CEO
Absolutely. Here’s the updated intro with that line fixed:
Stephen Shortt helps people find work that fits, and helps organisations build teams that last.
He asks a question most of us avoid for far too long: what if the life you’ve built around work no longer fits who you are becoming? As CEO of CareerFit and Talent Select, and creator of frameworks like Successful Succession, HAPPY Work Life MAP, and the Leadership Profile, his work is rooted in a deceptively simple mission: happier people in fulfilling, rewarding careers.
He has spoken in more than 45 countries and worked with organisations including Entrepreneurs’ Organisation, Disney, National Geographic, EY, KPMG, PwC, and Trinity College Dublin.
What makes Stephen especially compelling is that his work is not just about careers on paper. It is about identity, energy, values, family, and the quiet cost of staying in the wrong role for too long. That lens became even more personal after a difficult period with his health, when he openly shared his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis and the mindset shift that helped him rebuild his habits and sense of purpose.
He brings strategy, humour, empathy, and a rare ability to make big life questions feel both honest and actionable.
If you want, I can also make it a little more emotional, a little more high-status, or more Diary of a CEO in tone.
