Joy Ride: Kristin C. Lewis of United Airlines

No Surprises

The community engagement expert talks global giving — and taking care of yourself along the way.

Kristin Lewis’s career journey starts over pancakes — as many great journeys do — and follows a twist-y path to United Airlines, where as Senior Manager of Global Community Engagement and Partnership, Kristin manages the brand’s non-profit portfolio, including Miles on a Mission and the Special Olympics. You know, big stuff.

In this episode, Kristin sits down with Kelsey and Mal to discuss corporate responsibility, starting with a big, overarching question: Why does United care?

They also dip into the idea of everyday magic as they discuss the miracle of aviation and the brand’s partnership with Sesame Workshop. (Is there anything more eternally magical than the Muppets?)

She also shares her Lead with Joy philosophy and why it’s important to fill yourself up to keep fighting the good fight.

Finally, we learn Kelsey’s next-level trick to getting out of gym class. (Do not recommend.)
