My name is Shanna Trenholm and I’m a writer. Ok, that’s too simple. I’m a writer, catalyst, and force of nature! I was put on this planet to inspire and to make things happen. I’m a problem-solver. An educator. A singular communicator. A deft collaborator. I am dedicated to helping you unearth your potential so that you can live your best life ever. I make a killer green smoothie.
What I Do:
I can help you find your voice, communicate your message to your adoring fans (or your future fans), and to build the awesome life and work you want.
I collaborate with individuals and companies who need a triple shot of inspiration, steerage, and tough love. I love working with entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations, and businesses that are ready to break out of their old mindset, but just need a loving and well-placed kick to do so.
I can help you transform your ideas into a new business or establish streamlined, creative ways to do what you do already. Fallen out of love with your business? I can help you reclaim what excited you in the first place about starting your business and get you back in love what you do.
If you work for a nonprofit, together we will create plan that will get you on track, relatively painlessly—then I will give you all the tools to run a successful program, whether a grant writing, development, or strategic plan—again, with minimal pain on your part. And that’s barely scratching the surface of the ways we can work together.
Top Secret Methods That I Employ:
I listen to you. Really, I do. Behind the scenes, I research and ruminate. Imagine and innovate. I draw on my experiences of owning and operating a successful consulting business, and more than twenty years in the conventional business world, to bring you fresh ideas and help you move forward—in a sustainable, creative, and fun way.
In addition, when you work with me, you get the power of my associates. I will tap the fine minds of my close professional network to create a plan that works for you.
I get cozy with what you do, rolling up my sleeves to help you with the heavy lifting. I am passionate—I love what I do and it’s contagious. We’ll work together and I’ll help you love what you do, too. Collaborate with me and I will have you standing on your head (did I mention I am a yoga teacher?) with excitement about the possibilities.
Change-making is in my DNA:
I am a dyed-in-the-wool nonconformist. Trust me, that’s a good thing for change-maker to be. I have been creating businesses–nimble, sustainable businesses since I could walk (well, not that early, but close). I have vast and myriad experience: from business management to writing, nutrition and health, to the world of fashion—all have helped me hone my innate ability to see the big picture while polishing the details, allowed me to work with a variety of people, to communicate with confidence and precision, and the fashion thing makes me the best person to take shoe shopping. Seriously, I have radar for killer shoes.
How to Tell if You Are Ready:
You are here and you’ve read this far, so this a a good sign you are ready to make a change. Traditional personal growth and business development methods don’t inspire you—you never looked good in a three-piece suit anyway. You need inspiration, ideas, and a good recipe for gluten-free brownies so you landed here. You are intrigued. You are ready to push your boundaries past their current limits and make it fun. You want to live and work in alignment with your authentic self. So drop me line or send me a tweet, and let’s make things happen.
