Your Journey is an Asset, not a Liability
Kristen Blessman • TEDxMSUDenver
Kristen Blessman is a change-agent leader that has channeled her triumph over adversity to become a successful turnaround CEO. Specializing in bringing organizations from struggling to successful in a very short period of time, her path to CEO is certainly the one less traveled given her tough upbringing. She has transformed her difficult background into applicable skills; developing five key tools for success to implement real and meaningful change in life and in business. She believes that when organizations, HR professionals and executive leadership place value on an employee’s personal journey, the business will be more successful. Employees will feel more invested in, engaged, and cared for. When an individual can be completely vulnerable and open, they will connect to how their unique experiences - including the struggles - shape who they are and can be pulled upon to contribute to an organization’s success.
