Podcasts about student maid

Kristen Hadeed hadn't turned 30 and she was already the CEO of a successful company and well on her own leadership journey. Through her company – Student Maid, an all-student cleaning company – she was able to touch the lives of hundreds of college students and hundreds more clients. She has helped these students work their way through school, but she also created a culture that helps them develop important life and leadership skills. Today, Kristen spends her time helping leaders, teams, and organizations around the world embrace their humanity. She has worked in just about every industry,in almost every U.S. state and several other countries, and in hundreds of virtual meeting rooms. Whether she is delivering a keynote talk, multi-day workshop, or facilitating ongoing development, her goal is always the same: to ignite the kind of human leadership that builds trust, belonging, and wildly engaged cultures. Her work has been featured in news outlets including PBS, FOX, Inc., NBC, TIME, and Forbes. Her first TED Talk has more than three million views on YouTube. Kristen has long been a friend of Barry-Wehmiller and she wrote about her leadership journey in a new book, Permission to Screw Up: How I Learned to Lead by Doing Almost Everything Wrong, that has sold more than 50,000 copies worldwide. Kristen was previously a guest on our podcast for a profound conversation about the Millennial generation. She returned to talk to us around the time Permission to Screw Up was released.

In 2009, at the age of 20, Kristen Hadeed started Student Maid, an all-student cleaning company that grew to employ more than 400 college students in two cities. In 2021, she took the lessons learned from that experience and moved fully into leadership development.  This was our first interview with Kristen, originally from 2016, but she had a prescient insight into the causes of today's "Great Recession." She has been part of a growing generation of leaders who are helping to highlight the sense of meaning and purpose that millennials are looking for in their work. In other words, like everybody else, they simply want to know that who they are and what they do matters.

Kristen Hadeed imagines a world in which all organizations have cultures that empower people to keep climbing toward the best version of themselves every day. As the young leader of Student Maid, a successful cleaning company that hires students, Kristen has fostered a unique perspective on leadership, organizational culture and engaging the next generation. In October 2017, she published her first book, "Permission To Screw Up," in which she tells the stories of her biggest mistakes in leadership. She hopes to inspire other leaders to share their "perfectly imperfect" stories of success to empower people with the knowledge that even if they screw up, they can still make it. Kristen and Student Maid have been featured in news outlets including PBS, FOX, Inc., TIME and Forbes. Her first TED Talk has received more than two million hits on YouTube.

Amanda Thompson is an American female recurve archer from the United States.  She was coached by Terry Laney. She qualified for a position on the Junior US World Team and competed in the Junior World Archery Championships in Lilleshall, England. She was selected for USA Archery's Junior Dream Team. She won a position on the Junior US World Team and competed in the Junior World Archery Championships in Merida, Mexico. She was selected to be a Resident Athlete at the United States Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. Amanda is currently the Chief of Student Maid. What has Amanda's experience been with Student Maid? (2:19) Amanda instantly fell in love with the Student Maid culture. It is a cleaning company but they provide so much more for their students. They are building the next generation of leaders.  Amanda started off answering phone calls and kept growing the company before becoming head of operations. She was living in Florida at the time and she was running day to day operations. They are all about each person being their own wheelhouse. They believe in not just doing what you love, but also doing what you are great at. One of Amanda's wheelhouse categories is teaching or coaching and developing skills. At Student Maid, they have a lot of workshops and different things you can learn. Amanda states that she needs to be teaching to feel happy and fulfilled.  Amanda is not from Florida but leaving the company was not an option when they moved. Amanda's boss did not want to lose Amanda just as much as Amanda did not want to leave the company and so they figured out how to make it work and that was how they came up with their ambassador program.  They have students running an entire company. That was how their program bloomed. Amanda manages students who learn how to run a company, they run in terms and graduate with a great resumé. Students can say that they worked in a business and that they have experience. How has the Pandemic affected Amanda and Student Maid? (11:43) Amanda believes a lot of business owners, leaders and companies are going through the same thing during the pandemic. It's been an unsure time as to what is going to happen next.  Student Maid has two parts to the business. They have the cleaning company and then they have Kristin Hadid LLC. Kristin wrote a book and she travels the world telling people how to treat their people. At Student Maid, they practise what Kristin teaches. Student Maid would not have remained open had it not been for Kristin. Kristin decided to use the pandemic as an opportunity to talk to people and other businesses about how to care for their employees during this difficult time.  They closed Student Maid at the beginning of the pandemic for their employees. They did not want to risk their employee's health and lives by making them go into other people's homes.  So even though they shut down for a short period of time, their people felt loved and supported during this trying year. They were meeting with their employees weekly despite being closed just to check in and make sure everyone was doing well.  How did Amanda transition from being a competitive archer to head of operations at Student Maid? (20:54) Amanda started archery when she was 10 and she excelled at it. She started to compete nationally and internationally. She made it onto some world teams and have the opportunity to live at the Olympic Training Center in San Diego under her head coach at the time.  Amanda, however, did not love archery, she was just good at it and once you get to a certain level with a sport, you have to love it. Amanda was passionate about teaching and so she stepped away from archery and became a preschool teacher. She was trying to find her passion and teaching was always behind it.  She ended up in Florida coaching Archery at an Eastern Sports Facility outside Gainesville. Still not quite satisfied, Amanda was still looking for jobs at the time. She accidentally ran into Student Maid and it sounded too good to be true.  She thought it was a fake scam on craigslist. She still applied, having never heard of Student Maid before. The interview was the first Interview Amanda has had where the company asked her to interview them to see if they were a good fit for her.  She thought that was really great and she saw the stuff they were doing for the students and the opportunities she would be able to have, coach and make her own. She dropped Archery and everything else and started to work for Student Maid full time.  Student Maid Student Maid is a cleaning and concierge service based in Gainesville, Florida dedicated to empowering the rising generation of leaders. Their goal is to empower them to approach their futures with confidence in themselves and in their leadership abilities.

