MY REASON WHY
kristen mcbride
independent sales director
have you ever asked yourself
what gives you passion and
purpose in life? What motivates
you? Why did you choose
to accept the mary Kay
opportunity?
by Marijana Klapcic
for independent sales director kristen
mcBride of squamish, bc, the reason was
quite simple: to make some extra money to
buy her first home.
but in July 2003, that goal was temporarily
put on hold when Kristen was involved in
a serious car accident, leaving her with
a spinal cord injury and facing months of
rehabilitation.
it was in the rehab centre that Kristen
was first introduced to Mary Kay ® product
– at a skin care class conducted by a blind
woman, no less. she instantly fell in love
with the product, but was never offered the
opportunity – and it had never crossed her
mind to ask.
Kristen continued to pursue her dream of
home ownership, even while others were less
optimistic.
“i remember my mortgage broker telling me
that i would have to put in more hours at my
pre-school job or find another way to bring
in more money,” recalls Kristen. “i thought
perhaps mary Kay would help me bring in an
extra $100 a week.”
enter independent senior sales Director
sarah reese-robertson. Kristen had met
her at a friend’s “Dinner & a makeover” party.
Kristen booked a follow-up appointment with
sarah and the rest, as they say, is history.
Kristen earned the use of her first career
car just six months later and debuted as
an independent sales Director in just eight
months – all while teaching a class of 16
preschoolers four times a week; working
with the big brothers big sisters every
friday; planning the Wheels in motion
fundraiser for her community; participating
in the paralympics – and competing in a
wheelchair rugby tournament! now you can
see why Kristen was asked to be the olympic
torchbearer for squamish and was honoured
as the community’s citizen of the year!
in June 2010, Kristen resigned from her preschool
teaching job and says she’s happier
than ever.
“i don’t ever want to not be part of the
mary Kay sisterhood,” says Kristen. “i’ve been
given the opportunity to help other women
every day. the company and the women are
amazing – so supportive and truly root for
you all the way. although my goal of buying
a house remains the same, i’ve added a new
one: to build the teams of my unit members
and make their dreams come true.”
