“As a mom and a businesswoman, staying true to my core values is my fundamental secret to success,” Jenner says, in a press release.
“Very rarely are we taught to promote ourselves and be our own biggest advocate but in my class, I will teach members how my family and I have built our businesses by staying true to our authentic selves so that they can be their own best advocate and successfully launch their own entrepreneurial path.”
“From multiple billion-dollar brands to more than 48 million followers, Kris is no doubt the mother of self-invention,” adds David Rogier, founder and CEO of MasterClass. “We’ve had a front-row seat to her family’s life on TV.
“Now, in her class, she’ll uncover the secrets to her and her family’s success, teaching MasterClass members how to build their own brand and pursue their passions, all while staying true to themselves.”
