Shannon recently conducted a creativity workshop at our church, helping adults and families deepen their faith through the written word. She is a gifted communicator—astute, enthusiastic, and relatable—who emphasized how each person’s story matters. Her two-hour session was a breath of fresh air as Shannon shared her own stories and modeled for us a variety of tools and resources to promote writing and developing our stories. Several participants have begun writing for the first time, and it is obvious that Shannon’s presentation has made an immediate impact. I recommend Shannon, without reservation.
