Woman of the Week ~ Kerstin Reinhart

Here at Executive Elements, we like to feature fantastic women we think you should know. Some of these women are clients, some are friends, some are women we’ve only just met. But they all have this in common: they are dynamic, interesting women who have agreed to share with us their insights and secrets to success.

My Quote on life: “Be curious, not judgmental.” -Walt Whitman
