He spent over 30 years creating technical documentation for Microsoft and other software firms.

Welcome to another insightful episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan sits down with longtime friend and agency leader Jeff Eisenberg for a candid conversation about the art and practice of agency leadership. Whether you're a seasoned agency owner or new to the business, this discussion is packed with real-world lessons and thoughtful perspectives that will help you elevate your leadership game and set your agency up for lasting success. Jeff shares the compelling journey that led him from sports marketing with major league teams to purchasing and running his own ad agency. Now, as he transitions into author, teacher, and mentor, Jeff unveils the leadership strategies and philosophies that have served him throughout his decades-long career. The focal point of the conversation is Jeff's new book, Beyond the Big: The Tiny Moments of Leadership, which takes a fresh, practical look at how small, everyday actions define truly great leaders. Together, Drew and Jeff unpack the power of “tiny moments”—those micro-interactions and subtle choices that shape agency culture, empower teams, and foster real trust. They discuss actionable ways to be more present, why giving away power is essential, and how agency owners can break the habit of doing in order to focus on being and leading. Jeff also opens up about his own growth as a leader, offering relatable anecdotes, hard-won advice, and encouragement for leaders at every stage.   Whether you're planning for succession, looking to strengthen your core values, or simply hoping to increase your presence and impact, this episode is a treasure trove of actionable wisdom. Tune in for strategies you can start applying today, and get inspired to become the kind of leader your team will remember for years to come.  A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

In episode 128 of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, Michael Randel joins Carol to explore how psychological safety—often dismissed as a “soft” concept—plays a critical role in nonprofit team performance, learning, and innovation.  They discuss:  The connection between organizational readiness and the deeper human dynamics that shape effective leadership and collaboration.  What psychological safety looks like in action,  Why it's vital in today's polarized climate, How nonprofit leaders can foster inclusive, high-trust environments where people feel safe to speak up, take risks, and learn from mistakes.   Episode highlights: [00:08:55] 

In this episode of the Death Dhamma Podcast, we turn our attention to equanimity—not as an abstract ideal, but as a living, breathing practice woven into the fabric of daily life. From missed buses to difficult conversations, we explore how small, often unnoticed moments offer profound opportunities to cultivate balance and composure. Drawing on both personal experiences and Buddhist teachings, this conversation examines why equanimity is more than just emotional calm—it's a form of wisdom that helps us face impermanence, grief, and uncertainty with greater grace. Discover how everyday challenges can become doorways to deeper understanding and steadier presence on the path.

What does “follow your intuition”actually look like in real life? In this episode, I share a small but powerful moment that reminded me how listening to even the smallest nudge can lead to much needed emotional release, clarity, and connection. This story starts with an album, a long drive home, and a moment of surrender… and turns into something that helped me process stress, find peace, and reconnect with the magic of being alive. It's a reflection on how our senses, our bodies, and the universe work together to guide us if we're willing to listen.Inside this episode, I talk about: ✨The sacred connection between music, memory, and healing ✨How tuning into intuition can regulate the nervous system and release stored emotion ✨Why small moments of presence can lead to massive personal growth ✨The beauty of art and creativity as tools for self-trust and expansion ✨How someone living their purpose can ripple out to support the healing of others ✨A reminder that your work, big or small, matters deeply to someone, even if you never meet ✨My reflections on the interconnectedness of mindfulness, grief, joy, and the spiritual journeyThis episode is a reminder that your inner voice is always finding ways to speak to you. Sometimes it shows up in a passing thought, a lyric, or through tears behind the wheel. Your only job is to listen and trust.===Subscribe to My Newsletter: https://amandavsevilla.kit.com/newsletter  Connect with me for daily inspiration to live your purpose on on my socials: Instagram.com/flourishwithpurposepodcast/  Instagram.com/amandavsevilla/  Tiktok.com/@amandavsevilla/  Youtube.com/@amandavsevilla  FREE Resources: https://bit.ly/FWPfreeresources   By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Amanda Sevilla, or used by Amanda Sevilla with permission, and are protected under U.S. and international copyright and trademark laws.

