Inspired Outcomes Consulting is a business coaching and consulting business built on the desire to have a positive impact.
I’m Shannyn Merlo, the Founder of Inspired Outcomes Consulting, and I’ve seen the good, bad and the ugly of work environments. Having experienced the difference, I know the impact that a great organisation has on individual and organisational health, happiness and productivity. That’s why Inspired Outcomes exists; to change the world, one small business at a time.
I draw on over 20 years of experiences from diverse roles in management, marketing, project and operations management in a variety of industries, including NGOs, sport, technology, education and financial services. This background is the foundation of the strategic and creative problem solving that I use to address challenges. As a human behavioural specialist and intuitive leader, I focus on how to think innovatively to change reality. There is nothing up my sleeve; I’m authentic, and as a human, I am flawed. Overriding all of this is my drive to create positive changes in people’s lives.

HELPED ME GET FOCUSED
“I have found Shannyn’s business coaching to be insightful and incredibly valuable for helping me to get focused on my priorities for growing my business in a way that works for me. She knows her stuff and is very down to earth and compassionate. Highly recommended as a business coach!”
IT CAN BE A LONELY JOURNEY
“Being the only director in the company, it was extremely useful to have another business mind to bounce ideas back and forth with, to have the different aspects of the business analysed from a different perspective, to have the right introductions made and a kind word there when needed.
I could say that Shannyn helped me with the right balance of life and business coaching and nourished my self-confidence throughout the journey.”
RESOLVE THE THING THAT IS MAKING YOU “STUCK”
“Shannyn has such a high EQ and is able to combine the tangible, the intangible and the emotional to understand what is “really going on”.
She provided me with the tools I needed to deliver my message accurately, articulately and with confidence.”
