See keynotes with Shelley PaxtonWith burnout, attrition, and disengagement still dominating headlines and impacting bottom lines, Shelley’s talk is the essential roadmap for redefining success that’s more energizing, less exhausting, and fueling a greater ROI. She shares lessons from her own journey — from Chief Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson to Chief Soul Officer on a mission to help more of us live success-FULL (not success-EMPTY). She is passionate about paying forward what she’s learned so every leader (at every level) can show up more powerfully for themselves and others. Her provocative questions and actionable insights are inspiring audiences to champion change in their lives, companies, and the world.
Depending upon the audience, Shelley’s keynote title and content can be adapted for relevance. She’s equally as adept at speaking about the individual leadership journey as she is about shifting culture to drive enterprise growth. In service of the latter, two alternatives are “I Quit So Your People Don’t: Flip the Cultural Script from Burnout to Badass” and “Ripples of Impact: The New ROI for Driving Growth”.
Audience Takeaways:
Who’s it for: Conscious leaders, across industries, looking to infuse their own success – as well as the teams and culture around them – with more humanity, wellbeing, and soul. They believe that delivering business results and feeling fulfilled are mutually beneficial, not mutually exclusive.
Formats: All talks can be delivered as keynotes, workshops, or a custom curated combination of both. Live or virtual, of course.

Shelley reels in her audience with her vulnerability, humor, and storytelling, sharing many powerful and inspiring insights. My favorite concept that myself and others will immediately adopt in our lives and leadership, is the positive reframe of Rebel FOR vs. Rebel AGAINST. What a game changer!

Shelley’s authenticity and relatability as a former c-suite executive are so refreshing. And her genuine, soul-led passion for helping leaders at every level to show up more powerfully in their lives and work is viscerally experienced in every insight and idea she shares. We recently had her on a thought leadership panel and she left an incredible impression yet again on so many within our community. Our global community left feeling energized and empowered to define their own path toward success-FULL. We’ll definitely invite her back.

Shelley is a force of nature. She just spoke to the members of The Outlier Project and as soon as it was over my phone blew up which was no surprise. The value she delivered was off the charts and her passion, authenticity and energy are all next level. Shelley is funny, brilliant, engaging and a beautiful soul.

Shelley is a first responder of the soul. Her message about what it looks like to approach success with more humanity, wellbeing, and soul, is critical for leaders of today and tomorrow. Her work should be mandatory in universities and companies.
