About Julie Shannan
Certified Professional Coach
Founder & CEO at Big Mission
I've had a coach throughout my professional career, and I can say without a doubt that I would not be where I am today without the guidance, support, and accountability that coaching has provided along the way.
Over the years, I've learned to embrace big ideas, take meaningful risks, and pursue opportunities that once felt out of reach. Daily practices like reflection, journaling, and intentional goal setting have helped me build a career and life that align with my values and purpose.
In addition to being a Certified Professional Coach, I bring more than 25 years of experience leading and building nonprofit organizations. I've worked alongside CEOs, executive directors, leadership teams, and board members to navigate growth, strengthen leadership, build effective boards, raise resources, and create greater impact in their communities.
Today, I coach nonprofit professionals, executives, and board members who want to grow their careers, become stronger leaders, and better support the organizations they serve. Whether you're exploring your next career move, stepping into a leadership role, or looking to become a more effective board member, I can help you gain clarity, create a plan, and move forward with confidence.
You don't have to figure it all out alone. Let's build something big together.