Kristen Hadeed is the founder of Student Maid, a successful cleaning company that has employed thousands of students over the last decade that is known for building the next generation of leaders. In this episode, Kristen, an optimist of Simon Sinek's community, discussed how our co-founder Tony Hsieh had changed the way she viewed culture as a young entrepreneur. Listen in to hear what “strong” and “good” leadership looks like for our time. Learn from her how to be more human as a leader, how to create organizations that are more human, and all her ups and downs in her business building and leadership development journey.**This episode was recorded in late October 2019. When Kristen started her journey, she had no idea what she was in for: The average turnover rate in the cleaning industry is 75%, and profit margins hover around just 15%. But even with the odds stacked against her, she built a company that blew the industry benchmarks out of the water. Her people love coming to work, they stick around for years, and some have even turned down dream jobs to join the executive team and build careers at Student Maid.Kristen believes Student Maid's success boils down to one thing and one thing only: creating a place with humanity at its core. A place where people feel accepted for who they are, where they are encouraged to fail and embrace their imperfections, and where they are empowered to reach their potential. Now she spends most of her time helping leaders and organizations around the world create similar environments for their people.In 2017, she published her first book, Permission To Screw Up, in which she offers an unapologetic account of her biggest mistakes in leadership. She hopes that her vulnerability will give others the courage to open up about their own “perfectly imperfect” moments and proudly embrace them as the tremendous learning opportunities they are.Kristen and Student Maid have been featured in news outlets including PBS, FOX, Inc., NBC, TIME, and Forbes.

