Kristen Hadeed Speaking Topics

• Growth is a Team Sport

  Strong leadership isn’t about playing it safe and having all of the answers: It’s about having the courage to take risks, make mistakes, embrace the unknown, try new things, open yourself up to differing perspectives, and challenge the status quo instead of maintaining it.

  In this session, you’ll learn how to take ownership of the empowerment you have to drive change and innovate. It will remind you of the tremendous ability–and opportunity–you have to reach for audacious goals, inspire others to have the courage to reach with you, define new ways of collaborating, and bring your vision to life . . .together.

In this session, Kristen Hadeed will share the secret to how she built a business with an industry-leading retention rate—despite the fact that her people spent their days cleaning toilets. It wasn’t the work that kept everyone engaged; it was the focus on relationships that led to a culture of trust and belonging.
