My Why
Purpose-driven clarity I’m driven to help people lead and live with clarity, confidence, and calm. After experiencing burnout early in my career, I became passionate about teaching others how to protect their energy, lead themselves well, and design a life that truly works. My purpose is to help people rise sustainably.
My Accomplishments
Accredited Master Life Coach, Accredited Breathwork Coach, 8 x Best Selling Author
For over two decades, I’ve had the privilege of coaching CEOs, elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and high performers to create meaningful, sustainable success. I am the author of eight best-selling books with Penguin Random House, published in multiple languages around the world. My masterpiece, The Life Plan, has become a trusted roadmap for purposeful living.
I’m also the creator of the Shannah Kennedy Vision Board Kits, sold globally with more than 100,000 copies inspiring people to visualise and design their best lives. My work has been featured across Australia’s leading organisations, from boardrooms to wellbeing retreats, helping thousands build clarity, purpose, and calm confidence.
Beyond the stage and studio, I’ve walked some of the world’s most iconic trails—the Camino in Spain, the hills of Tuscany, and sacred paths through Japan, coaching groups of women as we walk, reflect, and reset together.
Personally, one of my proudest achievements is rebuilding my life after burnout in my twenties. The tools I teach today are the same ones that helped me rise, rebuild, and lead a life I truly love.
Fun facts
Something Unique About Me I secretly love doing the laundry, it’s my quiet sanctuary. It’s where I breathe, reset, and find calm in the rhythm of folding and order. No one interrupts me there! I’ve been vision boarding since I was twenty, and looking back now, almost everything I imagined has come to life—a powerful reminder that clarity and visualisation really work. I’ve also coached clients while walking the Camino in Spain, hiking through Japan, and exploring Tuscany. Some of my best coaching moments happen mid-stride under open skies. And my cavoodle, Rex, thinks he’s my business partner, he regularly joins Zoom sessions, often stealing the spotlight (and sometimes the snacks).
