About Me

I’m Shannon A. Hunter, a strategic HR leader, mediator, and trusted advisor with over 25 years of experience helping organizations work through complex people and communication challenges.

​

I’ve built and scaled HR functions across the full employee lifecycle, from establishing foundations in startup environments to supporting large, matrixed organizations, bringing a practical, real-world approach to every situation.

​

Over time, I recognized that many workplace challenges stem from unresolved conflict and breakdowns in communication. That insight led me to expand my work into mediation, where I now help individuals, businesses, and community organizations work through conflict in a structured, neutral environment.

​

As a leader, I’ve been intentional about creating psychologically safe spaces where people can communicate openly, be heard, and move past barriers that stand in the way of progress. When trust is established, conversations shift, and that’s where real solutions begin.

​

I bring that same approach to my work in HR, mediation, and leadership coaching. I partner with leaders, teams, and organizations to navigate conflict, strengthen communication, and drive better outcomes, without losing sight of the human side of the business.

​

I work with dispute resolution centers, the Better Business Bureau,  businesses, and community organizations to mediate disputes and equip leaders with practical strategies to address conflict proactively, before escalation requires formal intervention.
