Shelley Paxton Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Former Chief Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson, now Chief Soul Officer on a mission to help leaders and organizations reimagine success and reshape culture in ways that celebrate our humanity, wellbeing, and soul. Shelley is a badass advisor, bestselling author of Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel’s Guide to Finding Your Best Life, and sought-after keynote speaker who’s been called “the next Brené Brown.” Her trailblazing work has been featured on NBC, CBS, Forbes, Inc., Thrive Global, Business Insider, and the TEDx stage.

Shelley is a 26-year advertising and marketing veteran whose legacy is imprinted on iconic global brands like McDonald’s, Visa, and Harley-Davidson.

Now Chief Soul Officer, she’s helping leaders and organizations reimagine success and reshape culture in ways that celebrate humanity, wellbeing, and soul. Her influential work is an empowering antidote to burnout, attrition, and disengagement. It’s gained recognition on platforms like NBC, CBS, Forbes, Inc., and Thrive Global, making her a respected thought leader, advisor, and sought-after keynote speaker who’s been called “the next Brené Brown.” She’s also inspiring the next and current generation of leaders as an Adjunct Lecturer at Northwestern University and a longstanding guide to female c-suite leaders within Chief.
