HAVE YOU EVER...
Had an amazing opportunity to present yourself
to a hiring committee, an important client, or your new team –
but you felt you didn’t know WHAT to say?
And you felt you didn’t know HOW to say it?
Been the only diverse person in the room?
And you wanted to make sure that you express yourself authentically including your culture, heritage, and identification or orientation?
Felt you stood out because your ideas or thinking were different? And you wished you could find a way to streamline your process to better convey your thoughts and projects?
Felt anxious about completing a high-performance work task
so much so that you sense your well-being and health are at risk?
AND you have trouble with confidence, speaking anxiety,
being understood, or telling your story?
If so, let me help you SPEAK YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS
MEET DR. SHANNON
Hi, I’m Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner, communication coach and consultant,
and cultural/digital storyteller.
I use a whole-person, holistic approach to include WHO you are, WHERE you come from, the WAY you process information and think, and HOW you identify. So you don't sound like a version of someone else. But you sound like a better version of yourself.
Coming out in mid-life, I know first-hand the struggle of diverse people. As a gay / queer biracial woman, I know the difficulty of being talked over.
Of being passed over for promotions.
Or for acknowledgment for a job well done.
I even know the upset when someone steals your ideas or work. And passes it off as their own.
IT’S TIME TO TAKE BACK THE POWER OF YOUR VOICE!

TESTIMONIALS
I took a short, but intense course of accent reduction with Dr. Lerner and I can say first hand that she will be willing to work with you using very specialized tools and tailored to fit exactly your needs.
I've been working in IT for the past ten plus years, and I never realized how important it is to have effective communication with others, and how that could take or not your career into a different level, but once you are in the other side of the fence, you'll certainly know it.
My customize course was as comprehensive as I thought it would be, with three sessions per week during a 6-month period, were enough to boost my confidence and had a direct impact on my career.
Speak to others in a language that isn't your mother tongue it's hard, and in addition to that Silicon Valley it's all about networking so, talking with confidence it's an invaluable asset.
I'm profoundly thankful to Dr. Lerner for the mentoring and advocacy she demonstrated to my person during our sessions for accent reduction.
Me, being a non-native English speaker, I always struggled with making myself understood with my heavy accent, gradually I could see myself making progress in the daily basis as much as the sessions with Dr. Lerner were taking place. Now I can talk more fluently with confidence knowing that my colleagues and the people around me will understand me without any problem.
We worked together to address my language needs for around 6 months in the first quarter of 2019, which untimely helped to land a different position with greater confidence.
From the beginning until the end of our sessions she spent the right amount of time and dedication to review my progress and make adjustments to our sessions accordingly, so you I was never having that feeling of not making progress for whatever reason.
I encourage to whoever is looking for an excellent professional in the matter to contact her and let her guide you to a path of success. Alex Arguello, Software Engineer from PayPal
I worked with Shannon from Mid-May until late July. Shannon is fantastic to work with; she did a wonderful job on my resume, cover letters and linked profile page! She is extraordinarily engaging and show genuine interest in working with you. I appreciated that she spent good quality time talking with me one-on-one to get to know me, my story and what I wanted to do. She's an intelligent and caring professional that is completely relatable. I highly recommend Shannon not just for the things I mentioned above, but for any type of coaching for the intangible aspects of leadership and management. Fred Alejo from Whole Brain Consulting
I highly recommend Shannon for anyone who is looking for an interview coach! She is kind, culturally competent, and very knowledgeable! I have been working with her for a total of 4 sessions during the month of September. She has given so much tools and perspectives to better communicate during my interviews. I had two very important interviews this month for grad programs and I honestly would not have been confident as I was without her assistance. I am looking forward to working with her on an ongoing basis to help with my communication skills for my job. Maria Rodriguez, Medical Assistant
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner as a communications coach! She helped me out in the fall of 2020; at a time when my confidence was very low. I sat through some vocal exercises, which were totally helpful and we worked on my presentation. She ensured that my presentation involved bringing my authentic self when presenting. After several sessions, I felt very confident. Needless to say, the presentation was well received. I was complimented by many of the attendees. Dr. Betz (Pronouns_Any) Arroyo, Doctor of Management
I have worked with Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner from August of 2018-now on a variety of different projects. From professional writing and copy editing to speech and accent reduction, Dr. WL has done all sorts of services to help me as a professional. Since I have been seeing Dr. Shannon, I have been able to get ahead in my career for writing, for conference presentations and speaking engagements, career coaching on strategies and steps to take, and for forms for work. Below, I break down how she helped me. (See complete review on LinkedIn) Keiko Tsuda, Tim's Music
I took public speaking / presentation / interviewing coaching / consulting sessions with Dr. Wong Lerner for about a month from March 2018 until mid-April 2018. I had a high-stakes presentation to deliver for work happening in a short period of time. I had drafted some ideas for my presentation topic, but I hadn't put it all together yet. I also hadn't been in a situation such as this one in many years.
Here is what I took and still take away from Dr. Wong Lerner's sessions:
• she made me feel at ease and that my task was completely feasible, even though I wasn't sure when I first started, improving confidence and helping me feel grounded
• she helped me with feedback and comments/edits for the actual writing of the presentation which was invaluable support I needed
• she helped me with delivery, gestures, and voice, and even breathwork exercises
• she helped me feel comfortable with responding authentically to on-the-spot Q&A because of my expertise in my field, and how to situate myself in this somewhat new subject matter. (See complete review on LinkedIn)

Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner and I have worked together for the past 11 years from January 2009 -- continuing in March 2020 in collaboration for theatrical productions, as a student of mine, I served as a vocal coach, and now as a voice specialist consultant. We have worked since January 2016 -- continuing on accent reduction projects.
My work with Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner has been fruitful for my own business and education. Dr. Shannon hired me as a voice specialist consultant to work with speech and accent reduction clients from multiple cultures.
Dr. Wong Lerner and I have been working and collaborating on projects surrounding voice in many different ways, and I have worked with her to continue her education about voice and voice studies. The aptitude and level of her understanding of the way voice works is one of the reasons why we continue our partnership.
I have trained Dr. Shannon as an opera singer, and we have worked on a production of a co-created operetta that she performed solely. I have seen her challenge herself in voice and technique in a similar way she does for her clients. It has added a new dimension to the voice evaluation and pedagogy that is the foundation of my voice studio.
With each case we work on, she provides plenty of detailed testing to get a clear overview of the client habits and make specific recommendations for modification. Dr. Wong Lerner's method is not only scientific to measure the sounds clients can or can't make at the time of seeing her, but it is also being sensitive to their cultures and very humanistic. I have witnessed her working with clients, and she seems to have a way to connect with them to establish trust and to show them what lengths to they can go to improve upon their speech and professional development. I look forward to continuing our working relationship. I recommend Dr. Wong Lerner wholeheartedly without reservation. Monifa Harris, Voice Coach at Impact Online Voice Studio