Kristen Hadeed is the founder of Student Maid, a successful cleaning company that has employed thousands of students over the last decade and that is known for building the next generation of leaders.   In 2017, she published her first book, “Permission To Screw Up”, in which she offers an unapologetic account of her biggest mistakes in leadership. She hopes that her vulnerability will give others the courage to open up about their own “perfectly imperfect” moments and proudly embrace them as the tremendous learning opportunities they are.   Kristen has been featured in news outlets including PBS, FOX, Inc., NBC, TIME, and Forbes. Her first TED Talk has more than three million views on YouTube.    Key Takeaways [4:10] In college, Kristen got a cleaning contract and within 3 days, 45 of the 60 people she hired walked off the job. She had no idea she was such a bad leader, but it was a defining moment for her to change. [6:25] Instead of blaming others, Kristen took an introspective approach. That’s because she grew up in a household where failure is learning. [9:55] People don’t trust people who are perfect. [11:25] When Kristen was writing her book, she realized she had a fear of failure as well as a fear of success. [14:20] If you keep people in bubble wrap to prevent them from making mistakes, the business will not be able to grow. [14:50] Kristen defines “empowering” as trusting in someone before they’ve proven it. It’s about believing in someone’s potential. [17:50] Kristen puts the responsibility on her staff to own their own performance plan and to take accountability for their actions. [22:05] Kristen focuses on building leaders not simply hiring people to join a cleaning company.  [25:20] Companies are hesitant to invest in their low-level employees if they know they’re just going to move on. Kristen invests in her employees because she cares about the people. [25:50] People do so much for our organizations, so it’s only natural we give back and. [26:50] Kristen used to be so focused on retention, but has since shifted her focus to investing in people. [28:25] Empathy is really about hearing people, seeing them, and validating their feelings. [30:35] The pandemic has been an excellent time for Kristen to reflect on her priorities as she now feels like she was on autopilot before. [34:00] Kristen always ends her day on a daily reflection, so that she can both learn from the good and the bad that happened throughout her day. [38:30] Listener challenge: When we look back on this time, what do you want to say about it? Live a proud life.   Quotable Quotes “If you’re always trying to be perfect, you’re never going to take risks.” “In our effort to appear perfect, we lose a lot of trust.” “When human beings are in the equation, there’s probably some screwing up that’s going to happen.”   Resources Mentioned Website: Kristenhadeed.com & book resources Permission to Screw Up: How I Learned to Lead by Doing (Almost) Everything Wrong, by Kristen Hadeed Kristen on LinkedIn Kristen on Facebook Kristen on Instagram Kristen on Twitter The Now Habit, by Neil Fiore Why is Everyone Smiling?

Paul Prusakowski was introduced to the world of prosthetics at an early age. A single moment in his life opened his eyes to this new world and he never looked back. He knew he was going to be a prosthesis. As destiny would have it, he ended up at FIU for school where a professor implanted the idea in his head... "bring computer technology into this profession." Hear Paul's incredible journey and let us introduce you to another one of Gainesville's great entrepreneurs that is investing in the success of our community! 5:30 - Paul's story 12:30 - Did you jump right onto that opportunity? (bringing computer technology into the profession?) 14:00 - The seed was planted... so, where was your mindset at when it came to college classes? We're you into your classes or did you just want to focus on the "idea" that had been planted in you? 17:00 - The entrepreneurial itch begins. 19:21 - What got you to Gainesville? 22:00 - How do you generate the majority of your money? 24:00 - Which came first? The prosthetic side or the software side? 26:42 - Being able to see what's ahead... is this a trait you have always had? Can that be cultivated? 28:40 - Have you started migrating your systems to the cloud and what has that been like? 32:20 - Mike shares our troubles with migrating the cloud. 34:22 - With the prosthetics, is it human only? internal or external? 34:40 - What was it like to see the blade runner compete in the Olympics? What's the process like for creating a functional prosthesis for everyday life versus something that's engineered for competition? 38:52 - How many voices are at the table to create something like that (engineered prosthesis for a high-level competitor) and what's the risk? Are there insurance policies for that? 40:00 - Do you get amped off those relationships... being so invested into the success of those you treat? 41:41 - How do you instill that purpose in your team, especially in those that don't get to see the frontlines of what you do? 43:00 - What mindset do you see more in the people you serve... "hope" or "negativity"? 49:00 - What do you feel Gainesville is missing? Where can we improve? 51:49 - How does one go about finding the right mentor? 54:00 - What would you be doing right now if it weren't this? 56:00 - Do you ever disconnect or are you always engaged? 56:50 - Selfishly, what's your business need from Gainesville?

Kristen Hadeed, founder of Student Maid, talks with Sara Hannah and Matt Whiat of Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute about the challenges her business has faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and how they've been about to navigate the crisis without sacrificing people or principles.

Collin: "One of the things that has been on my mind, that I've always told myself would never be on my mind, is the possibility of laying somebody off. I saw a lot of organizations, here in Gainesville, first week - cut, cut, cut - I don't want to say they were heartless. I don't know anything about their business. It's unfair for me to make that judgment, not knowing enough context, but the reality was... a lot of people lost their jobs in that first week. I'm the guy that would virtually give up the business to save everybody. I'm very heart-driven versus numbers-driven. We both preach that 'people over profit' mentality, but at what point do you draw the line? At what point do you save the ship?" Hey Podcast Fam!

