What if the key to a healthier workplace isn’t just speaking up, but also creating the safety to do so?

In this heartfelt and insightful conversation, Stephen Shedletzky (Shed) shares the deeply personal journey behind writing Speak Up Culture. We explore "radical candor" and "candor with care", how leaders can turn feedback into fuel (not fear), and why he believes people are inherently good.

We also dive into the “pickle theory,” Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies, and how self-awareness can shift the way we listen, lead, and live. At the core is a belief that confident, compassionate communication is how we unlock their best.

If you’re ready to lead with courage and create real connection, this one’s for you.
