Kathy B. Dempsey, President of Keep Shedding! Inc., and founder of the Shedding Revolution, is an award winning author, keynote speaker and recognized change expert. She ignites organizations to SHED by empowering them with practical tools to adapt quicker and get results! As a former hospital executive, she strategically led Memorial Health Care System’s organizational development efforts to become one of the top 100 hospitals in America. Her most popular book, Shed or You’re Dead®: 31 Unconventional Strategies for Growth and Change, received a Writer's Digest International Book Award. Kathy’s 'signature story' is her transformation as an ER/trauma nurse who became the first health care worker in America to be diagnosed HIV positive as a result of workplace exposure, which made her a ‘poster child’ for the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Months later, all tests returned negative. Kathy has inspired thousands to SHED around the world, including Europe, Canada, Africa, and Mexico.
