First Keynote of the 2024 Ops Boss® Leader Retreat Announced!
Shannon Selig | Owner, Rêve Coaching
Keynote: Perfectly Imperfect - Pushing past yourself to build a BIG life
Shannon was immersed in the world of real estate from a young age and grew up observing her mother's tenacious skills in the industry. Today, Shannon is creating her own legacy while living her vision of inspiring others through her actions, words and music.
Shannon's successes are vast & eclectic . . .spanning industries (from Recording Artist to Realtor®) and spanning not only multiple states (from Tennessee to Maine), but continents (from North America to Europe).
Shannon launched a new agent coaching program at age 25, where she recruited 50 agents and generated over $20 million in sales in the first six months. Her talents were recognized and she was recruited to run a top Keller Williams office as team leader. Within three years, she helped grow the number of agents from 300 to more than 500, with sales volume of $1.2 billion per year.
Shannon took her vision to new heights by spreading her talents around the world. After opening 16 franchises as "Directrice des Operations" with Keller Williams France in 18 months, Shannon returned to her passion for coaching and training with her own company Rêve Coaching.
Today, serving the largest real estate agencies in the United States with more than $1.5 billion in sales volume and coaching multiple number one franchises overseas, Shannon is helping leaders change their lives worldwide.
"I am living what I tell my leaders: if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn’t change you. Through this journey, I am challenged and changed for the better every day.” - Shannon Selig
