As CEO of StartingBloc, a leadership development program, Kristine Sloan is building systems that enable people and planet to thrive, especially if there is sufficient coffee.
3 Key Points
- Receive difficult feedback in a way that aligns with your values and creates a space where everyone can grow.
- Lead with questions, not with ideas.
- We have to make the impact that we can make. Sometimes that’s really beautiful on a small scale. We need to tell the stories of impact made on the small scale. We need all of it.
