Jane Shannon brings extensive experience in corporate, academic, and entrepreneurial settings to her work at Stop at Nothing. She concentrates on facilitation of awareness seminars and teambuilding for the firm’s clients. She is particularly interested in the linkage between leadership effectiveness and teambuilding and helping individuals understand the patterns that affect leadership styles.

“We seek to understand the triggers that cause us to revert to the patterns that trip us up as leaders,” she said. “These are very powerful things that are tied to belief systems and what you hold dear.”

A veteran HR executive in the banking industry, Jane came to Stop at Nothing from Bank of America. She first joined Barnett Bank, which became NationsBank, in its career services division, where she focused on transition and integration following the many mergers that resulted in Bank of America. Just prior to joining Stop at Nothing, she was in risk management, where she oversaw relationship management for the consumer bank and enterprise-wide ethical initiatives.

Jane holds a doctorate in family studies from Virginia Tech, a master’s degree in family therapy from Virginia Commonwealth University, and a BA from Belmont Abbey College. She was a tenured professor in the College of Education and Human Development at Radford University in Virginia. She also established and ran her own leadership development company.
