Stephen Shedletzky

Stephen Shedletzky—or “Shed” to his friends—helps leaders make it safe and worth it for people to speak up. He supports humble leaders—those who know they are part of both the problems they experience and the solutions they can create— as they put their people and purpose first. A sought-after speaker, coach, and advisor, Shed has led hundreds of keynote presentations, workshops, and leadership development programs. He's also spent more than a decade working alongside Simon Sinek. As a thought leader on psychological safety in the workplace and creating speak-up cultures where people and organizations thrive, he works with leaders around the world and serves clients in all industries where human beings work. He’s also the author of Speak-Up Culture: When Leaders Truly Listen, People Step Up (publish date October 3, 2023). He graduated from the Ivey Business School with a focus on leadership, communication, and strategy, and received his coaching certification from the Co-Active Training Institute. Shed lives in Toronto, Canada, with his wife and two children. Click here to purchase Speak-Up Culture.
