SO, WHO AM I?

Hello, I’m Shayn De Mur, founder of Zen in the Zone.

Zen in the Zone is a consulting and training platform that was created with women in fintech in mind.

As a former IT project manager, recognizing and mitigating risk is my sweet spot.

It took me years and numerous transitions to discover the strategy that would put me on the path in alignment with my purpose - competitive intelligence-backed business continuity consulting for women in fintech.

Here’s my story

A few years ago I was a stockbroker at one of the largest brokerages in the world. I was doing well. It was the first and only time both of my parents told me they were proud of me. Everyone thought I was the picture of success.

But, I had a dirty little secret – I felt completely unfulfilled inside.

There was a massive void. As a result, I felt like a total fraud – a failure.

Everyday I would put on my armor so that I could go out into the world and keep up this facade so that my parents could continue to be proud and others around me could have someone to aspire to.

I kept this up so that everyone else could be happy. But I was in pain.
One morning I simply could not put my foot down to get out of bed. It was in that moment that I decided NO MORE.

I submitted my resignation that day. I decided that day that it was my mission to find “the thing” that was missing in my life.

That was the day Zen in the Zone started to take shape.

This mission has led me on a journey where I received ICF accredited coach training, a PMP (project management professional certification), agile certifications (A-CSM, CSPO, ICAgile CAT), and MBA.

Today, I use my experience to guide people just like you through competitive intelligence-backed business continuity consulting.
