Lead Better Under Pressure
Leadership Isn’t Getting Easier.
But it can get more aligned.
Whether you're navigating change, managing a high-stakes team, or feeling the pressure to perform while staying true to your values—your stress response matters. And so does your ability to lead from a grounded, self-aware place.
That’s where this tool comes in.

Built by a Coach Who's Been There
I’m Paula Shannon—a certified executive coach, Enneagram practitioner, and former C-level leader in public education.
I’ve led systems through crisis, culture change, and reinvention—and I’ve walked with dozens of leaders doing the same.
This tool reflects what I’ve learned:
✅ Self-awareness is not optional
✅ Pressure doesn’t build character—it reveals it
✅ And the Enneagram is one of the most powerful ways to grow
What Leaders Are Saying
“I’ve used the Enneagram before—but never like this.”
“This helped me name what’s happening when things feel off.”
“I finally understood why my leadership felt reactive. Now I have a path forward.”
