Shelley Brown's Linkedin Analytics

It takes a rebel Quiet or Loud To break the rules. Disrupt the narrative. And build a legacy that actually matters. I’m Shelley Brown, and I didn’t just break the rules I broke myself trying to follow them. I hit the benchmarks. Led the teams. Played the game. And still, I kept being told: “You’re not quite there.” The truth is I was already gone buried under years of shape-shifting, pushing, and proving. Performing strength that didn’t feel like mine. Until I broke quietly. Then literally. I broke my back. That’s when everything changed. I finally ditched the pressure to lead from perfection and started leading from presence. Because presence is a gift to yourself, it's a strategy, it shifts culture and it drives results. And it’s the most generous thing a leader can offer. Now, as the Rebel in a Gown, I help high-performing leaders: Break the rules that break people Lead with clarity, not just control Build cultures of belonging without burning out Blend EQ + IQ to drive results that actually stick Because Rebel Leadership isn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake. It’s a generous act. It creates space. Tells the truth. And models a better way. Not just for your team. But for you. For the next generation watching. For the parts of yourself still waiting to lead like YOU mean it. Here’s what I stand for: Generosity – Give more than you take Responsibility – How you show up matters Legacy – Lead for what’s next Belonging – No one should have to shrink to fit Love – Care is a strategy Truth – People follow what’s real Results – Make it count. If it doesn’t create impact, it’s just noise. With 20+ years in hospitality, travel, and tech, I bring lived experience not just theory. I’ve burned out. I’ve rebuilt. I’ve been through chaos and clarity. Now, I speak, coach, and lead rebels who are ready to trade pressure for presence and create impact that lasts.

There’s nothing like the energy of gathering in person, the shared laughter, the aha moments, and the collective shift that happens when people feel seen and inspired to lead differently. In addition, I’m a pop artist. Mindfulness educator. Music fiend. Dog devotee. And most of all, I love people harder than anything. Book me to shake up your stage, your leadership team and you.
