Thank you for returning for a very special series of Real Conversations from the C-Suite with our Women's History Month panel of CEOs featuring Pearl Hanks, Principal at P Enterprise Consulting Services; Kristy Grant-Hart, Founder & CEO, Spark Compliance; Marina Grijalva, Founder & CEO, Mundo Academy; Sade Stephenson, Program Director, McKallen Medical Training Center; and Dr. Gloria Tumbaga, Founder, Wellness Diagnostics and Medispa.  In our last conversation, we gained some insight into the costs associated with being the boss.  Being mindful of the determination, drive, and discipline – what I call a 3D mindset -- required to be a successful business owner, the question of the hour for our panel is this:  What do you feel is your most significant contribution in the area(s) of science, technology, engineering, the arts, or math, aka STEAM? Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

 Being one's own boss has often been touted as the ultimate thing to do if you have an adventurous spirit, spunk, and the stick-to-itiveness to chart your own path.  The first time I took a day for myself just to hang out, it was pretty amazing to think about the fact that there were folks taking care of business on my behalf so that I could get away.  But being the boss does come with a cost.  Today, my panel of women CEOs -- Pearl Hanks, Principal at P Enterprise Consulting Services; Kristy Grant-Hart, Founder & CEO, Spark Compliance; Marina Grijalva, Founder & CEO, Mundo Academy; Sade Stephenson, Program Director, McKallen Medical Training Center; and Dr. Gloria Tumbaga, Founder, Wellness Diagnostics and Medispa -- will explore this question:    What have been your unique challenges as a woman-owned small business?  Their answers may apply to you as well – even if you're not a business owner, and no matter where you are in your company's organizational structure. Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/

By Adam Turteltaub Compliance professionals can face a lot of resistance in the course of their work: leaders who don't have the time, budget limits, managerial indifference, and even outright hostility. But, sometimes the impediments are inside us. In this podcast, Kristy Grant-Hart, CEO of Spark Compliance Consulting and author of the new book Your Year as a Wildly Effective Compliance Officer, points out that sometimes we get in our own way. It's just easier for us to see what the external blocks are than it is to see those we create for ourselves. Overcome them, she argues by trusting your own value. Ask for what you want, and don't trust that others will see the need. And, when you do ask, be sure to make clear what value the compliance program provides. She also cautions against falling into Imposter Syndrome and feeling as if you don't belong in the room. Sitting there quietly doesn't help, in fact it hurts by giving others the impression that you and the compliance team are not adding value. Instead, speak up at every meeting so that you can be perceived as a contributor. On the personal level, set goals for yourself. Pick an area to deepen your expertise and another to grow personally, such as in speaking publicly or improving your productivity. Also, look to growing your network. Plan on attending in-person meetings and then follow up with the people you meet there. Don't just make them another entry in your Outlook contact list. When it comes to those external barriers, she advises not taking push back personally because most often it isn't personal. People have other commitments. In fact, look at why they are pushing back and evaluate if the criticism is fair. If it is, then adjust your efforts. If it isn't, let it go. Not everyone is going to get along with you. Finally, she discusses how to ensure you don't let work take over your life. Reserve time for family, friends and your passions, and keep those commitments. When it comes to after-hours emails and texts, don't answer them if you don't have to, or if you do, send a delayed respond. That way people learn you won't be responding 24/7/365. Be considerate, too. If you think of something in the evening and want to get a note out that isn't urgent, be sure to let the recipient know they don't need to respond right away. Listen in to learn more about how to clear your internal path and become your own best ally in compliance.

By Adam Turteltaub You're all signed up for the Compliance & Ethics Institute or another SCCE or HCCA conference. Now, how do you make the most out of your time there? Kristy Grant-Hart CEO of Spark Compliance Consulting and a former compliance officer, herself, shares in this podcast several excellent tips for making your conference time truly valuable. Her recommendations: Plan out which sessions you want to attend before you arrive. It makes for a much more strategic and less stressful approach than picking sessions hurriedly at the breaks. Pick the sessions based on both the topic and the speakers you want to listen to and meet. Map out time to do work and answer email. It's a lot easier to sit and listen to a session when you have a defined times to work and a defined time to be fully present at the conference. Start your networking before you go. Announce on LinkedIn that you'll be there and try to connect with others who will be attending. Take advantage of vendor receptions and dinners to meet more people. When you connect onsite, also connect on LinkedIn right then and there. If you promise you'll send someone a follow up email, do it that night before you forget. Don't be afraid to approach people you don't know. They're probably there to meet new people, too. Put your follow-ups for once you're back in the office into a list that you can easily find. Listen in to hear more great ideas for getting the most out of your time at the conference.

