Biography

From a young age, Shaun McAndrew was destined to ascend to achievement. Her Dad was a teacher, and her mom was a stock broker, instilling in her both a desire to learn and grow. Her dad always pushed her to be a high achiever, teaching her the importance of standing her ground and realizing her own value. As a result, she was an accomplished student, which set the stage for an upward trajectory. After school, she immediately entered Naval service, launching an impressive 27 year career as a helicopter pilot and Commanding Officer, during which she led a squadron of 500 people and 17 aircraft, producing an average of 200 qualified students annually. Her squadron also received the Ellyson Award for the most efficient production squadron in the Navy. Throughout her tenure, she focused on leadership development, productivity, and efficiency. When the time came to return to civilian life, she was perfectly poised for a natural transition into consulting and coaching, helping innovative business owners and executives with an ‘aerial perspective’ to streamline their processes, refine their offers, and monetize their services.

Today, Shaun is known as the Aerial Advisor, and her mantra is “Think Forward, Choose Excellence”. She specializes in helping small business owners with a holistic approach to growing their business. She’s most known for finding ‘6 figures in 60 minutes’ through her unique and exclusive Rapid Altitude Assessment. Shaun teaches a systematic, proven process to overcome internal obstacles, align leaders and refine systems. Her clients rely on her aerial perspective and optimistic mindset to help them solve major challenges and deliver a product or service to market seamlessly and successfully.

Passion

"I want to leave the world a better place than I found it, one person or organization at a time." I feel this phrase in my gut. This passion drove me even when I couldn't speak it out loud. I do enjoy learning and challenges, seeing them as two sides of the same coin.

I am willing to travel

More than 100 miles
