Karin Hurt, CEO of Let’s Grow Leaders, helps human-centered leaders find clarity in uncertainty, drive innovation, and achieve breakthrough results.
After two decades as a Verizon executive, Karin founded Let’s Grow Leaders, an international training firm focused on human-centered leadership development for those determined to get breakthrough results without losing their humanity. Leaders, she found, were hungry for practical tools and leadership development that sticks.
Since 2013, Karin and her husband David Dye, have helped grow tens of thousands of leaders on every continent (except Antarctica) through highly interactive, innovative leadership development programs and keynotes. They also provide clean water to the people of Cambodia through their Winning Wells philanthropic initiative.
Karin is an award-winning and best-selling author of four books, including:
Her latest book, "Powerful Phrases for Dealing With Workplace Conflict," came out in Spring 2024 and includes insights from their latest research, the World Workplace Conflict and Collaboration Survey.
Karin writes and speaks on building great workplace cultures, human-centered leadership, managerial courage, innovation and communicating for deeper collaboration. She’s often seen traveling through airports with a diaper genie under her arm — as she encourages audiences to “ditch the diaper genie” and speak the truth at work. You can download her e-book, Managerial Courage: 7 Practical Ways to Be More Daring and other free resources.
She is the host of the popular LinkedIn show, Asking for a Friend. And she was named by Inc. Magazine as a top Leadership Speaker for Your Next Conference and Best Business Books Written by Women, as well as Inside Out’s 2022 Women to Watch in Innovation.
