About Dr. Shannon
U.S. Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award
Recipient, 2022
Dr. Shannon Simpson Shand is a registered nurse, entrepreneur, best-selling author, certified life coach, and home care business strategist.
With more than 31 years in nursing and 29 years in home care, she brings an uncommon blend of real-world experience, compassion, and business acumen.
After working three jobs at age 29 to buy her first home, a sudden neurological collapse changed her life. A year of rehabilitation taught her a powerful lesson: stop trading hours for dollars—start building systems, legacy, and freedom.
Today, she empowers individuals and organizations to overcome obstacles, lead with purpose, and create sustainable impact in business, healthcare, and life.
