Creating the space for people to find each other - with Kim Hale

What happens when you stop waiting for the right people to cross your path and start creating the spaces where they can?

Kim Hale’s career has been shaped by people who gave her room to ask questions, make mistakes and figure out what she thought for herself. Today, as the founder of Splash, she’s creating those opportunities for others.

In this episode, we talk about informal mentorship, why peers can be just as valuable as people further ahead in their careers, and what can happen when you bring people with different experiences into the same room.

Kim also shares why she thinks about careers as trees rather than ladders, why asking for help works better when you know what you need, and how being useful to others has shaped her own career.

Her advice for building relationships is simple: get into the room, give it a go and care a little less about getting every interaction right.
