Shelley Paxton

In a post-pandemic world dominated by burnout, attrition, and an urgent search for greater meaning, my signature I Quit So You Don’t Have To! keynote is the essential roadmap for redefining success in a way that feels more energizing and less exhausting. I share insights from my 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). My actionable S.O.U.L. principles are energizing leaders to champion change in their lives, companies, and the world.

If you’ve heard one too many that-was-super-inspiring-but-how-the-hell-do-I-apply-to-my-life keynotes, then look no further. My talk is a trailblazing mix of inspiration and interactivity from the main stage to ensure that the audience walks away uplifted and in motion.

Let’s create Ripples of Impact (ROI) together.

PSST… I Quit So You Don’t Have To! can be delivered as a keynote, a workshop, or a custom curated combination. Live or virtual, of course.

Imagine a bolder, braver, more badass world.
Where success isn’t measured by busy-ness and burnout,
But by wellbeing and soul.
Where leaders can thrive without sacrificing their humanity.
And organizations embody the belief that ROI is not only Return on Investment,
But also Ripples of Impact.
The kind of ripples that can only radiate from cultures filled with energized, inspired, and healthy humans.
This radical reimagining of our work cultures isn’t just possible – it’s essential.
It’s the empowering antidote to burnout, disengagement, and attrition.
It’s an invitation to quit defining success in a way that no longer serves people or profit.
The real future of work is a celebration of our humanity, wellbeing, and soul.
We’re being called to create it together.
And Shelley is here to help your organization blaze the trail.
