Shaun Banks coaches and mentors people in businesses, organizations and literally hundreds of families and individuals, helping them develop into peak performers in various areas of life including: better personal performance, optimal health, greater self-esteem, heightened focus, stronger discipline and quick action-taking.
Shaun’s passion for developing and cultivating lives using effective, applicable and easy to grasp techniques started back in 1995 when he used to teach martial arts in his family’s backyard to friends in the neighborhood who were being bullied. Growing up, Shaun interned at various recording studios as a writer/musician and constantly work on creative and savvy ways to keep money in his pocket like a lawn service, walking neighborhood dogs or cleaning out the neighbor’s garages in the Spring.
As a young adult, Shaun’s ability to create win-win opportunities payed off big in real-estate, insurance and direct sales, where he learned the value of providing great customer service, loving people, being numbers-driven for greater productivity and becoming self-competitive.
Banks is the founder of Camp Warrior King (campwarriorking.com), a summer camp and year-round personal development program that serves hundreds of youth, exposing them to extracurricular activities such as fishing, horseback riding and archery as well as an intense educational curriculum such as grade appropriate mathematics, science, social studies and reading.
