Hi! It's Me!
Hi! I'm Shawna Flager and I'm so glad that you've stopped by. Let me tell you a bit about me.
I'm orignially from Louisiana, not the cool part that you might know, but from a small town right smack in the middle of the state, Alexandria. I have spent all of my adult life in Florida, first Tallahassee and now St. Augustine.
I started my career in Information Technology in 1995 and have not looked back, though I certainly went through some hard times. Layoffs and economic downturns in the tech sector happen and I learned to diversify myself as a person which is where I found my love of health and fitness.
I was part of a ownership group of a gym for a few years, working to improve marketing, membership rates, and managing our staff. It was an amazing experience and my first forey into small business ownership.
I have over 5 years of coaching experience both in corporate and individual settings. I currently hold an ICF ACC certification. My certifications require that I have 500+ hours of coaching and I am currently working on my Professional Coaching Certification through ICF (PCC).
I have always been one to volunteer and now that I've fully settled into St. Augustine, FL, I've made it a priority to give back to the community. As an ally, I am currently serving as a board member of House of Prism, the local resource for the LGBTQIA+ community. In addition, I am this year's co-chair for the North East Florida Equality Florida steering commitee, of which I've been a member for almost 4 years.
I am an advocate for all human rights and believe we all deserve to be seen, heard, and have access to live as our authentic selves without discrimination. I abide by the Ethical Standards of ICF.
I feel my values and beliefs as a human lends itself well to coaching and I hope you will give me a chance to help you reach your goals and overcome your challenges.
Also, this is my dog Taco. Because he is often in the room with me during my virtual sessions taking a nap, I thought you might like to meet him. He's nearly 18 years old and does what he wants when he wants. He's a real go-getter, napping go-getter that is.
