> Corporate Exit Strategist helping burned-out corporate women strategically replace their income and leave on their own terms — without quitting first.

> ## About

Shannon Baird is a Corporate Exit Strategist and creator of the Corporate Exit Method™ — a four-phase framework (Awareness, Clarity, Strategy, Execution) for transitioning from corporate employment to a service-based business without financial instability or burnout-driven decisions.

She spent 11 years in corporate before being laid off on Valentine's Day, then built the frameworks she wished she'd had. She also holds a doctoral research focus on gendered AI adoption.

## Core Framework

The Corporate Exit Method™ guides women through:
- Phase 1 Awareness: Recognize burnout as signal, not problem
- Phase 2 Clarity: Calculate Freedom Number, set exit date
- Phase 3 Strategy: Build one service-based offer, replace income before resigning
- Phase 4 Execution: Exit on your own terms and timeline