Today, Marcel Schwantes talks to Kristen Hadeed, founder of Student Maid, a cleaning company that has employed thousands of students all around the world. This is a challenging industry, but Kristen blew industry standards out of the water with her innovative ideas, company culture and by focusing on love.  Marcel and Kristen talk about some of the challenges of running a company, and what Kristen does to keep positive and motivated throughout the day. They recommend a book and strategy that can help you transform your feelings about your life. [02:50]We don’t always end up where we think we’re going to! Kristen talks about her company, Student Maid, how she came up with the idea, and what role a pair of jeans played in building her business empire. [04:30]If you’ve run a business, you’ve experienced staff turnover - but Kristen had to deal with 45 out of a team of 60 walking out on no notice. She talks about what she didn’t know going into her business, and how she became obsessed with becoming a leader people wanted to follow. She and Marcel talk about what leadership is, and how to let go of the ‘standard’ definition. [7:30]In a world where retention is the gold standard, Kristen supports her people leaving to do other things. She actively shares her knowledge with people, and formally trains her employees on the kinds of skills they’ll need throughout their careers. [12:25]Cleaning is NOT an easy (or always pleasant) job, but Kristen’s team is motivated to do it. Marcel wonders about the different generations she works with, and she talks about her outlook on what makes people tick - regardless of when they were born. [16:30]Marcel notes that vulnerability is a word that scares a lot of leaders. Kristen shares what it means to her, and the different ways you can practice it to connect with your people. Often, that means making mistakes and Kristen talks about her most epic screw up, and what she learned because of it. [21:00]Compassion is being considered more and more important in professional relationships. Marcel and Kristen talk about what compassion looks like in the workplace, and how to navigate situations where being compassionate isn’t the same as being nice. Marcel notes that compassion can take the form of tough love. [26:00]As part of the research Marcel is conducting, he and Kristen talk about fear and love in leadership. They get into what success means, being afraid at work, the impacts of experiencing fear and difficulties, and those wonderful times when you get to feel love at work. At the end of the day, Kristen thinks that having a team you can trust and rely on makes a world of difference. [29:45]Kristen talks about one of the challenges many leaders experience - and all dread. Losing one of your top people always hurts, and it can have effects similar to grieving. She also talks about a statistic that is tugging at her heart. [36:30]Marcel asks Kristen to talk about what she thinks will make a difference in people’s lives.

There is a massive motivation that flourishes from a simple acknowledgment which you let slip to your colleagues.

Umlas, the author of The Power of Acknowledgment and Senior Vice President of the International Institute for Learning, Inc., breaks down the five C’s of acknowledgment. She describes how she was inspired to write her other book, Grateful Leadership, and shares how you can join the Center for Grateful Leadership and the perks that follow.Success can be defined by how much your employees are enjoying what they do, whether it’s glamorous or not. Kristen Hadeed, the CEO and Founder of Student Maid, unravels the value of making sure employees are empowered when they walk in and out of the door. The author of Permission to Screw Up, she reveals how we can know if failing or screwing up is just enough to teach us something.

Most of us have had to scrounge around for odd jobs at certain points in our lives either to make ends meet or to help save for that certain special thing we've wanted in our lives, but few of us have turned that odd job into a thriving company. This was the case for Kristen Hadeed, who started cleaning houses in college as a way to save up for a pair of jeans that she desperately wanted. 10 years later, Hadeed is the Founder of StudentMaid, a cleaning company based in Florida that helps teach leadership skills to employees to help them move onto their next big thing.

According to today’s guest, much of what you’ve heard about millennials isn’t true. She should know: She’s a millennial herself, and she built a nationally-known company by hiring only millennials. Today the Guys continue their interview with Kristen Hadeed, founder of the company Student Maid and author of the bestselling business book, “Permission to Screw Up: How I Learned to Lead by Doing (Almost) Everything Wrong.”

Did you ever make a major mistake in your business? Meet a woman who launched a cleaning business while she was still a college student, signed a contract to clean 800 apartments, then had 75% of her employees quit on their first day of work. Today the Guys interview Kristen Hadeed, founder of the company Student Maid and author of the bestselling business book, “Permission to Screw Up: How I Learned to Lead by Doing (Almost) Everything Wrong.”

