Stephen Shedletzky—or “Shed” to his friends—helps leaders listen to and nurture the voice of others. He supports humble leaders—those who know they are both a part of 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 around the world.
As a thought-leader on psychological safety in the workplace, he works with leaders in all industries where human beings work. He is the author of the forthcoming book, SpeakUp Culture: When Leaders Truly Listen, People Step up (Page Two, 2023).
After years on a corporate track, Shed was introduced to and inspired by the work of Simon Sinek and, soon after meeting him, joined his team. For more than a decade, Shed has contributed at Simon Sinek, Inc., where, as Chief of Staff and Head of Brand Experience, Training & Development, he headed a global team of speakers and facilitators. Shed continues to speak and facilitate with Simon Sinek, Inc. helping to create a more inspired, safe and fulfilled world.
Shed graduated from the Richard Ivey School of Business with a focus on leadership, communication and strategy. He also received his coaching certification from The Co-Active Training Institute. He lives in Toronto with his wife and two young children.
