Description

Today’s guest is Kendra Scott, Founder, Executive Chairwoman of the popular jewelry brand Kendra Scott.
Have you ever gotten stuck because you felt so overwhelmed by how complicated something seemed? 
It can happen when you launch a new initiative, start a new role, or come up against a new challenge. 
In those moments we leaders can overcomplicate things! And when we get bogged down like that, it’s really tough to make good decisions and keep our teams moving. 
If you can relate, then you will love this conversation with Kendra. She knows how to strive for simplicity when she comes up against a challenge.
And let me tell you, she has faced her fair share of challenges – from a business failing early on in her career … to being pre-judged as a blonde woman from Texas … to now, navigating the ever-shifting landscape of running a retail business.
But with persistence, she pinpoints the heart of an issue – and with creativity, she finds a simple, effective solution. And her team loves her for it. There’s a lot we can learn here about how to strive for simplicity.
You’ll also learn:

The power of showing gratitude to your team

How to leverage your failures

Practical ways to fight complacency on your team

One incredible “rule” that transforms and simplifies customer service

Why rejection can work for you

The specific ways Kendra developed herself as a “self-taught” entrepreneur

How Kendra balances parenthood and business
