Contributor Blogs & Corporations :: Kristen Kill {Ep 32}




Declare show

Summary: <br> We all have our ‘thing’.<br> Something that so fits our giftedness &amp; strengths it doesn’t feel like ‘work’.<br> When you are trying to decide where to focus, given all these online opportunities, it helps to remember what you love most. Your ‘thing’.<br> For today’s guest, Kristen Kill, after blogging shifted away from family sharing. . .she went back to her editing and writing roots.<br> <a href="http://declareconference.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DCEp32Kristenkill.jpg"></a><br> Now Kristen edits for a couple of contributor sites. She also found a way to combine her passion for motherhood &amp; her joy in sharing great stuff. While living in NYC she (&amp; her kiddos) help promote marketing campaigns from major brands &amp; events. Pretty awesome!<br> Kristen will be leading a main session at the Declare conference.