What's a big goal that you're working towards right now? Growing your coaching business? Signing more clients or increasing your revenue? Or perhaps it's a personal goal, like improving your quality of life, working less, or focusing more on your relationships. Whatever it is, that big change is possible for you. But even with that vision in mind, you may still struggle to stick with the path of getting there. In this episode, we'll explore the challenges that come with changing your life and how your daily decisions can create lasting change sustainably–one small choice at a time. When we set out to make changes, we often come up with a big plan of action. However, this can leave us feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or frustrated when we don't progress as quickly as we desire. I want to offer you this: sometimes, doing less and pushing less—while gently bringing daily intention into small moments—is much more powerful than even the biggest, grandest plan. Today, we'll talk about the trap of grand gestures and why we're drawn to dramatic change in the first place. We explore how inaction often follows those big attempts that fall flat, and the impact of the deeper things that are going on within us. When you combine mindset shifts with an understanding of the nervous system, examining the small choices in your life provides a gentle entry point to transformation with less resistance and greater ease. Small changes, made in small moments, can truly lead to the greatest shifts. We'll look at this through the lens of you as a business owner, as someone working toward personal growth, and as a coach supporting others through change. When you focus on daily decisions, you create your own step-by-step guide to lasting change—and you learn how to help your clients do the same.What you'll learn:Why small decisions are more sustainable than grand gestures when shaping the life you wantThe nervous system's role in sabotaging big change How energy cost impacts your ability to create lasting changeExamples of small daily decisions and how they build habits that drive transformationWhy the four fundamentals of lasting change are essential to this approach—for both you and your clientsYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

Small Moments, Big Calm Episode Description: In today's episode, I talk about the quiet power of small moments—the ones we often overlook. A slow sip of coffee. A breath before a meeting. A glance out the window. These tiny pauses may not seem like much, but they can become anchors of calm throughout your day. You don't need a retreat or a silent room to feel peaceful. You just need to notice the stillness that's already there—waiting in the spaces between. Key Takeaway: Lasting calm isn't built in hours—it's built in moments. Catch the small ones, and peace becomes part of your day. Quote to Reflect On: “The present moment is filled with joy and peace. If you are attentive, you will see it.” — Thich Nhat Hanh Thanks for Listening! If this episode brought a little peace to your day, consider sharing it with someone else who might need a gentle reminder to pause.

Stop Outsourcing Culture to HR From Toxic to Terrific: Small moments create big shifts Episode 256 (Mike is based in Canmore, Alberta) ---- In this conversation we explore: The difference between workplace culture and humor—and how humor supports culture. Why culture is a company's number one competitive advantage. The visible and invisible signs of strong or weak workplace culture. The impact of leadership on shaping and sustaining culture. Why every employee contributes to culture—not just HR or leadership. How intentional values and small behaviors shape long-term culture. The difference between healthy and toxic conflict at work. Simple, practical ways to assess and improve workplace culture. How humor, rituals, and fun foster psychological safety and team connection. The concept of an "umbrella value" and its influence on decision-making. ----- About our guest, Michael Kerr: Mike is the author of 9 books, including, The Jerk-Free Workplace, The Humor Advantage and Small Moments, Big Outcomes: How Leaders Create Cultures That Fuel Extraordinary Results. Learn more about Mike Kerr, his services and books at https://mikekerr.com/ ----- Key Learning Points from the Interview Culture is a Competitive Advantage Culture impacts productivity, retention, customer loyalty, and overall performance more than strategy alone. Mojo Matters Mojo is the vibe or energy of a workplace—it can be felt and should be maintained intentionally. Humor Fuels Culture Humor isn't fluff; it builds psychological safety, encourages engagement, and reduces burnout. Leadership Sets the Tone Leaders act as culture conductors. Their words, mood, and mindset ripple through teams. Everyone Owns Culture Culture isn't HR's job alone. Every employee contributes to culture in every interaction. Small Moments Have Big Outcomes A culture is shaped more by consistent small gestures than by grand slogans or posters. Define and Live Your Values Real values are reflected in daily decisions, not corporate posters. Misaligned values create cynicism. Conflict is Inevitable—Make It Constructive Healthy cultures allow disagreement without blame or fear. Psychological safety matters. Assess Culture With Gut Checks and Simple Questions Ask: Would you recommend this workplace to a friend? What's one thing you'd change? Culture Attracts Talent Great cultures draw top talent. But to win them, you must showcase culture honestly and creatively. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

