About Katie Shannon

Hi friend. 

I am an expert at teaching high performers how to transcend indecision, self-sabotaging and compulsive behavior into personal power.

I've chased career ambition, been terrified of love and lived a wild, extraordinary life. This life and my destructive decisions led me into self hatred and compulsive addictive behaviors. Food, sexual and emotional anorexia, work, compulsive spending and other people became my drugs of choice. I was working in the family office of Kevin Plank, Chairman and Executive Founder of Under Armour when I hit my bottom. I was showing up every day as an inauthentic version of myself and it ate at me from the inside out. I thought there was something wrong with me and I realized I was paralyzed by fear of success.

I was tired of being in so much pain and I realized the only choice I had left was to do THE WORK. The inner work to my own personal liberation has been powerful, challenging and incredibly rewarding. I am powerful beyond my own comprehension and so are you. 

The truth is, we were not destined to play small. 

I know what confidence looks like and I know how to sell you and your vision to the most important person. Yourself.

A note from Katie:

SK CO was inspired by the past generations of men and women in my family who created opportunity in the face of adversity as well as the ones who were consistently held back by their own internal shame and addictions. My work and life path became clear out of my own disabilities of self-loathing and chasing the wrong dream with vengeance. A decade of denial and a drive to prove my worth led me on a path of destruction and short-term happiness. After a step back and a lot of self-awareness, I am continually going back to who I was before the world got to me and it’s absolutely beautiful. By utilizing my innate wisdom to connect the dots and have hard conversations with my clients who are ready to change their lives, we create opportunity to bring their full selves out with confidence. 

I have been invited to speak at numerous prestegious events including:

Northwestern’s Kellogg Entrepreneurial and Venture Capital Club

DC Startup Week

I specialize in working with leaders who are addicted to ambition, co-dependency and an unhealthy relationship with the energy of money. We focus on self-awareness and defining personal and professional values. Check out my Instagram page where I have documented my own story through all things recovery.
