What would it take a for seasoned C-Suite executive to leave the prestige, power, and pay of a position many professionals work their entire careers for? For Shannon Leppky, it was a gut feeling that it was time for a big change. And what a change it was in 2017, when  Shannon left a 9-year career at a Crown Corporation, that included a rapid ascent , where the next step was to be a likely CEO, to another eventual step living and working on a ranch with horses — with no prior experience having lived as an urbanite.

Ultimately what followed was a difficult, relentless, yet challenging and rewarding journey, with a few humbling detours along the way. That path took Shannon from the corporate office chair to the Adirondack red chair, borne from yet another significant gut moment at the family cottage.  Something powerfully symbolic about the two Adirondack chairs on the cottage’s dock caught Shannon’s attention and has never let go.  They’ve became not only her brand, but they also represent the safe and trusted space of Red Chair.
