JEFFREY SHAW
“Create with passion. Serve with all your might. Be Prosperous.”
Jeffrey Shaw is a transformational leader. How ironic is it that the guy who spent 30 years bringing life INTO focus as one of the countries most successful portrait photographers is now freeing creative entrepreneurs around the world to leverage their lack of focus to diversify their businesses and live fulfilling lives.
He is a passionate realist.
Frequently described as an "inspirational speaker that is current and relevant" his real-life anecdotes are relatable and impactful. Jeff shows people how to bridge the gap between innate passions and real profits.
A speaker that is equal parts creative thinker and successful business owner, Jeff has the distinct advantage of providing inspiration from the trenches. Whether he is delivering a keynote, workshop, or one-to-one coaching session his approach is grounded in real life experience, extensive professional training and humor.
Jeff began his career as a highly-sought after portrait photographer for an exclusive clientele. His portraits have appeared on The Oprah Show, in “O” magazine, People Magazine, CBS news, and on the cover of New York Family Magazine. Well into his photography career he became a trained business coach from The Coaches Training Institute in an effort to help other creative thinkers get connected to their purpose and create prosperity. His insights are thought provoking; frequently turning conventional wisdom "upside down" to offer entrepreneurs a way to develop a sustainable business that is both profitable and on purpose. His published writings and business eGuides have been cited in various trade journals and online sources.
Jeff is an active speaker, coach and photographer when he is not creating new programs and joint ventures. His goal is to positively impact a minimum of 50,000 people each year with his relatable style and timely content.

~ Success Summit Attendee ~ Rhea Lewis
“You stopped me in my tracks and immediately had my full attention when I heard you speak. It’s just that it felt like you hit me over the head and said wake up and do this! I kept hearing you tell me..dive deeper..dive deeper..what is your real purpose..where does it come from..what has been the catalyst in my career choice?
It wasn’t easy, and I will admit that it was very emotional, but I got through it and it was like a new light been cast down on my path. So many things and so many of the choices that I have made over the years suddenly began to make sense. All along I have been seeking this balance, and I didn’t even know it was happening. What a beautiful gift you have given me and many others.”
~ PPSNYS Conference ~ Barbara Bovat, Cr. Capital-Champlain Section Chairman

He was so engaging and informative, that the hour and a half program left us all wishing for more!”
~ PPANE Conference ~ Bernard E. Littlefield, CPP, Past President PAM & PPANE
“What I enjoyed about Jeff's program was that it was mostly meat and not fluff. His program is perfect for the seasoned pro as well as newbies. If you want a speaker who can really make the audience think - then Jeffrey Shaw MUST be on the list of speakers.”
~ ImagingUSA attendee~ Mariah Ashley
“Another lecture we attended literally blew my mind. Seriously, my mind exploded around minute 45 of Jeffrey Shaw’s, Prosperity & Purpose. It does hurt a little when your mind explodes, which would account for the sobbing and sniffling. Seriously, it was embarrassing. Jeffrey had many great things to teach us about our business, but what he taught me about myself has forever altered me as a human being.”