It's time to talk about learning from failure. I know. Learning from failure is no one's favorite subject. No one gets excited about failure, but y'all, failure is a reality in life and business! We might as well just learn from it! I have had a lot of failures in my life . . . and in Business Boutique . . . and in speaking. So I've gotten a lot of practice. And today, I'm going to help you answer the question, "How do I learn from my failure?" Three Ways to Learn From Failure 1. Adjust on the Fly When it's possible, adjust on the fly. A few years ago I was booked to speak at Catalyst, talking to women about life balance. Everything I wrote was directed at women and what we struggle with when it comes to life balance. I used stories that were relatable to women and I even pulled stories from the Bible, citing Scripture about women. On the day of the event, I stood at the back of the room and watched the room fill up with people, who were all men. Do you see the problem? I could have gone ahead and given the talk as if I were presenting to women. That would have been the safe route. Or I knew I could adjust on the fly to the failure. That's what I did. I had notes from a previous talk and just scrapped the slides! It was exactly the talk I was supposed to give, and they only heard it because I was willing to think on my feet. The lesson? Don't be afraid to think on your feet and make it up on the fly to save a misstep from becoming a complete failure! Related: How to Be More Confident 2. Deal With It If you make a mistake, drop the ball, or just fall flat on your face, deal with it. Back when I worked as the aquatic director at the YMCA, in the middle of a chaotic day, I made a big mistake. On the day of our mandatory annual aquatics safety training, my director called me to ask why my lifeguards were not in attendance. Luckily there were two options for sessions: 9 a.m. or 2 p.m. But I'd not only forgotten, I also hadn't told a single person they needed to be there. You know what I did? I dealt with it. I went speed walking down the hall to the executive director's office and opened the door. I looked her in the face and said, "I am sorry to bother you, but I need you to know that I have dropped a huge ball. I am taking care of it, but I just want you to know that I am aware of it and I am really sorry." I explained what I'd forgotten and gave her my plan to fix it. Thankfully, I got almost 100% of my staff to the 2 p.m. training. I failed but I did three things to face my failure head on. Own it. It's in our nature to hide, cover up, make excuses, and place blame. By owning it, you are doing the opposite of what most people choose, while demonstrating maturity, integrity and self-awareness. In the process, you're also building trust. Apologize for it. Apologizing shows you're coachable. It demonstrates humility instead of defensiveness, which makes others want to work with you more. Fix it. Doing your best to fix a mistake is proactive. People will respect your ability to try to repair a mishap when one happens. 3. Dust Yourself Off There's no magic lesson with this one. But here's the truth: You're going to have experiences you would never want to relive. There are going to be times you fail so badly it stays with you for a while. Many years ago I had a speaking engagement that I try to forget, and it haunts me to the this day. But you know what? It hasn't kept me from doing the thing I'm meant to do. I kept going. And you can too. Y'all, it's totally possible to learn from failure with these three strategies. If you can adjust on the fly, you might avoid it all together. If you can't avoid it, then deal with it. If you can't deal with it, just dust yourself off and keep going.

In this episode, with topics like: Why failure is such a tough topic to take on, but so necessary How to move past fear and put yourself out there How to dust yourself off and try again What personal qualities, habits and beliefs you need to be able to push past fear and failure Why it’s important to share our own failure stories What small-business leaders can learn from failure How to Prioritize Your Time When Everything Feels Important I know it’s a crazy, busy season. But aren’t they all? Here’s a quick challenge to help you prioritize during this season! First of all, know that not all priorities are created equal. But when you have tons of responsibilities, you need to have priorities and determine what’s most important to you. You need to know what comes first and second and third—and fifteenth. That way, when two things compete for your attention, you can make a decision based on your priorities. When you know what your priorities are, decision-making becomes so much easier. So, determine what’s most important to you. It’s your life. You want to spend it on what’s most important to you! They’re your priorities, and it’s your time. You get to decide. #AskChristyWright One of my favorite parts of this podcast is hearing directly from you. Give me a call on my toll-free line at 844.944.1074.

