At Shannex, we are committed to supporting the growth and development of our Great People. Since 2015, our customized Leadership Development Program, Lead Blue, has been providing training and resources for leaders at varying levels of responsibility.
Some of our valued Lead Blue participants were excited to share how attending Lead Blue classes has impacted them personally and professionally:
Nicole Morgan, Workforce Coordinator
Parkland Ancaster, Hamilton, Ont.

“Participating in the Lead Blue Leadership Training sessions has truly been a turning point in my leadership journey. These sessions didn’t just help me grow in my current role—they sparked something deeper. I now see leadership as a powerful tool for influence, growth, and positive change, and I’ve discovered a new passion: training and developing others.
Lead Blue’s mission—emphasizing that leadership is one of the most critical drivers of an organization’s success—resonated with me on every level. Their sessions dive into why leadership matters, help you uncover your own unique leadership strengths, and equip you with essential skills that are practical and immediately applicable.
I now am a people leader with more confidence, clarity, and compassion—and I’m inspired to pursue opportunities where I can share what I’ve learned and help others grow too by possibly being a trainer for Lead Blue in Ontario.”
Sarah Calloway, RN, Community Manager
Embassy Hall, Quispamsis, N.B.

“I started with Shannex a year and a half ago in a leadership role and although I had 14 years of RN experience, I had no management! I have found lead blue helpful for so many reasons; I love the networking it provides and allows me to meet more people in a similar role to me that I can rely on for support. I love the scenarios and working through situations together, I found this really helpful as I was able to “act out” a difficult conversation and get some great feedback and lastly, I love the education/information on Shannex processes related to HR (i.e. step 1, conversation with staff, step 2 coaching document, step 3 PIP, etc.). Thank you for these continuing opportunities!”
Dona Jojo, Resident Experience Coordinator
Parkland Clayton Park, Halifax, N.S.

“The Lead Blue Leadership Program has been a tremendous opportunity since my first day at Shannex. I have yet to encounter any company that offers such a diverse range of courses, allowing all employees to benefit. The courses are not only theoretical but also include interactive and practical components. The group sessions provided valuable insights from experienced team members, while the theoretical materials, such as the binder and notes, proved useful for future reference. The Predictive Index assessment was especially helpful in fostering self-awareness, which ultimately helps us grow and improve as individuals.
In conclusion, I am incredibly grateful to be part of Shannex and even more thankful to be on a team that actively supports and celebrates the success of its members. These courses have played a vital role in teaching how to be both a team player and a compassionate individual.”
The Lead Blue Leadership Development Program remains a transformative experience for team members across Shannex, empowering them with the tools, confidence, and connections they need to grow as leaders. We’re proud to invest in our people and are committed to growing the next generation of leaders from within.
