MEET MORE OF OUR 2024 WOMEN OF DISTINCTION
Shanita Rowsey’s dynamic career is a result of following her own advice. As a life coach, Rowsey helps women identify root challenges, break through brain fog and find actionable steps to help reach their goals.
Rowsey worked in corporate analytics at Northwestern Mutual, graduated from Mount Mary University with a Master of Business Administration, and is now the marketing director for WKLH 96.5 and Jammin 98.3 radio stations. She has also written four books, her latest being The Power of You.
“My passion for life coaching grew out of a desire to help people overcome their personal challenges,” Rowsey says. “Life coaching allows me to connect with people on a personal level, helping them to identify and break through the barriers that hold them back.”
“Personal development is crucial because it helps you grow continuously.”
Rowsey offers complimentary consultations that can lead to coaching sessions, in which she helps women cultivate their vision and set goals. From there, she also offers three- and six-month coaching sessions.
“It’s not just about success in your career or public life, but about addressing the issues behind the scenes that can affect your overall well-being,” she says. “If you don’t work on yourself, those unresolved issues will eventually surface. Personal development ensures that you’re always evolving and prepared for the opportunities life presents.”
