Adrienne Prentice, the founder and CEO of Keep Company, joins us to share her transition from attorney to leadership coach and entrepreneurship. Through her personal journey, Adrienne provides deep insights into the significant challenges faced by working parents and caregivers, highlighting the tough choices between career aspirations and family obligations. Drawing from her experiences at law firms and Hewlett Packard, she delves into the disconnect in organizations, where top talent often feels compelled to sacrifice personal well-being for professional success.
In our discussion, Adrienne introduces the innovative Care Census tool and the Signature Group Learning Experience, designed to offer real support to employees juggling caregiving responsibilities. These solutions not only foster a sense of community but also enhance retention and promotion rates, providing substantial cost savings for employers. Adrienne argues for a reevaluation of work-life balance strategies to better accommodate all parents and caregivers, ensuring that support extends beyond just new mothers to include all caregiving roles.
We also explore the critical elements of building a supportive business environment, from engaging passionate investors to maintaining strategic team alignment through the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). Adrienne shares her thoughts on the delicate balance between leveraging technology and preserving human connections, ensuring her company's mission remains intact.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
