I see your dedication to showing up as your most authentic, human self and becoming the best leader you can be—no matter your role or title.

I want you to know that you don’t have to do this work alone—at least, not anymore. Ready to ignite change in yourself and in those around you?
Check out our programs and resources for leaders like you.
“I have always considered myself an empathetic leader. Kristen taught me this is a superpower and not a weakness.
She has given me the courage to speak my truth and leverage empathy as a skill that my team values and appreciates. We have always led our business with a human-centered approach, but Kristen's outlook helped me find the right words for what we’re doing—and then take action.”

This is the story of how Kristen Hadeed built Student Maid, a cleaning company where people are happy, loyal, productive, and empowered, even while they’re mopping floors and scrubbing toilets. It’s the story of how she went from being an almost comically inept leader to a sought-after CEO who teaches others how to lead.
Permission To Screw Up dismisses the idea that leaders and organizations should try to be perfect. It encourages people of all ages to go for it and learn to lead by acting, rather than waiting or thinking. Through a brutally honest and often hilarious account of her own struggles, Kristen encourages us to embrace our failures and proves that we’ll be better leaders when we do.
