Shawn as a Speaker

High conflict people and scenarios seem to be on the rise.  High conflict people can make you feel like you’re the crazy one.  Consequently, they make you feel defensive and bring out your worse instincts. And, unfortunately, you often end up becoming their target of blame.  Whether your are working with one, friends with one, divorcing one or still living one, a high conflict person can make life miserable.  Relief is here.  Shawn’s speaking is focused on giving pragmatic information on identifying and managing high conflict people in legal disputes and every day life.  Her speaking style is rooted in connecting with her audiences, bringing an appropriate sense of humor and play.

Shawn is known as an excellent keynote speaker and has appeared as a leading expert on panels, as well as been a conference session breakout speaker. As a result, it is fairly common for her sessions to be standing room only.  Her audiences range from six to over 600 in settings from small conference rooms to large auditoriums. Shawn has spoken in the United States and Canada and is open to speaking in other countries.
