Above the Glass hosts women’s leadership events designed for professional women to engage in meaningful discussions, gain fresh insights, and be inspired by like-minded women in a community that is dedicated to your success.
#1 New York Times-bestselling author, award-winning educator, founder, and philanthropist, Sharon McMahon is redefining how we communicate by turning confusion into clarity, inspiring change, and teaching others how to take action by doing the next needed thing.
A longtime government and law educator, Sharon became known as America’s Government Teacher during the 2020 election when she went viral for breaking down complex topics with a steadfast commitment to the facts. With equal parts levity and gravitas, Sharon has attracted a community of millions of followers – affectionately called the “Governerds.”
Sharon’s debut book, The Small and the Mighty, went to number one on all of Amazon and was celebrated as one of the best books of the year by Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and more. Her publication,
The Preamble, is dedicated to non-partisan political insights, and in its first year, grew its distribution to be larger than nearly every print newspaper in America.
She leads philanthropic initiatives that have raised millions for disaster recovery, medical debt relief, international crises, classroom grants, and more. Sharon inspires audiences with a message of hope: that we can create powerful change with our small, consistent actions.
