Business:Careers
Every so often, an interview literally changes the way I see my life.
This is one of those interviews.
Whatever you’ve got going on in your life, I can almost guarantee this conversation will be a blessing to you.
But I’m getting ahead of myself!
My guest this week is the incomparable Shelley Paxton, making her second appearance on my show.
Shelley is the former CMO of Harley-Davidson and is a 26-year advertising and marketing veteran whose legacy is imprinted on iconic brands like McDonald's, Visa, and Harley-Davidson. At the pinnacle of her career as CMO of Harley-Davidson, Shelley was shocked to find herself feeling success empty instead of successful. And that awakening led her on a profound journey that became her mission, business, and bestselling book, Soulbbatical, A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life. Now Chief Soul Officer of her own life, Shelley works with leaders and teams to advocate for redefining success in ways that celebrate humanity, well-being, and soul.
Just when I think Shelley can’t get any wiser, she blows me away in a new way.
