Driven by a love for experiential education and adventure, Shawn has devoted 15 years to leading over 2000-days of wilderness leadership expeditions into some of the world’s harshest environments as a senior instructor with the National Outdoor Leadership School and other international organizations. For nine years he didn’t live in one place for more than three months. As a result, he has travelled extensively across six continents. Along the way, his skill for fostering powerful teams has made him a successful and sought-after leader. As a keynote speaker, Shawn brings energy, thought-provoking ideas, and a passion for team building to the stage. Shawn shares breathtaking photos, captivating stories, and valuable team-building lessons that are just as relevant inside the boardroom as they are in the wilds of Kenya or the Himalayas. Shawn continues to use his leadership and team building skills through volunteer service. He is past president of the Newfoundland Association of Professional Speakers and is Founder and Committee Chair of the Paradise Triathlon. Shawn has completed over 40 triathlons, including two Ironman competitions and the 2013 Boston Marathon. Shawn is the founder of the LiveMore Group, an organization that helps people maximize their potential and productivity. Shawn’s first book, ‘Teams on the Edge: Stories and Lessons From Wilderness Expeditions was released on July 1, 2013.
