Dyer, Magic Johnson, Jon Gordon, Marci Shimoff, Marcus Buckingham, and many more—Shawn discovered an important message of his own: “This Moment Matters.”
At a point of crisis in his own life, feeling squeezed by the accelerating pace of life, and by increasingly complex and demanding working conditions, Shawn realized that having a front row seat to the world’s best thinking and advice was not a free pass to success. “It’s not about knowing the right thing, but doing the right thing,” Shawn says. Whether you’re reaching for your goals or overcoming obstacles, it’s all about how you show up and how you respond, moment by moment.
Now a self-proclaimed “momentologist,” Shawn is on a mission to be more present and more engaged for more of the moments of his life—and he’s helping others do the same. Clients call his approach “a breath of fresh air,” and his sessions have earned 4-star reviews from professionals at organizations such as Pitney Bowes, State Farm, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Unisys, Howard Community College, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Panera Bread Company, and many more.
Mastering the Moments to Thrive in Life and Business... Starting Now!
Rise and Thrive -- Unleash Your True Power to Rise Up in Times of Change, Uncertainty, or Adversity
I’m not supposed to be here.
This shouldn’t be happening.
Nothing is going according to plan.
Have you ever had any of those thoughts? We all have. And if your organization, your team, or your industry is going through a time a change, uncertainty, or adversity, you can bet your people have.
What we know as leaders, of course, is that change is normal. Adversity is a given. The only certainty is uncertainty!
But challenging circumstances can rock our world if we’re not ready for them. One “bad” moment can easily spiral into “one of those days.” The key is to realize that circumstances are never in our control. What is in our control is how we SHOW UP, and how we RESPOND.
If your people are overwhelmed by thoughts like, “How is the change in our organization going to affect me?” or “How are the new competitors in the marketplace going to affect me?” or “How am I going to get used to this new person sitting next to me?” then there’s no way they can perform up to the level you know they’re capable of.
So, let’s help them. You have an amazing group of people. Let’s give them the gift of a fresh perspective. Let’s share some laughs, and remind them that, if they look back on their lives, they’ll see that it’s all unfolded according to plan. And there’s no reason for it to stop now.
Just relax. Show up at your best. Respond with intention. And enjoy the ride. It’s going somewhere good!
Key Takeaways:
- The Power of Perspective: While you don’t get to choose your circumstances, you do get to choose how you SHOW UP and how you RESPOND.
- The Power of Presence: Your company needs you, your coworkers need you, your family needs you… we ALL need ALL of you.
- The Power of Purpose: You are here for a reason, and the reason is not something grand and far away in the future… it is THIS MOMENT.
- The Power of Gratitude: This is life, and life is a gift… so what can you find to be grateful for in this moment? Nothing negative can exist in the presence of gratitude.
