EPISODE 20 – SHANNON TEBB – ON PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE, AUTHENTICALLY CONNECTING WITH OTHERS AND MASTERING THE ART OF COMMUNICAITON

Today we are talking with Shannon Tebb a boutique matchmaker and dating expert. She is also the founder of Shanny in the City.

Shanny in the City is a great support system for singles whether you’re looking for a lifelong companion, advice on what to say on a date, where you should go to meet people in the city, what you should wear or even what the current do’s and don’ts are of the ever evolving dating world.  Shanny in the City can guide you though all the questions that you have so you can avoid looking or feeling a little bit silly because you just didn’t know.  They can help you get your love life in shape, whether it is by helping you open your heart up to love again or just helping you get excited about dating again. They are super passionate about making sure you are date ready and helping you find your perfect match.

Shannon went from being that friend that everyone went to for dating advice for free to creating a successful business and she is rated as one of the top 10 match makers in North America. She has helped 100’s of singles looking for love find their perfect match. Shanny was raised in a single parent household and from an early age has always been fascinated by people and relationships, in particular why some were successful, and others were not. She found it easy to identify what men loved and she became inspired to share this knowledge with other single women. She is passionate about helping single males and females gain confidence so they can attract that perfect partner. Shannon has been called the “Head Hunter for the Heart” and a “Love Witch”.

Shanny is super knowledgeable about dating and always offers such a fresh perspective on things you should be doing in order to be ready to attract your person. She loves giving people advice, tips or suggestions and genuinely wants to help people find love. I love spending time with Shanny.
