Shani Taylor : CEO Los Angeles 2024 Person of the Year

Thanks to her entrepreneurial spirit, courageous leadership, and total commitment to client success, Shani Taylor has been named CEO Los Angeles 2024 Person of the Year.

Based in Sydney, Australia, Shani Taylor is a world-leading expert in the subjects of human behavior, organic marketing, sales, communication and connection. She is the author of the book ‘From Ignored to Adored: Ignite Connection and Communication Online to Attract Your Soul Mate Clients…Without Being Salesy’ and she has built an extensive international community, with clients in over 24 countries. 

Shani uses the knowledge and skills she has acquired over the past two decades to help service and product-based businesses across all industries to build sustainable and scalable businesses, amplify their message, and create a life of freedom and abundance. 

Transforming challenging beginnings into phenomenal success

Shani’s start in life was anything but simple. She was born into poverty and by the time she was a teenager, she was homeless and addicted to intravenous drugs. 

Shani got clean at 22 after falling pregnant with her son but was later held captive by a family member and repeatedly assaulted over several days, resulting in crippling PTSD. 

After years of suffering, Shani decided to take control and change her life. 

The results of this transformation are staggering. In two short years, Shani achieved a milestone that most businesses spend decades dreaming about: she scaled to seven figures in revenue. 

Recently, Shani also garnered coverage in LA Weekly, CEO Los Angeles, and Forbes, and was named a “Top Innovator and Thought Leader” in Innovator Magazine alongside Simon Sinek.

Anchoring in action to create real success

Shani teaches her clients to “master the mundane” – the art of completing repetitive actions to build momentum and grow a thriving business. 

The results of this work speak for themselves. In the second half of this year, Shani herself doubled her client numbers. She is exceptional at selling from the stage and just recently gained 30 new clients during a 90-minute keynote presentation at a Success Resources event in South Africa. 

Shani’s clients stay with her for years, because their businesses continue to scale alongside hers. 

Recent client results include a 422% increase in sales for a product-based business, consistent seven-figure months, and one made 12 months’ profit within six weeks of working together. A client who joined her just five months ago and had zero sales has just reached a massive milestone of making fifty thousand dollars in revenue and set his business strategy up now to make multiple six figures next year.

And, thanks to nominations from several of her clients, Shani was named ‘Global Coach of the Year’ at the prestigious ‘Women Changing the World Awards’ in London in May 2024. She was presented with the award by the Duchess of York. Shani has been nominated for this award again for 2025.

Amplifying impact on international stages

As a result of her impressive work, Shani has become an in-demand speaker at events around the globe. 

In 2024, Shani spoke at events in London, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Australia, and South Africa, and she has shared the stage with celebrities including Hugh Hilton, Vince Vaughn, and Elizabeth Hurley. 

Next year, Shani will speak at events across every major city in Australia, alongside more keynote engagements at events worldwide. 

Shani is a testament to the fact that with hard work, consistency, and dedication, real change is possible in anyone’s life. After an incredibly successful year, her work will continue to inspire and empower countless people globally to live authentically, lead courageously, and fully commit to their success in 2025 and beyond.