By Adam Turteltaub So, you've got a global compliance program. But, what do you do when a local team says, “That doesn't really work here” or “We think it would be better if it were changed to something else for us”? Kristy Grant-Hart, CEO of Spark Compliance Consulting recommends keeping your values the same wherever you operate. Values are typically based on universal ideas. They and your code of conduct should remain constant wherever possible. Communications from the CEO and leadership should also be the same everywhere. You don't want the CEO saying one thing in one country and something else in another. Categories used for reporting and investigations should also be the same everywhere, otherwise it will be difficult, if not impossible, to track where the issues are. Similarly, root cause analysis and risk assessment methodology must be the same globally. So where can you localize? She recommends looking at areas such as gifts and hospitalities. What's reasonable in one region may not be in the other. Look also at employment practices. Having a policy of non-discrimination is good, but in some regions there may be requirements to hire certain indigenous groups. To avoid confusion, she advises defaulting to one policy wherever possible, and be sure to have a version control process in place. You don't want one office to still be operating under an old policy. Listen in to learn more about how to make thoughtful localization decisions, how to get honest feedback locally, and what to do about facilitation payments.

What does remodeling a home have to do with ESG? In this episode of the ESG Report, Tom Fox and Kristy Grant-Hart discuss the role of compliance in leading the ESG initiative within a corporation. Kristy, the founder of Spark Consulting, explains how compliance professionals can expand their role to lead the E, S and G components of ESG. She also shares her personal experience of remodeling her new home with her husband and how it relates to ESG. Kristy Grant Hart is a well-known figure in the compliance field. She is the founder and CEO of Spark Consulting, a global compliance and ethics consultancy that recently celebrated its 6th anniversary. Spark Consulting now has locations in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and London. The company also recently released a business simulation game called Compliance Competitor, which has been picked up by many companies. Kristy has over 15 years of experience in compliance and governance, working with clients across multiple industries. She is also the author of four books, including How To Be A Wildly Effective Compliance Officer and The Compliance Entrepreneurs Handbook, which was written with Kirsten Liston and Joseph Murphy. You'll hear Tom and Kristy talk about: ESG is a bridge between compliance, governance, and board relationships. ESG can be a huge driver for change and reputation enhancement. CCOs are skilled at bringing together people and putting programs into a framework, and this lends itself well to running a successful ESG program.  The renewed focus on G (Governance) is a positive development, as better governance leads to more ethical behavior and compliance. Compliance has a relationship with the board, the Audit and Risk Committee, and it makes sense for compliance to expand its remit of reporting and talk about different stakeholders in different ways for better board management. The push for gender diversity on boards is a step towards greater perspective and understanding of different stakeholders. Supply chain management is an important aspect of the compliance function. The June 2020 Update to the Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs from the Department of Justice emphasizes the importance of institutional justice and fairness within corporations, which ties into ESG principles. The compliance function and CCO must have access to all corporate data, not just compliance data, in order to effectively lead ESG efforts. The S in ESG, which stands for social, encompasses issues such as diversity, equity and inclusion, and responsible sourcing in the supply chain. The evolution of supply chain compliance and its integration into ESG efforts has been growing in recent years. Compliance professionals already have a wide range of skills and experience that can be applied to leading E efforts within ESG. They have an important role to play, even if they are not experts in the field. Remodeling a home can also be a valuable learning experience: her personal experience of learning new construction skills aligns with the idea that compliance professionals can learn and lead the E component of ESG. KEY QUOTE:  "I think that the more that we see diversity on boards, the better companies will do, but also the opportunities become more expansive and that's something that I'm passionate about and feel that's incredibly important. I also think compliance should have much more of a seat on boards." - Kristy Grant Hart Resources: Kristy Grant-Hart on Website | LinkedIn | YouTube   Kristy Grant-Hart books Spark Compliance

