Topic: 1+1=11: Building a Team That Multiplies You (Without Multiplying the Chaos)
Description: In her talk, “1+1=11: Building a Team That Multiplies You (Without Multiplying the Chaos),” Lindsay draws on her own early years as a working mother, burned out and unsupported, to unpack what it actually takes to hire and lead well: defining roles before you post them, hiring for values over skills, and building a culture where people stay because they’re valued, not just paid. She now leads a remote team spanning the U.S., Spain, and the Philippines, and speaks candidly about the difference between a business that runs on heart alone and one built to last.
