Sean K. Shahkarami is a visionary leader, entrepreneur, author, executive and corporate coach, adjunct college professor, and public speaker.
For his work in education, coaching, speaking in University classrooms, and his first book, "Resonate - Principles of Peak Performance" he has been awarded the Outstanding Leadership Award and is the keynote speaker at the Education 2.0 Conference in Las Vegas this coming March 2024.
His work as an exceptional entrepreneur and leader, Sean is featured on the cover of the "Top 100 Innovators and Entrepreneurs Magazine" and for his start up healthcare AI software business, has also been awarded the Outstanding Leadership Award at the Heath 2.0 Conference.
However, the awards and recognition, are a symbol of long-term gratification as Sean's journey began ten years ago when he suffered a traumatic car accident that resulted in a severe concussion leading him to leave his dream job in investment banking to recover and causing him to question his purpose in life.
His path was marked by breakthroughs, trials, and triumphs, leading him to become one of the youngest directors in a global accounting and consulting firm. Sean's true passion, however, lies in leadership development and inspiring major breakthroughs in others through his books, coaching, and speaking messages.
Sean grew up lower middle class and has overcome much adversity in his life including his car accident and brain injury, was diagnosed with a rare and debilitating disease called gastroparesis that he manages holistically with nutrition and exercise, beating obesity as a child and then again as an adult, losing a close friend in a car accident and a beloved uncle to a drug overdose, and prevailed through a battle with long-COVID in late 2020 to become the successful man he is today.
Despite the odds and adversity, Sean has a long track record of success. On top of the awards already mentioned, Sean is a CPA (Certified Public Accountant), CFF (Certified in Financial Forensics), holds his Masters of Accounting from TCU, and is a certified Peak Performance Coach through the Flow Research Collective, one of the most prestigious high-performance research organizations in the world.
Lastly, Sean has been personally trained and coached by Marcus "Elevation" Taylor and Dr. Billy Alsbrooks, two of the most highly respected motivational speakers in the world.
