EnCOURAGE Your Wellness

Bershan wasn’t born a warrior, she became one. Fourteen years ago, Bershan Shaw, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and given 3 months to live. Now, 14 years later, Bershan is disease free and has committed her life to empowering women, men, executives, entrepreneurs, politicians, and global leaders to find their inner warrior in their career and life & to ‘Step into their Greatness.’ Bershan is “dy- namic, energetic and has a gift for connecting with people.” She helps her clients get the results they need. Nicknamed “The Warrior Business Coach” by her clients, Bershan has turned her struggle into success and lives to do the same for others. She has appeared on countless TV shows and networks in- cluding ABC, NBC, CBS, OWN, News Talk Live, Good Day NY, Fox, Arise, TVOne, News 11, and more.

Bershan Shaw didn’t earn the nickname “The Warrior Coach” by accident. Her career as a sought-after international motivational speaker, business coach, women’s advocate, and author was forged through her dedication, perseverance, and a brush with death. As a two-time breast cancer survivor with a three-month prognosis, Bershan summoned her inner warrior to conquer the impossible, defy the odds, and beat her illness. Now, she uses her leadership skills to bring a no-nonsense approach to motivate others. Bershan founded Warrior Training International (WTI) to help individuals and corporations reach their full potential. During the pandemic, Bershan realized there was a need for a community to speak, support, and empower each other by using their phones. People were depressed, stressed, and tired, so she decided to birth a mental health app called URAWarrior “where UR not alone & you don’t have to suffer in silence.” This app is like no other as it’s a one-stop shop. URAWarrior will provide four pillars to heal the individual: personal development, self-improvement, motivation, and support. Many would say Bershan is a multi-preneur because she successfully has her hands in many businesses but they all stem from the same foundation – Mental wellness. She connects the mind, body, and spirit. This app is her baby that she hopes can change the world, one person, at a time. She wants to leave the world with this app behind so others can heal through human connection.

Bershan’s an industry pioneer in transformational coaching, executive leadership training, and diversity & inclusion implementation. She and her team coach execs in technology, consumer products, emotional intelligence, and unconscious bias. Her unique background, dynamic presenting style, humor, real-world techniques, and practical strategies leave every audience, from Amazon to Facebook, Merrill Lynch, Google, Essence Music Festival to UBS to VCU Massey Cancer Center to Johns Hopkins University and so much more feeling energized, transformed, and ready to take on new challenges. Her media appearances include features on NBC, ABC, CBS, HUFF POST, WENDY, FOX, BRAVO and OWN.
