The Human Leadership Program

We believe that authentic, human leadership can change the world.

Join us to learn how to lead with your humanity and bring courage & compassion to everything you do, as you make your mark on the world.

You have the power to ignite real change at work. The Human Leadership Program shows you how.

Calling all leaders, everywhere—no matter your industry, rank, or role . . .

Leadership isn’t about having a title, it’s about making a difference. It’s about having a personal commitment to making work better—for yourself and for others.

Discover how you can grow into the best human and leader you can be—regardless of whether you have any direct reports.

This program will teach you how to embrace the heart of a leadership style that’s sweeping workplaces, transforming organizations for the better, and creating wildly engaged cultures of trust, belonging, and support.

Meet your host

Hi, I’m Kristen!

I haven’t always gotten this human leadership thing right.

When I was 19, I started a cleaning business with no leadership experience whatsoever. It was a disaster: Just days after I hired 60 fellow college students to clean hundreds of apartments, 75% of my team walked off the job.

Looking back now, I’m so grateful that moment happened because that's when my obsession with leadership and culture began.

The odds were certainly stacked against me. By definition, my cleaning business was anything but glamorous, and the margins were so low I could barely afford to pay more than minimum wage.

If it wasn't the work or the pay that attracted people to the job and kept them happy, what else could I offer?

Years of trial and error, mistakes, and countless lessons learned gave me my answer: culture. I discovered the importance of human leadership and creating an environment where people know they matter. 

The result? A company that defied industry benchmarks and kept team members for years and years because they felt like they belonged.

More than a decade later, my work looks a lot different. After seeing the results in my own company, I was inspired to help other organizations create people-first cultures and ignite human leadership on their teams.

Today, I work with leaders, teams, and organizations across all industries to help them build their own cultures of trust, belonging, and off-the-charts engagement.

We spend so much time at work. I believe it should be the place where we feel cared for and where we know that our leaders and organizations value our humanity. 

My invitation: Let’s build a world where this is the norm, not the exception . . . and let’s build it together:

What Participants Are Saying

  • “I want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for offering Kristen Hadeed’s Human Leadership Training Program.

    I have been in leadership positions since I was in 4th grade and have taken dozens of leadership training courses throughout the years on many different topics, gleaning what information I could from each training but often leaving those trainings feeling that they weren’t worth the price of admission. This one was different! The way that Kristen presented the topics, the breakout sessions, the structure…it left me wanting to learn more from her. It was quite possibly the best leadership training program that I have been through. I have already made the recommendation to my supervisor, an Associate Dean in CALS to recommend it to all of the staff that is under him because I think that it is worthy of the investment. I will probably retake the program in the future to see what different pieces I can pull out of it that time. Again, thank you so much for offering the program!”

  • "The Human Leadership Program has inspired me to take the drivers seat, even though I'm still not sure where I would like to drive.

    I've been asked to be a leader before, but never felt worthy or capable. I am inspired to work on myself and become a better leader, because this experience has made me realize that I CAN lead. And perhaps it is what my life has been missing.”

  • “I’m amazed with how much valuable content was covered and reinforced in this program.

    I took away so many actionable recommendations - thank you so much! Kristen’s energy is contagious.”

  • "This program is fantastic!

    The schedule/timing you have between large group sessions and break out sessions kept me honest to myself and paying attention to the program. I often find myself multi-tasking in virtual conferences but the content and pace of this program was so engaging that I didn’t multi-task. THANK YOU!”

  • "At the time I attended the Human Leadership Program, I was struggling with feeling stuck in a workplace that did not share my values.

    My time with Kristen and her team helped me to re-center and reconnect with the things that were truly important to me, so that I could find my path forward. Using the insights I gained from this program I was able to find a role at an organization that is a MUCH better fit. Even better, I now get to teach others about human leadership and help create a supportive, people-focused work culture too! This program is incredibly valuable and I strongly recommend it for folks who are looking to be a part of cultivating a more human-centered world.This program has taken me out of my own way! I am so thankful for your mentorship and guidance in developing myself as a leader!”
