Kathy B. Dempsey, is an award winning author, keynote speaker, recognized change expert and Founder of The Shedding Revolution. Kathy ignites organizations to SHED for Success 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 top 100 hospitals in America.
​
Her most popular book, Shed or You're Dead®: 31 Unconventional Strategies for Growth and Change is the recipient of a Writer's Digest International Book Award.

Kathy Dempsey Knows Change. Her 'signature story' is her transformation as an ER/trauma nurse who became the first health care worker in America to be diagnosed positive for AIDS as a result of workplace exposure. She received national attention as a result of this life-altering hospital-based event that 'made her a poster child' for the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The diagnosis, a death sentence in the mid-80s, was confirmed with multiple positive tests. Months later, all tests returned negative. A miracle or medical error? No one is able to explain. The 3 months that Kathy lived with that traumatic diagnosis was a life-altering experience.

Kathy has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to SHED in places around the world including Europe, Canada, Africa, Mexico and across the United States.

Her presentations reach far beyond that experience, to build a touchstone with each member of the audience. Her dramatic account provides focus, inspiration and practical tools for people to lead and master change in their personal and professional lives.
