Show Notes

In today's episode:

  • Kelli Valade, CEO of Denny's, explains her philosophy that a leader's most important job is to make people feel seen.
  • Her early experiences in the restaurant industry exposed her to a second family who invested in her welfare; she also found restaurants are a place where people come to be seen.
  • Later in her career, a small gesture of connection from Kelli's team allowed her to connect with her birth parents--a perfect example of the power of human connection.
