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
