Samara emphasizes the importance of impactful leadership by creating a safe and inclusive work environment where employees can be their authentic selves, emotions and all.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on all these incredible insights!
MEET SAMARA:
Samara is a dynamic leader who is revolutionizing how teams interact. Born and raised in New Mexico, Samara draws inspiration from her artist mom, who always encouraged her to pursue her passions. Today, she oversees 12 districts for Kendra Scott while actively promoting a workplace culture that embraces emotion, builds genuine connections, and empowers individuals to follow their dreams.
Samara firmly believes in challenging the status quo and infusing leadership with empathy. Why? Because, at the end of the day, people work for people. By showing up as her authentic self and inspiring her teams to do the same, Samara has witnessed the remarkable power of fostering consistent results through accountability, strategic thinking, resilience, creative motivation, and a shared vision.
But it’s not all work and no play for Samara. She values personal time and makes sure to carve out space for it. Whether exploring nature with her husband or indulging in her passion for mixed media art through her company, Samara Dawn Art, she knows that balance fuels creativity and fulfillment.
