I believe that leadership is about leading yourself first.
I help you identify your own core values, emotional intelligence, beliefs and purpose to fuel your leadership style.
This self-awareness is a key aspect of leading others with authenticity and integrity.
I also believe in fun, humility, adaptability, and openness.

I am Shobna Kannusamy, and I love living a life of purpose, meaning and fun! In honouring my Canadian, Kiwi, Malaysian, and South Indian heritage, I lend a unique lens of diversity, identity and belonging that informs my approach to daily personal and professional connections. Having navigated through career transitions, chasing after goals and success on my own terms, I bring my intrinsic values of trust, integrity and compassion, and commit them to every engagement.
As a leadership coach, I focus on partnering with you and your team to enhance your communication, collaboration, decision-making skills, strategic thinking and to build a culture you'd be proud of. Leadership is a constantly evolving journey and true leaders are always learning and growing. I offer a variety of coaching services, including one-on-one coaching, team coaching, group coaching and workshops, to help you achieve your goals.
I guide, strategize with you and support your small business, contributing to its growth and success. I coach you through rough corners and unknowns, to help you gain clarity for you, your business and its future, through igniting your leadership potential and harnessing your power within. I am here to help you adjust your flight path and partner with you as you navigate towards your goals and success.
I enjoy creating fun, collaborative and resourceful engagements - I'd love to connect with you!
