OWN YOUR CAREER PATH ON YOUR TERMS
Career Strategy for Women Leaders
Own your career with confidence, clarity, and a strategic edge—without burnout, self-doubt, or getting stuck in a role that no longer serves you.
Your Career Should Work for You—Not the Other Way Around.
You followed the playbook. You did everything “right.” You’re climbing the ladder, checking the boxes, and putting in the work.
So why does it feel like something is missing?
What if your next move wasn’t about climbing higher—but about stepping into something that’s actually yours?
I’m Dr. Shannan Simms—Dr. Shans to most—and I know exactly what it’s like to wake up and realize the path you’re on no longer fits you.
For years, I pushed forward, ignoring every red flag that told me I was out of alignment—until my body and mind forced me to stop.
It took years of tough decisions, bold pivots, and redefining success on my own terms to realize this one simple truth:
Careers aren’t ladders. They’re lattices.
You don’t have to stay stuck in a role that no longer serves you just because it’s what you’ve always done.
You have options.
You don’t need a career overhaul—you need a clear strategy to move toward something that fits who you are now.
That’s where I come in.
Through The Career MOVE Method™, I help ambitious women cut through the noise, silence the doubt, and position themselves for what’s next—without hesitation, second-guessing, or waiting for permission.
Your next move isn’t about starting over. It’s about moving forward—with confidence, clarity, and an unapologetic commitment to what works for you.
Let’s make your next move your best move.