Compliance and ethics expert Kristy Grant-Hart joins us as she discusses the importance of the compliance function, how it plays into each aspect of ESG, and how CCOs are the most well-suited to take the first step in corporate ESG efforts. Watch ▶️ Leading Compliance Efforts as CCOs with Kristy Grant-Hart: Key points discussed in the episode: ✔️ Kristy Grant-Hart talks about the current situation at Spark Consulting, a book she co-authored, The Compliance Entrepreneurs Handbook, and its impact. ✔️ Compliance is a driver for reputation enhancement. People not only vote with their dollars but also their employee time. ✔️ Kristy Grant-Hart says the ability to gather people and put programs into a framework is what CCOs must have to lead ESG efforts. The 7 Elements of Effective Compliance Program can guide CCOs in creating an ESG program and its monitoring and implementation. ✔️ California becomes the first state to pass a gender-diversity-centered initiative. The social element of diversity goes deeper into the working conditions in the supply chain, sustainably-sourced products, and low carbon emissions. ✔️ With ESG, companies can be part of the solution. Bigger names shouldn't receive the brunt of the blame as businesses of all sizes should be accountable. ✔️ With the UK Modern Slavery Act, ESG has been placed at the forefront, pressuring companies to disclose the truth in what transpires in their supply chains. ✔️ Having a strong law background, Kristy Grant-Hart and Thomas Fox exchange ideas on the significance of lawyers in ESG endeavors. Learning the new jargon and talking to experts can help ease the hesitation to delve into this playing field. ✔️ CCOs are encouraged to be the frontrunners in compliance as they hold the authority to create a significant impact on a corporate scale. The ability to be relevant is a great opportunity in compliance.

Post By: Adam Turteltaub As the compliance profession matures an increasing number of professionals in the industry are thinking about going out on their own and setting up a consulting firm. In this podcast we learn from three people who did just that and are willing to share their wisdom and experience: Kristy Grant-Hart, Spark Compliance Consulting Kirsten Liston, Rethink Compliance Joe Murphy (LinkedIn), Compliance Strategists and one of the founders of Integrity Interactive Recently they wrote the book The Compliance Entrepreneur's Handbook, and in this podcast they share insight into what they call the four corners approach to determining what the sweet spot is for your business. It's difficult to be all things to all people, especially when first starting out. By looking at the four corners, they believe, you can narrow your focus to where you bring the most value to the market. The corners are: Function Rather than focusing on all elements of a compliance program, you can narrow your focus to those areas you have the most expertise in. That helps you become known for bringing in certain pieces of the puzzle. Risk Area Privacy, anti-corruption, antitrust, and Stark Law are just a few of the areas that can be ripe for building a business around. Geographic Region Do you want to serve a city, state, region or work globally? Think about where the market is and isn't saturated. Ask yourself how much you want to travel. An international client base can be very enticing, but it means many days away from home, calls at strange hours of the day and night, and much jetlag. Industry Choosing industries to focus on can be a tug of war. You want to leverage your expertise in a given industry or two, but you don't want to set your sights so narrow that there are too few opportunities available. In sum, it's a complex calculus when it comes to going out on your own, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. It also takes great persistence and a strong network to get your business off the ground. And one final piece of advice you will hear in this podcast: don't forget it's a business, with all the issues that brings. Listen in to learn more and help you decide how to start your own compliance business, or whether you are better off staying right where you are.

