Impactful Communication: Shannon Alter Of Leaders Exceed On 5 Essential Techniques For Becoming An…

Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series. Before we dive into our discussion about communication, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you share with us the backstory about what brought you to your specific career path?

Sometimes career twists point us in a great new direction. I graduated from USC armed with a degree in Theatre and ready to roll — until my dad suggested I find a job that actually paid! My career has included work for a prominent hotel company, shopping center developers, an anchor grocery tenant and a 1031 exchange syndicator, so it has been diverse to say the least!

I now train and consult with organizations and professionals on how they can communicate more clearly in any conversation, presentation or meeting. This has also given me a diversified viewpoint as I’ve been able to see different parts of the industry, different companies and different cultures. This has been an unexpected benefit in my own business, as I’ve had the opportunity to gain a variety of perspectives that I can share with my clients.

Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started your career?
