The ABQ Accent | Ep 20 - Lindsey Kay

Lindsey Kay, VP of Client Services, WESST Dog lover, avid reader, problem solver. Lindsey Kay is someone we’d all want in our corner, and not just because she’s incredibly hard working. Lindsey is rooted in her values. As newly-minted VP of Client Services at WESST, Lindsey takes the time to get to know business owners and consultants alike; she knows the importance of understanding their stories and backgrounds. These are likely the kind of reasons as to why she’s been recognized so many times for her unique innovations and leadership in her previous role as founder and ED of Paws and Stripes. The internationally-known organization she started in 2010 arose out of her recognition of a distinct need in the veteran and caregiving worlds. Under her leadership of 14 years, Paws evolved from knowing first and foremost that “a dog can help” to providing holistic and trauma-informed relationship building between human and dog, organization and survivor community - the ones “who get it.” Currently Lindsey is processing this big life change with deep gratitude, and welcoming new challenges and small wins. Check out this conversation to learn more about her and WESST’s creative responses to the needs of businesses and community, and to hear Lindsey’s guidance for others who are seeking to problem solve in their own arenas. https://www.wesst.org/https://www.pawsandstripes.org/
