Shoshana is a leadership coach, Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, and relational somatic therapist, living on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish nations: sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθ kwəy̓əm (Musqueam) nations. She is passionate about connection as the foundation of all our relationships – with ourselves, with each other, with the earth we steward, and with the generations before and after us. When not coaching, counselling, or leading, you can find her deep in the battles of good and evil (or Rebels & the Empire) with her six-year-old, dancing her heart out, or finding adventures big and small with her partner.
Decolonizing leadership is an act of courage; of standing for something bigger than ourselves. It is the act of peeling away the unconscious biases, of acknowledging and addressing the systemic power inequities baked into our organizational structures, processes, and cultures.
