Introduction: Carlyn Shaw has 10 + years as a Coach, Facilitator & Motivational Speaker specializing in the support Men & Women to Shift Their Story, Build Confidence and Say Yes To Life. Emphasizing Support vs Sympathy and Understanding vs. Empathizing, Carlyn engages audiences with her powerful story of overcoming obstacles and turning setbacks into silver linings, including diagnosis of MS age 19 followed by the death of her best friends the same year, the loss of her front teeth as an adult and used it to open new opportunity, and ultimately how she healed herself from MS and becoming a Marathon Runner. All of these experiences lead her to create Strangers To Friends.
Strangers To Friends, a local community, is founded on her own life. Utilizing personal 'connection' cards to build confidence and initiate game changing connection, Carlyn began in The Strangers To Friends Mission in 2010 as a personal pursuit, to show the power in possibility though human connection. In a world more connected yet more disconnected, Carlyn shows we all have a purpose and people = possibilities. Her Denver Meetup has over 3000 members. She facilitates monthly events and workshops as well as group coaching.
The best compliment I received: I give people permission to give themselves permission.
I love helping people get out of their own way and become the best versions of themselves. Sometimes we need a non-objective, non- judging, perspective shifting space to see our story from a new angle and step into a new direction. Carlyn inspires people to get real with themselves, turn take control of what they can control, create action steps and ultimately build self confidence and self love.
