Lead In a Way That Moves People To Action.
I’m Josiah Pledl, founder of 45° Degrees Leadership Consulting.
​
I equip leaders to connect their head to their heart and execute emotional intelligence in their leadership.
To me, emotional intelligence isn’t just about awareness—it’s about leveraging emotion to drive results.
​
I believe in the raw, unbridled power of human connection.
I believe people are moved to action by emotion.
I believe successful leaders focus on impact.
​
Leadership today is hard.
There’s a risk and responsibility in leading.
There’s fear of failure and judgment.
There’s also fear of success.
​
The answer to all of this lies in your people.
​
I work with businesses by providing workshops, keynote speeches, and one-on-one coaching.
I also work with you. You can grow your ability to inspire and engage through:
-
Online courses
-
Group coaching
-
Tools
-
A unique elite-level community of like-minded senior leaders obsessed with growth.
I’ve delivered results in corporate America and in public education by increasing engagement.
​
As an executive leader in a school, I increased both parent and employee engagement.
As a corporate leadership development trainer, I worked with a company that achieved:
-
87% favorable employee engagement scores
-
90% favorable manager effectiveness score
​
This was accomplished while breaking quarterly revenue records in the 20-year history of the organization.
​
I am driven to eliminate the "Sunday Scaries."
My mission is to create workplaces where people want to show up on Monday morning.
I am committed to increasing happiness in the workplace.
​
Did you know?
Happy employees produce 13% more than unhappy employees.
​
This will impact our world by increasing people’s sense of belonging—allowing them to bring their whole, authentic selves everywhere they go.
​
My goal is to restore the ability for people to work to live, rather than live to work.
This isn’t just professional—it’s personal.
