"God is a relationship; we are relationship people" ~ Shana Price

Shana Price is the Founder and CEO of The Connection Guru®, a relationship‑building strategist with more than 30 years of service‑driven leadership. She equips students with the confidence, communication skills, and social capital they need to thrive in academic, professional, and real‑world environments.

As the owner of “The Connection Guru®,” Shana specializes in networking, communication, conflict resolution, and relationship management. Her work blends research‑based frameworks, high‑energy facilitation, and culturally responsive teaching—creating learning experiences that are engaging, practical, and transformative for today’s students.

Shana’s passion for connection began early. At just seven years old, she delivered her first speaking performance, narrating a full play verbatim at Victory Christian Center. Since then, she has become a sought‑after facilitator, speaker, and emcee for organizations and events across the Carolinas and beyond. Her experience includes:

• Networking Coach & Community Ambassador for Stiletto Boss University (2016–Present)

• Founder of Y.E.N. – Youth Entrepreneurs Networking (2018–2020), empowering youth to build entrepreneurial confidence and peer‑to‑peer networks

• Curator of We Meet We Eat™, a high‑level networking experience for women leaders (2019–Present)

• Trainer and facilitator for institutions such as Remington College, Self‑Help Credit Union, Carod Properties Realty, and She Built This City

• Featured speaker and emcee for events including the Stiletto Boss Pitch Competition, Rich Black Woman Tour, High Vibe Summit, Women’s Business Center Conferences, and more

Her signature tool, The Networking Bible®, helps students and professionals alike build intentional, effective, and sustainable relationships. She is also known for introducing the Networking Map, a practical framework she has taught at conferences, summits, and student development programs.

Across classrooms, campuses, and community spaces, Shana’s mission remains the same: to help people connect with confidence, communicate with clarity, and build relationships that open doors.

When she’s not teaching or speaking, Shana enjoys life with her husband of 21 years and their two daughters—continuing to model the power of connection at home and in every space she enters.
