Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks joins us on the #HerHustle blog to share her 领导人hip journey with us. 她认为……很重要 更安全的清洁十大彩票网赌平台 for your health, and what she does to overcome moments of self-doubt and adversity.

让我们深入了解一下……

CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF AND THE STORY OF ECOS?
我是…的总裁兼首席执行官 ECOS, the maker of plant-powered laundry detergents and household cleaning products. I’m proud to sit at the helm of a company that is both environmentally and socially responsible. All four of our manufacturing facilities are carbon neutral, 水中性, 及零废物白金认证, and we recently announced that we’re now a Climate Positive manufacturer. As a woman of African American and Greek descent, I’m proud that we’ve created a culture of diversity and empowerment at ECOS; our 领导人hip team is 58% female and 41% BIPOC (Black, 土著人和有色人种).

WHY ARE CLEAN PRODUCTS IMPORTANT TO OUR HEALTH?
健康之旅, you often think about organic foods and natural skincare products, but you don’t always think about the cleaning products in your home. Cleaning products play such a critical role in human health and planetary health; studies have clearly demonstrated that some many of the ingredients commonly used in conventional cleaners are linked to asthma, 十大彩票网赌平台, 神经和器官受损. It’s critically important to use 更安全的清洁十大彩票网赌平台 to protect your health and the health of your loved ones.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR OUR READERS ON HOW THEY CAN BE MORE CONSCIOUS ABOUT THEIR PURCHASING DECISIONS?
当你买清洁十大彩票网赌平台的时候, you need to be aware that there’s no regulatory body overseeing safety in the cleaning products industry. 因此，寻找是很重要的 U.S. EPA安全选择认证 在标签上. Our ECOS products bear this designation so you can easily see that they’re made with safer ingredients and that they perform well too.

WHAT WAS THE WORST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED?
The worst advice I’ve received is to be overly cautious or to “play it safe.作为企业家, 领导人, 以及行业游戏规则的改变者, 我们必须承担风险, and we have to have a deep and abiding belief in our personal convictions to truly be successful in the marketplace. Those people who tell you to back away from opportunities often minimize the impact you can have on the world. I think that we need to encourage more strength, bravery, and courage in 领导人hip.

成功对你来说意味着什么?
Success means leading a healthy, happy, purpose-filled life. It means being able to wake up in the morning and know that the actions I take during my day positively impact people, 包括我的家人, 我们的星球.

IN MOMENTS OF SELF-DOUBT OR ADVERSITY, HOW DO YOU BUILD YOURSELF BACK UP?
花时间补充体力是很重要的, 恢复, 重建我们的力量, so during difficult times I’ll focus on what’s most important to me and make sure that I’m taking time to take care of myself and prioritize family time. These things can be really rejuvenating, especially if I feel my energy is diminished. 注重身体健康, 心理健康, and spiritual health helps me more quickly reconnect to my mission and my purpose.

DO YOU HAVE ANY MORNING ROUTINES OR EVENING RITUALS TO HELP YOU STAY BALANCED?
Every morning I practice gratitude and the day’s intentions to set my mindset. I always start my day with a healthy breakfast, and I always try to end my day with a bath with Epsom salts as I listen to music and decompress. 我对饮食中的组胺过敏, and the hot water和 Epsom salts help with reduce my symptoms from histamine intolerance and help me sleep.

WHAT TIPS OR ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER WOMEN WHO ARE ASPIRING FOR       LEADERSHIP ROLES?
当我开始我的职业生涯, I was fortunate to have the support of some wonderful mentors, and that’s made all the difference in my success. 找导师, especially women who are experienced and who can give you support and guidance, 很重要吗?. 同样，约翰·F·肯尼迪. Kennedy once said, “Leadership and learning are indispensable to one another.” Continuous learning is critical for 领导人hip, so keep learning and better yourself at every opportunity. That will help you create value for your organization outside the scope of your job title, which can lead to more 领导人hip opportunities.

你有严格的护肤计划吗? IF SO, WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE PRODUCTS OR STEPS IN YOUR ROUTINE?
I am deeply committed to using natural skincare and clean beauty products. 作为一个更安全的清洁十大彩票网赌平台线的制造商, I understand that the skin is the largest organ of the body, and I want to make sure that I never use beauty or cleaning products that contain parabens, 邻苯二甲酸盐, 甲醛, 等. I’m currently using a mixture of Three Ships and Beautycounter products. 早上，我开始 三船芦荟净化+氨基酸净化r和 Beautycounter’s滋养去角质霜r. 接下来是 三船平静薰衣草纯露爽肤水，我爱 Three Ships’ Radiance Grape Stem Cell + Squalane Day Cream 给我的脸补水，吸收紫外线. At the end of the day, I use micellar water to remove makeup gently and apply Beautycounter’s Countertime Tetrapeptide Supreme Cream.
