Kristen Hadeed Biography
Kristen Hadeed believes that authentic, human leadership can change the world.
At 19, with hardly any leadership experience, she started a cleaning business called Student Maid. She never expected it to be her career; it was simply a way to earn money while she was in college. But before she graduated, her company received a contract to clean hundreds of apartments—and it changed her path forever. She hired a team of 60 people to help her, and within days,75% of that team quit. That’s when her obsession with learning how to be a more human leader began.
Over the next 14 years, Hadeed learned a lot by screwing up. But most importantly, she learned how to lead from her heart. Doing so helped her take Student Maid from a small cleaning company to a business known on a global scale for its culture of belonging, its focus on people, and its purpose of building leaders.
Today, she spends her time helping leaders, teams, and organizations around the world embrace their humanity. She has worked in just about every industry, in almost every U.S. state and several other countries, and in hundreds of virtual meeting rooms. Whether she is delivering a keynote talk, multi-day workshop, or facilitating ongoing development, her goal is always the same: to ignite the kind of human leadership that builds trust, belonging, and wildly engaged cultures.
Her work has been featured in news outlets including PBS, FOX, Inc., NBC, TIME, and Forbes. Her book, “Permission To Screw Up,” has sold more than 50,000 copies worldwide. Her first TED Talk has more than three million views on YouTube.

Kristen Hadeed Speaking Topics
In this session, Kristen shares what she’s learned as an entrepreneur who built a business with an industry-leading retention rate, even though her people spent their days cleaning toilets. She’ll help you see that it’s not only our work that matters . . . it’s how we feel while we are doing that work that makes or breaks our experience. Kristen will challenge you to reflect on the current state of your organization’s culture and help you identify what you can do to take it to the next level. You’ll learn the ingredients of building a culture of belonging, understand your role in creating that environment, and walk away with practical, actionable steps that you can take as soon as the session is over.
- Learn the key ingredients of building a culture of belonging, and understand the role you play
- Learn how to create a culture where people feel truly seen, heard, and significant
- Learn how to find harmony between empathy, compassion, and achieving results
- Learn how to foster an environment where people feel safe sharing ideas and speaking up
- Learn how to create an environment where individuality and working preferences are celebrated while still achieving a collaborative dynamic
- Learn how to create an environment that attracts and engages future talent
We’ve all been there: We know we need to have a difficult conversation, but we do everything in our power to avoid it. Feedback conversations are hard, and yet, they’re often the most rewarding and important conversations we can have to help each other grow. When we have the tools to deliver feedback effectively and productively, difficult conversations can result in better relationships, trust, and a stronger culture. In this session, Kristen will teach you how to confront the issues you’ve been avoiding and help you reframe feedback as a powerful chance to build connection.
- Learn how to give, receive, and solicit feedback productively and compassionately
- Learn how to cultivate a speak-up culture for yourself and others
- Understand what might prevent someone from speaking up and learn how to remove those barriers
- Learn how to intentionally prepare for conversations and ensure messaging is perceived in the way you intend
- Discover how to ask better questions to get better feedback
There can be many barriers to building relationships. For example, how do you strengthen connection when you aren’t in the same room? How do you build trust and make your interactions count when you are busy? How do you repair a relationship that isn’t where you want it to be? What type of conversations should be over email and what type should be on video or face-to-face? How do you ensure your messaging is received in the way you intended it to be? In this session you’ll learn how to use empathy, authenticity, and vulnerability to build stronger, more trusting relationships in your life and in your work.
- Learn how to build relationships where people feel seen, heard, and significant
- Discover how to communicate with empathy
- Evaluate your emotional intelligence and identify opportunities to expand your EQ
- Gain tools to be a better listener
- Look for opportunities to elevate your meetings and learn meeting frameworks that lead to greater connection and trust
The last few years have demanded so much from us. We’ve all had to learn how to navigate a new normal—often at the expense of our well-being. Years ago, we may have bounced back quickly from setbacks, but as the hits keep coming, it can be harder to find our resilience. More than any other skill she’s picked up on her 15-year entrepreneurial journey, resilience is the one that has served Kristen best. But she’ll be the first to tell you that you can’t have resilience without self-care. It’s important to set boundaries and take care of your own needs first so that your cup is full when you inevitably face challenges. Self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential to maintaining our capacity for resilience and growth. And the more resilient we are individually and together, the more quickly we can pivot and adapt, the faster we will bounce back after setbacks, and the better we can take care of each other.
- Strengthen your growth mindset and learn steps to be more resilient in periods of uncertainty, challenges, and change
- Redefine success in leadership and understand how to make a mindset shift to go from “I come last” to “I must take care of myself so that I can better take care of those around me”
- Gain methods to empower yourself and others to take risks, find solutions, and move forward despite not having all the answers
- Learn how to create trust with your team so that people feel safe acknowledging when they need help, when they are struggling, and when they feel overwhelmed
- Learn how to set boundaries that will protect your emotional and mental energy
New generations entering the workforce isn’t a new phenomenon and it’s not something that will go away. After millennials come Gen Z, and after Gen Z it’s Gen Alpha. The only constant is change, and the fact is that organizations that embrace it and adapt are going to outperform the ones that don’t in the long run. As both a millennial herself and someone who has employed thousands of millennials and Gen Z’ers over the last decade, Kristen will teach you how to look beyond the stereotypes and create an environment that brings out the best in everyone: a place where people of all generations can thrive, contribute, collaborate, and work together in harmony.
- Learn practical ways to attract and retain the next generation
- Understand how generational differences contribute to communication and working styles and learn how to bridge the gap
- Gain tangible tools to help people excel in relationship-building, problem-solving, giving and receiving feedback, and taking ownership of their own growth and development
- Break down stereotypes and discuss how to create a culture where people are loyal, productive, and highly engaged, regardless of generation, rank, or position
