About
The Moxy Lab
Founded in 2013 by Shana Cordon, The Moxy Lab, along with its advisors and agents, have now served hundreds of clients across four continents. Working with everyone from small not-for-profits to Global Fortune 500 corporations, The Moxy Lab’s goal is always the same:
We want a world which communicates better. Communication is at the core of the human experience. Poor communication is bad for business, harmful to interpersonal relationships, and disruptive to communities and even to nations. Great communication empowers collaboration, fosters trust, and moves us forward.
Listen Intelligently. Communicate Artfully. Collaborate Expertly.
That’s The Moxy Lab.
