Coaching & Consulting

Present. Collaborative. Effective.

Shannon understands people. He specializes in high-performing teams. A multiple-time national and world champion skydiving competitor, a high-performance sports coach, a leadership consultant and a business owner, Pilcher’s effectiveness with people lies in his ability to level the playing field within diverse working groups by raising members’ awareness of their individual differences. Having a deeper understanding of each other’s strengths naturally cultivates a renewed appreciation for the collective capacity of the whole system.

Helping Organizations Navigate Change

While continuing to work with civilian and military parachute teams, Shannon has shifted his focus to helping organizations navigate change. He is convinced that any organization — any human system — knows its internal dynamics better than any expert consultant ever could. As a senior consultant at Cascade Leadership Partners, his practice is centered around executive coaching and the alignment of high-performing leadership teams. Shannon’s chief objective as a consultant is to be the mirror for leaders and their teams, helping them to see themselves more clearly.

Shannon’s clients seek his services because they want to ensure that the reflection they see is honest and unbiased. They understand the value of a third-party authority figure and are refreshed by his generative consulting style, one that builds on the team’s successes rather than spinning its wheels to fix its failures.

Shannon helps clients to:

Clearly identify and articulate the factors that are present when they succeed.
Collaborate on possibilities for the future.
Agree on the best plan for achieving that future state.
Develop metrics and practices for sustaining that future state.
Envision or Re-envision the Vision, Values and Mission.
Navigate any kind of organizational change.
Improve team dynamics.
Uncover the root cause of problems.
Improve communication throughout the company.
Develop better internal feedback loops.
Capitalize on the diversity of its people.
Facilitate executive or stakeholder retreats.

Shannon is an excellent teacher and a shining example of how to live life to its fullest, through both triumph and tragedy. An inspiration to me, and to everyone around him. He brings out the best in people. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
