About

Hi, my name is SHANNON, Tell us why you would make a great Hero. Being a Cognitive Coach and trained Diversional Therapist, along with years of experience supporting residents in Aged Care, I've been known to bring love, potential, joy, fun and purpose to the persons I support. I have outstanding listening skills and have also been told frequently I have the patience of a saint. I also specialise in helping people train their essential brain functions so that they can continue to live independently in their own home for as long as they can. Tell us how you will share one of your skills or hobbies to help someone in our community. Being an outstanding listener, I have huge interest in learning about someone's life story, what he/she enjoys, and what he/she dislikes. I take note of the story someone shares and with their permission, I can even help them write their life story so that they can hand down to their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren. I totally understand that loneliness is what most people live with when their children have moved out, started their own family, have grandchildren. My presence and my interest in learning about them will hopefully fill the gap a little. I often tell people I love to bring some sunshine to their lives. Being a cognitive coach, I can do word game, memory training, etc with them. I can also set some goals with them so they can have something to look forward to achieving, this will bring back purpose in life for them. What is a quote that inspires you? People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, BUT people will NEVER FORGET HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL
