Description

Stephen (Shed) Shedletzky is an author, speaker, facilitator, and coach whose work is all about empowering leaders to cultivate trusting, purpose-driven workplaces.

His first book, Speak Up Culture, explores how and why great leaders make it “safe and worth it” to speak up—and why it matters.

In our conversation, Shed shares the formative experiences that led him to his purpose, including:
🔹 Growing up with a stutter and how it shaped his perspective
🔹 Witnessing 1,000 colleagues let go on his first day at his first job
🔹 Discovering Simon Sinek’s work on purpose, deciding he wanted to work for him—and making it happen
🔹 Taking the leap to start his own company and write his book

Along the way, we dive into all things leadership, including:
✅ What challenges can teach us—and how weaknesses can become gifts
✅ Psychological safety, speak-up culture, and servant leadership
✅ The legacy Shed hopes to leave—including his plans for his next book

Shed’s book "Speak Up Culture" is wise, practical, and a great read—I highly recommend it!
