If sunshine had a name, it would be Kristin Green. Kristin is a force of pure light, radiating kindness, encouragement, and unwavering support for anyone lucky to cross her path. Kristin shows up in heart, energy, and fierce commitment to making the world better and brighter.
As President and Chief Purpose Officer of David Corey Company, she proves that kindness is more than a feel-good trait—it's a powerful business strategy, a leadership philosophy, and a way of life. She is changing the game in the workers' compensation industry, infusing it with purpose, empathy, and a relentless dedication to uplifting others. But more than that, she is a soul sister to those who believe in leading with love, passion, and integrity.
Soleful Steps Toward a Bigger Purpose
In true Kristin fashion, she did not just dream of creating impact—she put it into action. Since we last celebrated her as a Woman of Influence, she has been busy bringing a new vision to life: Soleful Socks—a project as purposeful as it is inspiring.
Kristin believes everything in life should have intention, and Soleful Socks is no exception. More than just cozy, comfortable foot coverings, these socks are a mission, a movement, and a tangible way to follow your sole. Through this initiative, Kristin has partnered with Kids’ Chance of America, ensuring that a portion of every purchase goes toward helping children of injured workers pursue their educational dreams.
For Kristin, kindness is currency, and giving back is non-negotiable. Signing the official donation agreement with Kids’ Chance of America was a milestone that reaffirmed her purpose: helping people in real, meaningful ways.
Lessons in Leadership: Staying True to the Core
With a heart that beats for service and a mind that constantly innovates, Kristin’s biggest lesson this year is reflecting on character: Be true to yourself.
She has spent years proving—to herself and the world—that kindness is not a weakness but the ultimate strength. In an industry that often feels transactional, Kristin has built a reputation on genuine relationships, intentional actions, and the radical belief that doing the right thing always wins.
Her secret? A personal “culture filter.” Before making any decision, taking any action, or speaking any words, she asks herself: Does this align with my values? Is this authentically me? Will this leave someone better than I found them? If the answer is not a resounding YES, she pivots—because living out her truth is not optional; it is essential.
Balancing Act: The Mother, The Leader, The Dreamer
The world loves to celebrate ambitious women, but we rarely discuss what it takes to balance it all.
Kristin is the first to admit that being a career powerhouse and a present, engaged mom is one of her biggest challenges. Finding this balance is a delicate dance—one that requires intention, boundaries, and the courage to prioritize what matters most.
Her solution? Maximization.
She dives in fully on market trips, networking, strategizing, and making every second count. At home, she grounds herself in the moment, shifting from CEO to mom, wife, and soul-nurturer with equal passion. And through it all, she reminds women everywhere: You don't have to do it all at once, but you can do it all with purpose.
Evolving Leadership: Seeing, Hearing, and Valuing People
One of Kristin’s most significant shifts this year has been in self-reflection and accountability.
As leaders, it can be easy to get caught up in our own visions, goals, and drive to push forward. But Kristin has been intentional about pausing, checking in, and making sure her team feels seen, heard, and valued.
Because leadership is more than just strategy.
It is more than just results.
Leadership is about people.
And when people feel like they matter, they show up differently. They give more, they invest more, and they thrive. Kristin knows this—and that is why she leads with heart first, always.
Slowing Down to Speed Up: The Art of Mindful Success
Kristin is a doer. A go-getter. A woman who moves with urgency.
One thing she leaned on this year: Slow. Down.
Kristin learned that it can be easy to miss the details in the rush to achieve. And in the excitement of building, it is easy to overlook what is already working. And in the pursuit of momentum, sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come in the quiet moments.
Slowing down has allowed her to refine processes that once felt rushed, catch the small details that make a big impact, and deepen relationships instead of just checking the next task off the list.
And in doing so, she has found more clarity, more impact, and more joy.
The Year Ahead: More Kindness, More Purpose, More Kristin Magic
Ask Kristin what she’s most excited about, and her answer is simple:
- Soleful Socks.
- Helping more people.
- Making the world a little kinder.
She is not just talking about impact—she is living it.
She is not just dreaming about change—she is creating it.
She is not just leading a company—she is leading a movement.
And if you ask her what she hopes people will take away from her story?
Be a good human. Be kind. Show up.
Because when you do, everything else falls into place.
The Good Human Tribe
Kristin, my soul sister, my light, my constant source of inspiration—you prove that leadership can be soft, brave, kind, and full of heart. And that is precisely what you bring into this world.
Keep shining, keep giving, and keep being exactly who you are.
The world is better because of you.
