Shawna Corden excels in building better leaders and fostering a coaching culture. She combines her twenty-three-plus years of Fortune 10 business leadership experience, with her nearly twenty years of leadership coaching to partner for excellence. She is well positioned to coach leaders through change and conflict with credentials in coaching, project management, and change management.

She is the author of Coach Culture: A Playbook for Winning in Business and the newly released Meet Me in the Middle: A Guide to Overcoming & Preventing Polarization in the Workplace

She’s been called the jerk whisperer—repairing the Achilles’ heel of flawed but brilliant executives in multiple industries, making them a joy to work for, all while building a coaching culture. Her podcast, Playbook for Performance, builds better leaders, making work fun again.

In her dream world, it’s football season year-round, everyone loves her signature fruitcake, and her beloved husband and kids actually laugh at her jokes. And, of course, society has overcome polarization.
