Kiersten Hathcock

The story of what happens when you have no blueprint, no funding, and no backup plan — and you build anyway.

This is Kiersten Hathcock's flagship business keynote — and the one audiences talk about longest after they leave the room.

Drawing on her journey from television executive to self-taught carpenter to "Shark Tank" winner to Post Hill Press author, Kiersten dismantles the myth that you need the perfect conditions, the right credentials, or someone else's permission to build something extraordinary.

What she gives your audience instead: a framework for moving forward with clarity and confidence when the path ahead is anything but clear.

Your audience will leave with:

• A reframed understanding of what qualifies someone to lead, build, or begin

• A concrete decision-making framework rooted in both data and instinct

• The permission — and the tools — to start before they feel ready

Ideal for: Corporate all-hands events, entrepreneurship conferences, business association keynotes, commencement addresses, leadership summits
