🌱 Leadership Development in Small Moments

Have you ever had a moment in a hospital hallway, a team huddle, or a casual chat over a cup of coffee where something said stopped you in your tracks and shifted the rest of your day?

That’s influence in action. 

Influence isn’t always loud. It's often in those quiet, routine moments.

It's manager who asks, “How are you, really?” before diving into metrics, the nurse who teaches a new hire during a busy shift, instead of rushing past, or the team leader who admits, “I don’t have the answer, but we’ll figure it out together”

Authentic leadership is built one quiet moment at a time.

Influence in Action

What does “influence” look like in your leadership today?

Deeper thinking: what is my desired influence and how can I take steps to bridge the gap?

Closing thought

Over time, small acts of influence - like drops of rain - carve stone. Here, together, we’ll cultivate leadership that lasts. One cup. One conversation. One moment at a time.
