Founder, SLG Impact
Shauna sits down with women who lead in sports, communications and PR to hear how they built their careers, what it cost them and how they kept going.
She played basketball at the University of Michigan, spent thirteen years in professional sports, then moved into agency leadership. Today she runs SLG Impact, where she works on growth, experience, partnerships and leadership, including fractional leadership through SLG Impact’s Sidecar Strategy. She hosted her own podcast for six years and brings leaders together in her Leaders Huddles.
Every conversation she leads runs on Bellwether under her name.
