Speaker Bio:
Kathleen is a self-described storyteller, who believes that everyone has a purpose and a dream and always has had a passion for learning about other people’s stories. At a young age, Kathleen’s love for travel, music, adventure, and curiosity about people was evident. She would run around her neighborhood with an old tape recorder of her mom’s, eager to interview anyone in site, and would spend hours listening to their conversations. Throughout elementary school, her heroes were Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling who she watched every morning from school on their news show. Kathleen has spent her career speaking with brilliant scientists and engineers across the globe, connecting them to impactful teams. She offers strategic insight to her leadership teams to support long-term growth development and business plans. But if you ask Kathleen what she is the proudest of throughout her career, it would always be the trusted partnerships and collaboration she has built with her people.
Reflect and Strengthen:
What effort do I make to turn obstacles into opportunities?
How can I choose my attitude when faced with challenges?
How often am I willing to be vulnerable and uncomfortable to grow?
Host:
To Rob Maloney, life is about connection and learning through sharing perspectives that sharpen our empathy and empower communities where everyone can thrive together. He’s driven to rethink, reshape, and overcome broken notions of differences, disabilities, and fixed limitations while reteaching growth mindset, emotional intelligence, and ownership for the difference that everyday people make with Heart & Hard Work. In spite of and because of all obstacles, his alignment with life’s purpose forged a trilingual "learn-it-all" world traveler with 2 master’s degrees working at Microsoft, host of the "Heart & Hard Work" podcast, and on November 20th, 2022 he put an exclamation mark to the belief in the power of Heart and Hard Work by finishing his first ever Ironman Triathlon.
