Speak Up, Stand Out, and Change Lives

This week on the Speak Up Stand Out Change Lives podcast, we're thrilled to welcome Kristina Carlson, a visionary leader in the world of philanthropy and corporate responsibility. Kristina is the founder of the groundbreaking KINDd Method and serves as the Managing Director of Global Philanthropy at Carter, where she's redefining the landscape of giving and social impact.

With over three decades of experience, Kristina has become a powerhouse in guiding transformational capital campaigns and advising on multi-million dollar gifts and grants. Her expertise has benefited some of the world's largest nonprofit organizations, including Habitat for Humanity International, World Vision International, and Special Olympics. But Kristina's influence doesn't stop there - she's also the go-to advisor for maximizing the philanthropic engagement of an impressive roster of clients, from former US Presidents and Fortune 500 CEOs to faith leaders and celebrities.

At the heart of Kristina's approach is her personal practice of "Outrageous Kindness," a philosophy that has led to profound life lessons and, in her words, "hilarious stories in nearly equal measure." Through her work, whether it's delivering keynotes, conducting workshops, or providing individualized coaching, Kristina has helped countless individuals and organizations overcome challenges like trauma and apathy to achieve positive, lasting results.

In this episode, we'll dive deep into Kristina's KINDd Method and explore how it's disrupting corporate thinking and challenging cultures of assumptions. We'll discuss her mission to inspire leaders, philanthropists, and professionals to take mission-critical actions while creating accountability systems that drive lasting change. Kristina will share insights on how she guides companies towards a triple bottom line that maximizes ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles, valuing people, the planet, and profits in equal measure.

We'll also touch on a more personal note, as Kristina opens up about her journey through grief after losing her husband, and how this experience has shaped her perspective on finding purpose in life. This conversation promises to be a powerful blend of professional wisdom and personal growth, offering listeners actionable strategies to expand their impact and transform their approach to both business and philanthropy.
