Hi, I'm Shannon Upton, a Christian Speaker and Author. I love to help women use a little organization to clear out their spiritual clutter. I've been informing and entertaining audiences as a Christian speaker since 2011, and it's my favorite thing to do! I speak at retreats, conferences, luncheons, dinners, banquets, and more. I feel blessed during each and every engagement, and with God's help I try to be a blessing—to the coordinator and to every women who attends. I'm the author of the Organizing You books, Christian self-help books that help women to clear out their spiritual clutter. I also offer many free resources at my website, OrganizingJesusMoms.com. As a former high school teacher, I love to use my teaching skills to help Christian women live intentionally and grow closer to Christ. I'm also a wife and mother of three amazing kids. I live in the Columbus, OH area and attend Cypress Wesleyan Church.

Owner & Chief Human Resources Officer

As a human resources executive, I have had the distinct honor to work on the "people side" of the business.

At Litchfield Human Resources Management, we consult with leaders to prevent, improve, or even fix organizational people problems. People are all organization's greatest asset, and ensuring that they are engaged, informed, motivated, and INSPIRED is the key to personal and organizational success. This is no easy feat. It takes stamina, guts, and sometimes blood, sweat, and tears (ok not literally blood, but sweat and tears may be necessary) to have breakthrough moments in organizations and individuals. If you or your organization want to get on the path to greater accountability, productivity, happiness, and motivation, we need to work together. We coach, train, and inspire people to be exceptional leaders. Some of my clients include: - American Pacific Mortgage - California Department of Transportation - Cambria Solutions - California Department of Human Resources - CPS HR Consulting - California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation - California Department of Technology Today is the day that you and the leaders in your organization need to get started on working better!

Badass: someone who is unapologetically and authentically themselves. Someone who faces their fears (not just physical) and finds power in their vulnerability. That is a badass. You might Google Michelle C Smith and find an accomplished Stunt Woman and Acrobat who’s worked on tv/movies such as Deadpool, Arrow, Smallville, etc. Her accomplishments speak for themselves, she’s a professional and her industry recognizes her for that. However, Michelle’s story is so much more than just her accomplishments. It’s the story about her path to becoming a Professional Badass. A journey to “badassery" that began at a young age and leads down a path of losing an essential part of her integral being: her authenticity. Her story begins with her batons... At the age of 5, Michelle C Smith threw herself wholeheartedly into the sport of baton twirling. At 11, and for eight years thereafter, she competed at the World Championships and took home bronze, silver, and gold medals. It was clear, Michelle had what it took to beat the competition and she loved it. She was good at what she did, and her performance was her art. Her batons were her world. They always took full priority. She placed her value and worth on the 32 inches of her apparatus. With every toss, every twirl, she searched for acceptance and love. From her peers. Her judges. Her family. Herself. Her wins equaled her worthiness, her validity, her ability to be loved. However, what was often overlooked in Michelle’s competitive career was a deep struggle with performance anxiety and mental health. It was a silent weight, heavy on her young shoulders and a puzzle Michelle desperately wanted to solve. Hoping that the next competition would be the one where she “figured it all out” and performed to her FULLEST potential. Finally, at the age of 19 at the World Championship in Barcelona, at what should have been the last bravado of a successful career, distracted by the pressures she had placed on herself, Michelle’s love and value came crashing to the ground. She lost. Every smack of her batons on the floor signaled defeat. Bang. Devastation. Bang. Anger. Bang. Embarrassment. What Michelle didn’t know then was that this would be the start of her radical awakening. A radical self-discovery that would be cultivated through heartache and pain but would intimately bring her back to her authentic self. After vowing to put her batons down for good, she moved to Vancouver and started working for a professional circus company. She learned new skills, enjoyed playing and discovering different ways to move her body. But a small voice in her gut kept whispering: “Michelle, your batons. Remember your batons!”. Pushing through the voice, she did what she does best: train and work. Avoid the pain. But for however long her resume grew, she never felt successful. Validation and acceptance eluded her and she always felt something was missing. After no longer being able to ignore that gut feel

Nothing is more exciting than to watch individuals develop and grow. Early in my business career I realized that it is a privilege as well as a responsibility to coach and help develop people to success. To help make an impact, one person at a time, one group, or one business at a time, can affect so many lives and so many dreams. To have the ability to help others realize more potential and to push them to higher limits beyond even their wildest dreams and expectations is the most fulfilling experience a leader can have. This love is why I wake up each day excited, focused and in awareness that I may find and help that next person, team, or business. My Mission Statement: To pay it forward by elevating leadership development one person, one team and one organization at a time. "Leaders are individuals that choose to be coachable and are hungry to learn and develop. Servant leaders advance because they believe humility is a strength, not a weakness, which allows them to understand they can learn from everyone, and they do. Great leaders build everything on a solid foundation of values and principles and their reward is the success and growth of those they lead. Great leaders pay it forward." Early in my career I had the privilege of employing several single mothers. This was not a strategy as it grew organically as one single mother would refer another. Each had the “I cannot fail attitude” and they would ask about extra items they could study and would seek out my coaching. Our location, which was part of a worldwide franchise operation won the most outstanding location from over 260 worldwide at that time. Their success truly drove my success and was a clear example that the more I focused on their success, the more mine grew naturally. It helped my see servant leadership in action, as the best way to build long term success. From that point on, I have worked to pay it forward in working with women leaders or those aspiring to be leaders for them to grow, develop and contribute.

One of the most heartbreaking challenges in my life has been rebuilding my life since losing my 20 year old son in a car accident in 2008. The pain and grief was utterly overwhelming. Without prior knowledge of songwriting or the music industry, I felt compelled to begin writing and singing songs to and for my son. This humble beginning turned into a career. I have written and produced three CDs since he passed. My music videos are on YouTube (with 300,000 views), and my songs are available online in music outlets such as iTunes and Amazon. This is my story of how I used music to lift me out of the the depths of despair.
