Our Team
FOUNDER
Dr. Shawne Duperon never expected that a 5-minute video on forgiveness would spark a global movement. Yet it did – going viral, garnering worldwide media attention, inspiring figures like Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and even earning a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
With a PhD in communication and a social media reach in the millions every month, this Six-Time EMMY® winner is recognized as one of the most innovative voices in healing and conflict resolution communication.
Dr. Shawne educates corporations, universities, governments, and entrepreneurs on mastering high-pressure communication to drive engagement, retention, agility, and strategic disruption in the workplace. Her progressive live streams and virtual facilitations on forgiveness in leadership are known for amplifying inclusion, respect, and emotional intelligence.
Courageously sharing her personal journey of forgiveness after childhood trauma, Dr. Shawne not only speaks on the power of healing but also creates evidence-based curriculum that equips leaders to cultivate a culture of forgiveness and resilience in their own organizations.
