Inspire Connections!

 

Shawna Gardham, Principal

I have always enjoyed meeting people. It is incredibly inspiring to collaborate on something bigger than ourselves; it can be hard, too, but, together the work surpasses being worthwhile to become energizing and uplifting.

As an entrepreneur and creative management professional with three decades of customer relations experience, I have a reputation for diplomacy and “getting things done.” I have worked in a variety of capacities and developed a dynamic skill-set: public relations and marketing, fundraiser and event planning, project and operations management and corporate recruitment and team building. My work has taken me to secluded destinations and active urban centres - I love the balance of both.

I have been involved with the hospitality industry since my youth working in my family’s business - a remote fishing lodge off the central coast of Vancouver Island. While the nature of isolated locations drives one to be extraordinarily resourceful, being efficient and organized is essential. My roots there helped to instill methodical attention to detail in how I apply myself to everything I do. Through my career, I have fostered an innate sense of genuine care and professionalism in meeting high standards of excellent service. I love offering this vision to the clients I work with, while incorporating the unique qualities of the project at hand.

Clear and open communication is integral to my practice. I like to work with companies as an ambassador—as if they are my own—which means diving deep and engrossing myself in the spirit of the company, its culture and objectives. I thrive on learning how to negotiate new challenges, and am dedicated to getting measurable results.

Success that benefits all parties is built upon establishing effective working partnerships, which is why creating and maintaining connections is a priority for me. Through the years I have built an incredible network which has turned into a community of opportunities and a rich support system. This is an immense resource I can draw from and connect you with in our work together.

If you’re wondering how or where to begin—don’t hesitate to reach out. Simply starting the conversation is step one; together we will craft a strong foundation to achieve the goals ahead.

I look forward to hearing from you.
