Putting People first - Sara Kelly

How can you align your personal purpose with your values?

Why is “putting people first” not only the right thing to do, but also a great business strategy?

My guest on this episode is Sara Kelly, Chief Partner Officer, Starbucks

During our conversation Sara and I discuss:

  • How her “personal purpose”has served as her north star throughout her career
  • Why she believes that putting people first is critical to business success
  • Why she believes you should be open to new opportunities and the power of saying “yes.”
  • How Starbucks co-created their new values with input from their partners
  • Her advice to HR leaders who are updating their organization’s values
  • Why co-creation and an effective listening strategy is helping them to evolve their industry leading benefit offerings