Kristy Grant-Hart, Joe Murphy, and Kirsten Liston are Tom Fox's guests on this week's episode of the Innovation in Compliance Podcast. Kristy is the CEO and founder of Spark Compliance Consulting, as well as an author and keynote speaker. Joe is currently the editor of the Compliance & Ethics Professional magazine, and the Director of Public Policy. Kirsten is a certified Compliance and Ethics Professional, an author, and a keynote speaker. They join Tom to talk about their book ‘The Compliance Entrepreneur's Handbook', and what insights compliance professionals can use from it in their organizations.   The Genesis The Compliance Entrepreneur's Handbook is about helping people who want to go into business in the compliance and ethics field. Kristy explains that there was an initial presentation and that the three of them were assigned sections of the book to write. “Each one of us wrote an original draft of those sections, switched them so that each person made comments on them, and then I did the edit where we put it all together. So it had essentially one voice but you can still pretty clearly hear the dynamics and the interesting stories of each individual person, and that's how it came to be,” she tells Tom.   What Do You Need The book is structured to answer the questions of ‘What do I do now?' ‘What decisions can I make?' and ‘Who should I partner with?' It shows entrepreneurs how to execute a compliance startup, as well as critical marketing, sales, and exit strategies. An exit strategy is especially important, and something entrepreneurs don't think about in the beginning. “If your plan doesn't include an exit, then it's the wrong plan. You don't have to exit in five years but you should be thinking about making your business ready to sell,” Kristy stresses.   An Entrepreneur's Advice Tom asks Kristy, Kirsten, and Joe to share their top pieces of advice to individuals who wish to start the entrepreneurship journey. Kirsten emphasizes nailing down the money, setting up your account, and knowing how to read a balance sheet. “You need to make sure you're selling something for a profit, and that that profit is reaching you soon enough to pay for the work to deliver it,” she remarks. Kristy stresses on planning to have a business. Most people get caught up in the idea of having a business but do not plan for it, nor do they take into account all the legal documents that are needed or putting their website together. Joe shares some insight for entrepreneurs who are introverts. “Don't think just because you're an introvert you can't do this. You just need to team with people who have complementary skills. One [other] piece of advice I have for anybody going into business is read the Wall Street Journal every day,” he says.   The Best and Worst Parts of Being an Entrepreneur The best part of being an entrepreneur to Kirsten is owning the business. All the profit and all the successes are yours, and all the decisions are your own to make. On the other side, one of the worst parts of being an entrepreneur is that you own the business. Meaning that any losses or failures are yours to bear, and that your employees look to you to fix the problems that may occur. An advantage of being an entrepreneur to Kristy is the freedom to develop strategy, and the freedom to make choices without anyone telling you no. Alternatively, a disadvantage to her is managing the emotional aspect of it all. For Joe, the best and worst parts of being an entrepreneur is the freedom and control over what you do professionally but being treated like you don't belong [in the compliance realm] because you're a vendor.   Resources Kristy Grant-Hart | LinkedIn | Twitter Compliance Kristy Spark Compliance Consulting   Joe Murphy | LinkedIn | Twitter Society of Corporate Compliance & Ethics   Kirsten Liston | LinkedIn  Rethink Compliance   The Compliance Entrepreneur's Handbook   Texas Tax rate at 80% of 8.25%

Third parties are still perceived as the most prominent high risk for companies. Other than bribery and corruption -- modern slavery/human trafficking, data privacy, information and cybersecurity, anti-money laundering, and other areas are requiring third-party integrated risk assessment and planning.  Compliance and data privacy law thought leader Kristy Grant-Hart, CEO of Spark Compliance Consulting, offers an innovative approach and inspiring perspective in this conversation.   Major takeaways discussed in the episode:   Bribery and Corruption: This remains the most significant problem since the general business population's perception that what a third party does on your behalf isn't your problem. Because some countries have laws like that, this built the sensibility that "if I didn't do it, then it doesn't matter." Due Diligence Integration: Every company is different; however, it is crucial to apply a comprehensive and consistent approach to conducting due diligence in all categories in appointing and maintaining relationships with third parties. Scoping: By defining the degree of risk to be reviewed and identifying the highest probable risk scenario, this will be based on the quantitative things that we know, like the CPI score, like the Trafficking in-person report. That's where you try to start so that you're looking at the right risk with the right tools.  Digital Assets: Many parts of the business are not working together to have that third-party onboarding. The problem is that they don't want to work together necessarily. Using various technology-enabled solutions for your clients will enable you to clearly and effectively see across the entire risk spectrum.  About Thomas Fox:   Thomas Fox, the Compliance Evangelist®, is one of the leading writers, thinkers, and commentators on anti-bribery and anti-corruption compliance.

