WHO I AM

Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner is a solo entrepreneur who has run her heart-centered communication business since 2016.

My mission is to empower diverse professionals and entrepreneurs as communicators, for their personal brand, and as speakers. I help clients who seek entry into graduate school, a new job, to enter a new industry, to receive a promotion, and to level up to become industry leaders. I consider myself to be a unicorn because I don't know of another queer BIPOC, API communication coach & consultant who provides a full-service ONE STOP SHOP for diverse people. I know what it's like to be silenced. And to feel invisible in the academic and professional world. It is my life's calling to share what I've learned in the last 20 years. But I can't do it alone. I seek another unicorn to help me continue this work. Come join my company and grow with me as a professional and person!

SEARCHING FOR A UNICORN 🦄

I am looking for a highly motivated, curious, warm-hearted, hard-working, virtual assistant who prides themselves on being a good communicator, detail-oriented, and a self-starter. If you believe in my efforts and think your core values and skill set fit with the goals and aims of my business. Contact me. I would love to hear from you.

My mission is to empower all diverse people including but not limited to: BIPOC, API, LGBTQIA+, GNC–genderqueer, non-binary, and trans individuals. And most especially I am always inclusive of BIPOC, API GNC–genderqueer, non-binary, and trans voices.
