She was inspired by the people’s spirit and perseverance, and she wanted to do more for them. This paved the way for her to help fundraise and start a children’s home and later started a jewelry business whose proceeds help support the children’s home.

So why is Lisa so passionate about helping others and filling every project that she gets her hands on with love? Well, Lisa believes that when you follow your heart and do things that make others happy, more doors will open for you in the future. And women have a higher propensity to lead with love because they tend to be more tuned-in to their hearts in whatever it is that they’re working on, allowing them to have a kinder, more generous, more supportive, and more nurturing approach on their projects.

Lisa Rueff, Founder and CEO of Collective Hearts, is Andrea Heuston’s guest in this episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show. Tune in as Lisa talks about her humanitarian work in Haiti and how it led to the founding of a children’s home and jewelry business, how her jewelry pieces have made its way to top female leaders like Patrisse Cullors and Michelle Obama, and find out how doing things with love can make the world a better place.