Kristen Hadeed didn't set out to be the CEO of a fast-growth company or a consultant to companies looking to fix their culture. All she wanted was a pair of jeans. That pair of jeans was motivating enough for Kristen to begin her entrepreneurial journey in cleaning apartments while attending the University of Florida. That quick search for cash turned into Student Maid, a cleaning company that hires students. In the last 10 years at Student Maid, Kristen has had some SERIOUS growing pains including a time where 75% of her company quit on her - all at the same time. She is an open book and recently wrote “Permission To Screw Up”, detailing the biggest mistakes she's made in leadership. In a day where everyone is craving Instagram likes and filtering every picture, Kristen's authenticity and vulnerability is a breath of fresh air. That helps to explain why Student Maid has become a successful company, how she got Simon Sinek to become her mentor and why other businesses are seeking her out to explain how to build such a strong culture. “It's not failure if you're learning from it.” Listen Here: iTunes Google Play Stitcher Follow Kristen: Personal Site Student Maid Site Permission To Screw Up LinkedIn Instagram Twitter Facebook Sign up for the weekly Millennial Momentum Newsletter.

"Things don't go according to plan and that is the plan." Kristen Hadeed unintentionally launched Student Maid, a cleaning company that hires students, while attending the University of Florida in 2007. Since then, Student Maid has employed hundreds of people and is widely recognized for its industry-leading retention rate and its culture of trust, accountability, and compassion. But Kristen and her company were no overnight sensa­tion. In fact, they were almost nothing at all. In this episode, I chat to Kristen about her journey and all that she's learnt. A few months into starting her new venture, with little knowledge of how to lead her business, disaster struck and 75 percent of her cleaning team quit on the same day. She's learnt the hard way but what she's learnt is gold - she shares all in this interview.

Kristen Hadeed: Permission to Screw Up Kristen Hadeed is the founder and CEO of Student Maid, a successful cleaning company that hires college students. She is the author of the book Permission To Screw Up*, in which she tells the stories of her biggest mistakes in leadership. Key Points The best thing you can do when you screw up is to admit it—and then people will start trusting you. Failure is the best way to learn. If you never admit to your failures, people start to think you’re hiding something and begin to lose trust. By admitting your mistakes, you give everyone else the permission to admit theirs.

After accidentally starting a business (tune in for the whole story!) as a college undergrad, Student Maid founder and CEO Kristen Hadeed has learned a lot about leadership from her mistakes along the way—and you can too. But one of the most important things she’s learned is that no matter what business you’re in, everyone wants the same thing: to feel valued. To that end, she has become passionate about not only growing herself as a leader but also helping her team do the same. Her company may be in the cleaning business, but she likes to say she’s in the business of making her team members better people.

When you hear the story of the founding of a business, you often get the sanitized version. You only hear the high points. However, it's often in failure that the biggest lessons are learned. Today's guest Kristen Hadeed founded Student Maid several years ago, but the early days weren't always so smooth. She's just published a book called Permission To Screw Up in which she chronicles some of the lessons learned as an entrepreneur and a boss, and on today's show she shares some of the hightlights. == Thanks to Slack for supporting The Accidental Creative podcast.

Millennial entrepreneur Kristen Hadeed talks about how the mistakes on her leadership journey and how it made her a better leader while developing her business Student Maid.

Today, Dr. Jerry Zandstra was able to sit down with Kristen Hadeed, founder of StudentMaid. In 2009, Kristen Hadeed was just another college student who couldn't afford a pair of jeans. Needing cash, Kristen decided to start her own cleaning business called Student Maid. Eventually, her business grew to employ over 500 students. Today, Kristen spends her time running Student Maid and teaching people how to effectively lead millennials. 

This episode of the Built On Purpose Podcast features a conversation with Kristen Hadeed, the Founder & CEO of Student Maid. What started as a way for Kristen to make enough money to pay her way through school quickly turned into something bigger. Kristen had no idea that her little side project cleaning houses would turn into a career. At 21 she turned down a six figure job in finance to continue growing her company which now has two locations and more than 500 employees. In this episode, Kristen discusses millennials in the workplace, being a CEO and founder in her 20's, and what can be learned by cleaning toilets.  Listen to more episodes of the Built On Purpose Podcasts at http://yscouts.com/podcast/
