Talks & Conversations

Billion-Dollar Leadership: Building Sustained Value

Billionaire founder and entrepreneur Kendra Scott knows that transformative value creation may start with a dream and a brand vision but requires sustained, dynamic leadership. In this talk, Scott discusses her style of adaptable and bold entrepreneurial leadership which fostered an empire and led the Wall Street Journal to describe her business as a ‘retail behemoth.’ She discusses how she drives her business performance with purpose, how she creates a culture of loyalty and innovation, and the business risks she’s taking now.

Building a Life You Love

Creative mogul Kendra Scott built her eponymous jewelry company from a hobby and an idea into a company worth more than a billion dollars. By any measure, she’s the woman who has it all: a self-made billionaire, a generous philanthropist, and a mother of three with a squad of strong female friendships. Today, Scott is here to share how she did it with your audience.

 

Building a People-First Culture

Kendra Scott has always said, “Connection before transaction.” In this enlightening engagement, Scott educates organizations on building a people-first culture.

Perfection is a Myth

With heart and humor, Kendra Scott reminds us that not all that glitters is gold, and that no level of success can insulate you from what it means to be a human being: that life is as messy as it is magical. Perfection isn’t just a lie, it’s exhausting, and Scott is tired of it. In this live conversation, Scott inspires audiences to live authentically aligning with values.
