Happy Valentines Day!

TedX is coming to San Luis Obispo on April 14, 2024. The KeyNote Speaker is Shannon Huffman Polson and she is Adam’s guest today. Shannon is not only the author of The Grit Factor: Courage, Resilience, and Leadership in the Most Male-Dominated Organization in the World, but also the memoir North of Hope.

As the founder of The Grit Institute, Shannon is dedicated to cultivating whole leader development, guiding individuals to reach their fullest potential. 

Drawing from her groundbreaking experience as one of the first women to pilot the Apache attack helicopter in the U.S. Army, Shannon brings a unique perspective to the table. Her journey has taken her across three continents, leading line units and facing challenges head-on.

After a decade of distinguished service in the armed forces, Shannon pursued her MBA at the Tuck School at Dartmouth, followed by her MFA. She then transitioned seamlessly into the corporate world, where she led exceptional teams in the medical device industry and at Microsoft.

With a decade of experience speaking to companies and organizations worldwide, Shannon consistently earns top ratings for her engaging and insightful presentations.
