Karin Hurt—Serving Your Target Audience

Journey To Paid Speaking Gigs with Charles Clark

Karin Hurt helps human-centered leaders resolve workplace ambiguity so that they can drive innovation, productivity and revenue without burning out employees.

After two decades as a Verizon executive, Karin, and her husband, David, founded Let’s Grow Leaders, a training firm focused on human-centered leadership development for those determined to get breakthrough results without losing their humanity. Leaders, they found, were hungry for practical tools and leadership development that sticks.

Since 2013, Karin and David have helped grow over 10,000 leaders in 14 countries with their live leadership development programs, keynotes, blogs, videos, and books. They also provide clean water to the people of Cambodia though their Winning Wells philanthropic initiative.

Karin is an award-winning author of four books, including:

• Courageous Cultures - How to Build Teams of Micro-Innovators, Problem Solvers and Customer Advocates
