Shannon Burwell Public Speaking Coach

About Me

I’m a public speaking coach who helps brilliant weirdos, big thinkers, bold entrepreneurs, and pro athletes turn their real-life stories into unforgettable keynote talks. I started acting professionally at 16, worked as a story editor at Paramount, and have shared the screen with Oscar- and Emmy-winning legends like Billy Bob Thornton and Sarah Paulson. Now I help people stop sounding like LinkedIn blurbs and start speaking like actual humans—with guts, clarity, and a little fire. Polished is overrated—authentic wins every time.

Outside of work, I’m a former adoption consultant, a homeschooling mom, and—fun fact—a poker champion. I live in Georgia with my husband, a documentary film writer, and our teenage son. My daughter’s out making her own way in the world now, and I couldn’t be prouder of her.
