This page and site is undergoing a massive rennovation.
Please be patient with me as we update it.
The new look will help make it easier to find what you’re looking for and quickly decide if I might be the right guide to help you close your mindset, confidence or sales gaps.
One thing you can count on: Any consulting or coaching I offer will be founded on earned wisdom and lived experience not theory or fancy unpracticed methods.
That’s not what works for me nor would I teach you something I don’t practice myself.
There’s a word for that: integrity. And integrity builds trust.
That said, if you have a pressing need for sales/marketing mentoring or want a mindset and productivity coach who’s organized more messy projects and set and achieved more goals than I can count, I may be willing to help.
Don’t wait for a shiny website before you make a decision or your next bold move.
“I’m not here to tell you who to be. I’m here to walk with you while you figure it out.”

Send me an email and we can see how I might be able to help you move from where you are–stuck, to where you want to be–free from the incessant negative self-talk that’s been keeping you stuck without the stress of trying to figure it out on your own.

Are You My Person?
Who I Work With and Why Me
Recovery & Sobriety
Getting sober was the beginning. Building a life worth living is the real work.
Whether you’re new to sobriety, have been in recovery for years, or are supporting someone else, you know that just getting by isn’t enough. Emotional sobriety involves looking within yourself.
I’m not a recovery coach. There are many good coaches and programs that can help you, and I encourage you to seek them out. My focus is on personal growth, rebuilding careers, and supporting those ready to use the clarity and courage from sobriety to improve their lives.
Having been in recovery for over forty years, I understand how important it is to be honest, ask for help, and build a life that feels true to you.
Why choose me? Because I know what it’s like to struggle with low self-esteem and the feeling of having to figure everything out alone. Life is a team effort, and those who experience significant change see the value in being humble and open to learning. It takes courage to move forward, even when things are uncertain.
“Why I got here doesn’t matter anymore. What got me sober won’t keep me sober long-term. Lasting emotional sobriety requires surrender, trust, humility, and action — but most of all, it requires a willingness to want to change.”
— Shawn Langwell
If any of this sounds familiar, you might be ready for a conversation.
Writers & Creatives
The book in your head is doing nobody any good there.
You have something to say, but the platform feels overwhelming, and the page feels like a stranger.
I’ve been a writer long enough to know that visibility isn’t vanity. It’s service. Those who need what you have can’t find you if you’re waiting for the right time to start.
Why me? Because I’m one of you. I’m an author who spent decades serving other people’s businesses and am now applying everything I learned to build my own. I understand the struggle of wanting to say something meaningful without feeling like you’re selling yourself. That’s exactly why I can help you build the confidence and visibility to get your work in front of the people who need it.
“Don’t let process get in the way of productivity. That’s just another form of procrastination.”
— Crissi Langwell
If your work deserves a wider audience, let’s figure out how to get it there.
Sales Professionals
The best salespeople aren’t the best closers. They’re the best servers.
The quota model isn’t just a way to do business; it changes people. Most sales training focuses on what to say, but nobody mentions how it feels at 4:45 on the last Friday of the month when the sales goals aren’t met.
After 35 years in media sales, I’ve found that the difference between where most salespeople are and where they want to be isn’t about skills, but about mindset.
Why listen to me? I have 35 years of experience. I’ve worked with thousands of business leaders from various industries and have spent years helping them define what they offer and who they help.
“Sales isn’t scary when we learn to stop being afraid of rejection. Building rapport starts by showing up as ourselves — to serve, not sell.”
— Shawn Langwell
If that shift sounds like what you’ve been looking for, let’s talk.
Leaders, Managers & Executives
The leaders who will define the next decade aren’t chasing strategy. They’re building alignment.
The old way of focusing just on making money is no longer working. Leaders who realize this and change now will shape the future by understanding their true purpose in helping their teams.
Why listen to me? Because I have talked to thousands of leaders and know the difficulties they encounter. I have spent years helping them understand what they provide and why their teams and customers should trust them.
“Trying to control every outcome and being afraid to make mistakes are the biggest obstacles to team growth.”
— Shawn Langwell
If you’re ready to lead differently, I’m here.
Individuals, Solopreneurs & People in Transition
You’re not lost. You’re just between who you were and who you’re becoming.
Perhaps you left something that wasn’t working, or you’re building something new, and the gap feels bigger than expected. Now is when the work begins.
Why me? Because we cannot do it all alone. The most successful people rely on coaches and collaborators to bring their vision into reality.
“You already know what to do. You simply have to be bold enough to honor it.”
— Shawn Langwell
When you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here.
Nonprofits, Boards & Facilitators
Your mission is on the wall. Is it in the room?
Most organizations don’t have a strategy problem; they have an alignment problem.
Why me? Because I’ve been in the room. I understand the dynamics of internal communication breakdown from the inside. I have direct experience facilitating board retreats, helping organizations get aligned on their goals and roles.
“You can’t give what you don’t have. Real alignment starts on the inside.”
— Shawn Langwell
If your organization is ready for that conversation, I’m here.
“I’m not here to tell you who to be. I’m here to walk with you while you figure it out.”
