Kristen Hadeed

Former Cleaning Company Owner. Bestselling Author. Leadership Expert.

Kristen will show you how becoming a better leader can completely change the trajectory of your business.

This isn't just another keynote. It's a blueprint for building the kind of company people never want to leave.

Kristen isn't coming to teach leadership from theory.

She built a residential cleaning company herself.

At just 19 years old, she started Student Maid while in college. Within months, she was leading dozens of employees—and making every leadership mistake imaginable.

Instead of giving up, she figured out how to build a company known around the world for its incredible culture, engaged employees, and people-first leadership.

Today, she speaks to organizations across the globe, helping leaders build trust, belonging, and high-performing teams. Her work has been featured by TIME, Forbes, Inc., NBC, PBS, and FOX, and her bestselling book Permission to Screw Up has helped thousands of leaders embrace a more human approach to leadership.

You can have the best systems, the best marketing, and the best processes…

But if you can't build a team that trusts you, grows with you, and stays with you,

Your business will always hit a ceiling.