Today on the show, we have Kristy Grant-Hart, one of the most well-known women in the industry. She became a Chief Compliance Officer at an early age, is the published author of several books, a board member of a nonprofit organization, and is now an entrepreneur with her own compliance consultancy company with its own publishing arm. She is undoubtedly a great woman in compliance, and she’s here to share with us her best advice for women who are ready to level up in this field. What traits do you attribute to your success? We already have good technical skills, but what sets truly successful practitioners apart is the ability to connect with people. It’s an underrated skill, but an absolutely necessary one. What advice do you have for women hoping to make a name for themselves in compliance? Start writing and speaking, even if you start small. When people see you stand in front of them or read what you have to say, you’re not only serving the profession and the community, but you’re doing so in a way that showcases your skills and abilities. What interested you in joining a board, and what has your experience been like so far? Kristy shares how much she respected and enjoyed her participation in the SPCE that running for board member was a natural next step. It wasn’t smooth sailing though — Kristy didn’t make it the first year she ran. It takes a lot of persistence, staying involved, and really being in front of leadership to position yourself to be accepted as a board member. What advice would you have for women who want to become board members? In some cities, there are organizations dedicated to helping people get on board, so that’s a good place to start. Kristy also shares that it’s true: once you get on one board, it’s much easier to get on others. So try to get on the board for any other organization that you like, because it’s a great way to build others’ confidence in your abilities. You want to show that you know what you’re doing when it comes to being a board member What was the experience like starting your own company? It was a multi-month process for Kristy, which involved a lot of research, networking, and pitching. If you really want to go into consulting or become an entrepreneur, it really is about meeting other entrepreneurs and honing your business skills, because while you probably already have technical skills, business skills are different. What has been your most significant learning moment in your compliance career? It’s a huge shift to go from big law, where people hang on to your every word, to in-house work, where people stop listening and don’t reply to emails. It became necessary for Kristy to figure out how to make herself more important and valuable to their business in a real way. What advice would you have for someone in the market for an in-house job? There needs to be a showing of commitment: get skilled in the other areas you need, get your qualifications and certifications, take classes, and network. You make a much stronger impression that you genuinely want this career, and that you’re in it for the long haul. Last words Only three Fortune 500 Companies have an equal number of male and female board members. If Kristy inspired you today, get up and do something about it. The power is with us to turn these statistics around. Put your hand up, raise your voice, and be heard. Resources for KristyLinkedInWebsiteSpark Compliance Consulting

On today’s show, Tom chats with Kristy Grant-Hart, CEO of Spark Compliance Consulting. She and her team have developed a Spark Score Report, a tool to help you discover how your compliance program looks to the outside world. Kristy and Tom discuss the Spark Score report, what it means for your business and the industry, and how you can find out if your presence shows how truly committed your company is to compliance. What is the Spark Score Report?  Is there a gap between how good your program is internally, and how it’s perceived externally? The Spark Score is a free report that gives you insights into just that. It’s a benchmarking tool that tells you what customers and outsiders see. Many underestimate just how important this information is. The public is looking at what you put out there. They’re searching for your presence — and this innovation solves this business need. This report that can be taken back to your company (e.g. your C-suite or managers) to help evaluate how your company is doing vis-à-vis others in the industry. Are you showing your commitment to compliance in a way that is quantifiable and benchmarkable? The report does that research for you.  How is it measured? There are six different factors: Code of Conduct, Corporate Governance, Whistle-Blower Provisions, Anti-Bribery Commitments, Data Privacy, and Modern Slavery / Sustainability. These are weighted based on importance and how the factors work, so you can see where you fall out. Kristy shares examples of things the report evaluates, and underscores the point:  if you want to show people what is good about your program, there are ways to do it.  Gathering a Database As Spark Consulting generates reports, they are also gathering a database of best practices. Which industries have the best approaches? And how can this affect — and help — other industries? The aim of the report is not solely to provide companies with information, it’s about raising everybody’s game to be better.
