TRAINING DELIVERY

Shawn Snyder is the Founder of Leadership Edge Live and one of the most experienced leadership development practitioners working in corporate training today. Over 25 years, he has designed and led change initiatives for some of the most recognized organizations in the world, including Pfizer, Deloitte, the State of Arizona, the U.S. Department of Defense, and Amway. His work has delivered measurable outcomes: higher sales performance, improved employee morale, and significantly reduced turnover across industries and geographies.

Shawn holds four professional certifications and is an expert in instructional design. He has built and deployed technology tools that improve learner engagement in live training environments, and his approach adapts to different cultural and organizational dynamics. That is why multinational clients trust him to run programs across borders.

In the room, Shawn brings genuine energy and humor to sessions that many trainers make unnecessarily dry. He is known for winning over even resistant participants and leaving people with not just new skills but the confidence to actually use them. He has trained and spoken to leaders on every continent, and that global perspective shapes how he designs every program at Leadership Edge Live.
