About Sharon

I spent twenty years as an Emmy Award-winning TV journalist, and every story taught me the same thing: trust is built one connection at a time. Today I help organizations turn trust and relationships into their competitive advantage. I call it The Connection Economy. When leaders invest in relational capital, they keep their best people, earn loyal customers and outperform competitors still competing on price and perks. I’m a Certified Speaking Professional, TEDx speaker, university lecturer and I bring newsroom-honed stories that make that idea stick long after the event ends.
