When work is engaging and effective for all, capitalism recaptures its power to change the world for the better—one community at a time.

Praise

“Love Works deeply resonated with me on many levels. It’s rare to find a guide that not only explores conscious leadership but does so with such vulnerability and heart. Your insights into leading with love, conscious capitalism, and the importance of the circular economy really struck a chord with me, as they align with my values and the way I approach my work. You’ve brilliantly woven together personal stories, thought-provoking concepts, and practical strategies that inspire readers to reflect and take action.The balance of these elements makes your book both compelling and essential for anyone seeking to lead with purpose. I’m certain I’ll be applying its lessons in my own nonprofit work. Your pioneering approach in the corporate world, particularly as a female, heart-centered leader, is something I believe will inspire many others to do the same. This book is an invaluable resource for leaders who wish to create meaningful impact by embracing both compassion and innovation.”

“Kelly Winegarden Hall’s story is one of inspiration. This book shares her vision for how taking LOVE into the workplace and into our daily lives can fill us with JOY. Chapter 4: Activating Love was one of my favorite chapters. It reconfirmed a lot of what I try to do each day I step foot into my school building. It left me feeling more energized and motivated to continue expressing love for those I work with by simply by being kind, caring, compassionate, and by showing a level of concern that some people never see in their work environments.”
—Anthony Dean, SPED Teacher & President of the Washington Township Education Association

“Love Works boldly embraces the act of bringing our love to work in-stead of sequestering it at home. Kelly Hall cracks open the tradition-al definition of love and offers specific, actionable steps to create, with love, a compassionate, safe and connected workplace. If you are looking for an innovative and inspiring way to foster abundance and fulfillment for everyone this book is an invaluable resource.”
—Shawna Reininger, The Conscious Enterprise

“Kelly Hall poignantly describes and encourages a work environment that embodies the directive “treat others as you would like to be treat-ed.” Caring for the “whole individual” at work, as opposed to the “em-ployee” will add super power behind the mission of any organization. Requiring this book to be read in business schools will result in better teams, better missions, and a better world.”
—Joanna Genser, Former CFO and Chairmen of the Board, Intown Cares

“In Love Works, Kelly Hall draws on her remarkable career and life experiences to reveal a transformative approach to the workplace: integrating genuine care and personal connection. With warmth and insight, Hall demonstrates how infusing compassion and authentic curiosity about others into professional settings can foster creative, high-per-forming, harmonious teams. By prioritizing meaningful relationships, team members not only elevate their work but also cultivate a vibrant, fulfilling atmosphere where everyone can thrive.This inspiring guide shows how bringing love into the workplace can unleash creativity, strengthen bonds, and create a truly rewarding career for all. Love Works is a must-read for anyone looking to reshape the modern workplace into a space of purpose, fulfillment, and inclusive collaboration.”
—Sean Kennedy, Social Entrepreneur

“One of the things I most admire about Kelly is how, while leading a $1.5 billion division of a Fortune 50 company, she took the principles I shared with her about the power of trust and exponentially improved outcomes at all levels (for herself, her direct team, her division, and the companies she has worked for) by integrating those ideas with what she discovered about the power of love. Kelly’s insights here about psycho-logical safety, extending trust, and deliberate empowerment align perfectly with what I’ve written about effective change leadership. What Kelly shares about living and working L.A.R.G.E. takes everything I’ve learned about culture, strategy execution, and personal and organizational effectiveness to the next level. Love Works has reshaped the way I think about the time I’ve been given to make a difference in today’s VUCA world.”
—Andy Cindrich, Author, Coach and Keynote Speaker

“Having worked with Kelly—I can say that love did work! She always managed to maximize engagement and inclusivity in our teams. She has captured the essence of this in Love Works. I sincerely hope more leaders give her approach a try!”
—Mark Kleinschmit, COO, Other Half Processing

“I’ve had the pleasure of holding space for Kelly during a part of her remarkable healing journey. Her message is particularly important and timely, especially in an era when darkness often seems to overshadow the light. It is a message of love and hope that can only be authentically conveyed by someone who has navigated through darkness and emerged stronger on the other side. Rooted in the practicality of love, her message is both effective and sustainable. Kelly’s work and life have challenged and inspired me to look beyond the limitations of my own narrative, encouraging me to become a more loving and expansive leader.”
—Dimitri Mugianis, Cardea Founder, Ceremonialist & Harm Reduction Community Organizer

“As a private equity investor, I am keenly aware of the impact culture has on any company’s results. Love Works is full of interesting stories and actionable insights that made me pause to reflect on my own behaviors as a leader of leaders.Hall is a gifted storyteller, weaving thoughtful principles into each chapter that will resonate and inspire readers to bring meaningful change into their everyday lives. A master at relating these ‘common sense’ ideas, Hall provides a relatable and applicable guide to reframe safety, redistribute power and activate bigger, bolder wins.”
