April 2025 marks the beginning! With over 25 years of experience in nonprofit leadership and philanthropy, I’m eager to begin this new chapter and focus on what I’m most passionate about: helping professionals and nonprofits reach their full potential.
Why I Started Shawn Smith Coaching and Consulting
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to intersect with some fantastic people! People at all stages of their careers—those new to leadership, experiencing major organizational change, building and retaining teams, and creating rich work environments.
I’ve seen firsthand, how the proper guidance and strategy can transform careers and organizations. I’ve supported professionals through many career transitions, helping them navigate feelings of self-doubt, leadership challenges, and building techniques to stretch their skills to reach the next goal. I’ve also worked with nonprofits to develop sustainable fundraising strategies that deepen donor relationships and drive impactful results.
Throughout these experiences, I realized there is a greater need for personalized, career, and leadership support in the nonprofit sector—so I decided to combine my passions and expertise into one practice.
