I’ve learned that whenever I get up the courage to lean into a tough convo, I immediately see the trust on my team grow as well as their confidence in me as a leader.

I am thankful for a week of listening, learning, and reflecting. But I know that what happens after we learn is what matters most.

A message from Kristen's team about how to help those who help us the most.

Remote work and virtual meetings are here to stay. So how do we get really good at building, strengthening, and maintaining trust from behind computer screens?

I never used to be someone who was motivated by money in my business. For me, it was all about building a great place to work and creating a culture where people really felt valued and like they mattered.

It’s extremely important that we as leaders feel empowered to take risks and try new things—even if some of our ideas may fail. But how do we help others feel empowered?

While there’s a great deal that’s out of our control, there’s also a lot that we can control. What if we could look at this time as an opportunity?

How do you make hard decisions?

May we never forget how much our actions matter, and may we never forget what we see.

As leaders, now is the time to protect our people and put them first.

I was multitasking. I’d roll the dice, play a little bit, and then glance at my phone every five minutes or so. I thought I was being slick.

I recently heard a story that's inspired me to think differently in the face of challenges that are outside our control.

Every month, no matter how busy we are or what’s going on in our business, my leadership team and I make time to come together to learn and grow as humans and leaders.

In celebration of turning 32 this week, I’m sharing 32 things I’ve learned in 32 years—it’s my birthday tradition!

I’m a huge believer in choosing one big goal and laser-focusing on it. This year, our business goal is to pay off our last $250k in debt.

The other day, I had nine phone calls back-to-back. NINE. And it didn’t feel like work . . . at all. That’s because sales is one of my work “sweet spots.”

To be a good leader, you must be a good listener. And you only become a good listener when you learn that listening isn’t about responding.

I had a mini leadership crisis recently. I came to the painful realization that I am NOT FUN ANYMORE!
