Cierra Gross grew up at a dinner table where entrepreneurship wasn't a dream, it was just life. Her father built his own business, and his philosophy was direct: nobody owes you anything, so you better go earn it.
That perspective traveled with her through a master's degree in HR, three and a half years at ExxonMobil, and a coveted role at Google. Then came a Monday morning meeting, an honest answer, and a silence that made the path forward undeniable. She left Google, not in a blaze of freedom, but in a quiet exhale, and started building the world her father had always shown her was possible.
Worklution now fills a gap millions of employees live with daily: genuinely independent HR support that works for the worker, not the company. It had its first booking within an hour of launching. Today it runs entirely remotely, powered by technology like Zoom, supporting thousands of workers across the country.
In this chapter, you'll discover:
• How growing up with an entrepreneur father shaped a business philosophy decades in the making
• Why one honest moment in a corporate meeting made the alternative impossible to ignore
• What independent HR actually looks like — and why millions of workers need it
• How Cierra built and scaled a remote business without a single physical office
• What happens when the life your parent modeled finally becomes your own?
