A sought-after speaker, coach, and advisor, Shedletzky 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 supports leaders and organizations in all industries where human beings work. He is the bestselling author of Speak Up Culture: When Leaders Truly Listen, People Step Up.
