She was at the top of her game with one of the world’s most iconic brands, doing the work that had taken her across the world and back multiple times. From the outside looking in, things looked really good for Shelley Paxton.

But, she had a secret. Shelley would be awoken every night by the same nightmare and walked through her days with anxiety, both of which she tried to numb with busyness and alcohol. She finally reached a point where she couldn’t tolerate the pain of playing to someone else’s version of success and went on a journey to find her lost soul. Shelley no longer believes in following the rules, and wants to lead a revolution for all of us to reclaim our rebel nature and fully dance to the beat of our own music.

Bio

Think Brené Brown meets Biker Babe, with a dash of Liz Gilbert. As former Chief

Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson, Shelley Paxton found herself at the top of the

proverbial mountain feeling success-EMPTY instead of success-FULL. That awakening led

her on a profound journey that became her mission, business, and Simon & Schuster-

published bestselling book, Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life.

She’s leading a REBELution to rewrite the script of success.

Shelley’s inspiring work has been featured on NBC, CBS, Forbes, Thrive Global, Inc.,

Business Insider, Yahoo!, and a TEDx stage.

Her signature keynote – “Where Soul Meets Success” – is an essential roadmap for

leaders and organizations to redefine success in ways that celebrate humanity, well-

being, and fulfillment. It’s the post-pandemic antidote to burnout and seeking.

She’s based in Chicago (when not indulging her wanderlust) and is obsessed with mental

health advocacy and the color orange.
