In this episode of the Legend Effect Podcast, host Howie Chan interviews Stephen Shedletzky,  a global keynote speaker, a leadership coach, and the author of Speak Up Culture, a book that's redefining how we think about psychological safety and organizational influence.
They delve into leadership, influence, and, more specifically, how to create a speak-up culture that empowers and impacts change, whether in one-to-one conversations, within our families, communities, or companies.
The discussion emphasizes that influence doesn't start when you talk; it starts when others feel they can. Stephen provides the key to effective influence, as well as powerful, tactical insights on how anyone can build cultures where people actually want to speak up and leadership is strong.
