Shariann Tom, Founder & President
Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, Master Cancer Journey Coach, Professional Certified Coach
5 time cancer survivor (Lymphoma & GIST)
The Cancer Journey blends two turning points for founder Shariann: surviving four bouts of lymphoma, one bout with a GIST, and making life coaching her profession. The profound contrast between facing cancer without a coach and a cancer journey with a coach inspired Shariann to start a movement dedicated to cancer patients, caregivers and survivors. “I was in a state of panic and coaching allowed me to feel I had power.” Hence, the “Panic to Powerful™ Program” and Cancer Journey Coaching was born. “I want this for everyone who is touched by cancer,” says Shariann, “it gives people access to True Healing.”
Shariann’s 16 years of coaching and coach training combined with her 16 years in Corporate America in business management, sales, and marketing, gives her the balance needed to run and operate an innovative company. Shariann is regularly asked to speak to Cancer Support Centers and health conferences across the country. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where she can be near her family, both nuclear and extended.
An interview with Shariann:
What inspires you to get up in the morning? I happily wake up in the morning knowing that there is a new adventure waiting for me. Adventures excite me because they are a chance to grow, expand, and love more.
What are you scared of? I am most scared of being taken out of the game too soon. “I came to play.”
People often underestimate the power of . . . “20-seconds of courage,” feeling our feelings, and loving ourselves.
I am in my power when . . . I get out of my head and come from my heart. Trust is a big opening of power for me as I let go of trying to control outcomes.
If you could have one super power, what would you choose? It would be multiplicity so that I can be in more places at the same time and have an abundance of experiences. I thought about being able to expand the day, but if there were multiples of me, I wouldn’t need to.
