Up Your Game Radio!  Join us as we interview Stephen Shedletzy on his work with Simon Sinek’s team at Start With Why.

Stephen wakes up every day to connect with people in meaningful ways so that we live in a more fulfilled world. He supports leaders to create environments where their people feel inspired to go to work and feel safe while they are there, so they can go on to accomplish remarkable things. He challenges teams to assess their relationship with technology, bringing the perspective that perhaps what we believe brings us together, is the very thing that isolates us. Though technology is a powerful tool, Stephen believes that when we disconnect from it, we are more able to connect, create and innovate!

As the founder of InspirAction and movement correspondent with Simon Sinek’s team at Start With Why, Stephen serves those inspired by the message to inspire and live in service to others. In his engaging and dynamic style, Stephen speaks, leads workshops, consults and coaches to help leaders and organizations discover, articulate and live their Why – their driving purpose, cause or belief. He also co-hosts and co-produces the Start With Why Podcast, downloaded in over 140 countries.

“Happiness is fleeting. Fulfillment is lasting. !  We don’t have to like every day to love every day.” Stephen Shedletzky

“Confidence is a habit that can be developed by acting as if you already had the confidence you desire to have.” ~Brian Tracy Some people are born with self-confidence; most of us have to work at it. In today’s world that so strongly emphasizes the importance of self-confidence; you have no choice but to spruce up your confidence level or you’ll be left far behind in the rat race and never be able to rise above it. Without confidence, you will never be able to lead the life that you want. Confident people are successful people. They stick out a mile don’t they? The difference between those that succeed and those that do not is confidence. Confident people are successful people. They stick it out until they get what they want. This is because they confidently believe in their goals and their own ability.