Figuring out how to notice leadership in your teen can feel so overwhelming, but you're not alone! Check out these 5 Fresh Tips to help notice leadership in your teen with teen leadership coach Lorraine Connell.You can learn more about Lorraine Connell on her Fresh Starts Profile.5 Fresh Tips to help you notice leadership skills in your teenager:Notice the Small Moments of Initiative: Leadership isn't always loud. Pay attention to when a teen takes action without being asked—whether it's helping a peer, asking thoughtful questions, or problem-solving on their own. These moments reveal natural leadership tendencies that often go unnoticed.Encourage Decision-Making: Give teens the space to make choices and own the outcomes. Whether it's picking their classes for next year, leading a group discussion, or making a personal decision, every choice builds confidence in their ability to lead.Redefine Leadership Beyond Popularity: Many teens (and adults) think leaders are only the loudest, most outgoing, or the ones with titles. True leadership comes in many forms—from quiet resilience to leading by example. Help teens see leadership in themselves by pointing out strengths like empathy, problem-solving, and persistence.Celebrate Mistakes as Learning Opportunities: Teens often fear failure, but mistakes are where real leadership growth happens. When they try, fail, and try again, they build resilience. Encourage reflection by asking, “What did you learn from this?” instead of focusing on what went wrong.Give Them Opportunities to Lead in Everyday Situations: Leadership isn't just for student council or team captains. It happens in group projects, family settings, friendships, and online spaces. Ask them, “How can you lead in your own way today?” and watch their confidence grow!

In one of the most heartwarming conversations yet on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes Leah Boden back to explore her new book series, Tales of Boldness and Faith. Together they dive into the life of C.S. Lewis, the power of stories to shape a soul, and the lingering beauty of a well-spent childhood.

This episode is a celebration of imagination, slow living, and the unseen ways we pour into the future simply by living well today. If you've ever wondered if small choices matter, if storytelling still has a place in a noisy world, or if childhood wonder can linger into adulthood — this conversation will encourage you deeply. It's an invitation to savor a slower, richer, and more meaningful life. *** Learn more about Leah Boden and everything she has to offer (including her substack!) here Get a copy of Chronicles of Wonder about C.S.

#70 [Inside the Mind] Jody Martins: Progress versus Perfection, Reframing Failure, and Staying Focused Amid Countelss Distractions Today, I'm joined by Mental Performance Coach and Host of The Performance Formula Podcast, Jody Martins.  In today's episode, you'll learn: How to create a meaningful morning routine that sets the tone for your day. Why copying someone else's routine—like Tiger or Bryson—isn't the answer. The difference between striving for progress vs. striving for perfection. Practical strategies to break free from negative self-talk during a round. The power of mindfulness and micro-moments to re-center your focus. How to reframe failure as feedback and an essential step toward mastery. How to develop a "smart bomb" focus to stay on track amid external distractions. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Jody From the earliest days as a coach, Jody has had a deep fascination with performance. His coaching journey started as a cricket coach and very early on he realised that performance is not just about having good skills and fitness. He learned that the mind (thought and feelings) or rather lack of mind during performance is a far greater indicator of performance. Now he partners with athletes who want to understand themselves and in doing so, design and build the lifestyle and processes that allow them to show up as their best consistently. www.jodymartins.co  @realjodymartins @performanceformulapodcast Play to Your Potential On (and Off) the Course Schedule a Mindset Coaching Discovery Call Subscribe to the More Pars than Bogeys Newsletter Download my “Play Your Best Round” free hypnosis audio recording.

Connect your habits to your long-term goals, like improving focus or building resilience. Perfection Is the Enemy of Growth: Instead of aiming for perfection, aim for consistent improvement. Learn from your mistakes rather than fearing them. Fail Beautifully, Learn Relentlessly: View failure as feedback. Each missed shot or poor round holds valuable lessons if you're willing to reflect. Redirect Your Focus with the W.I.N. Acronym: When distractions arise, ask yourself: "What's Important Next?" This helps you stay grounded and present for your next shot. Self-Awareness Builds Confidence: Notice negative self-talk and consciously shift to neutral or positive thinking. Practicing mindfulness helps you catch and redirect unhelpful thoughts. Choose Your Experience on the Course: Decide how you want to feel during your round—calm, focused, or joyful—and set the intention to create that experience, regardless of your score. Small Moments of Stillness Lead to Big Changes: Incorporate micro-moments of stillness—like focusing on your breath or tuning into the sound of the wind—to reset your mind and stay present. Key Quotes: "Routine becomes easier when it's tied to something bigger than yourself."  "Perfectionism breeds mediocrity. Progress is the real pursuit."  "The inner game drives the outer game."  "Choose the experience you want to have before you step onto the course." "Failure isn't final—it's feedback."  "Self-awareness is like upgrading your smart bomb—it improves your accuracy in life."  "Neutrality in your thoughts helps you build positive momentum over time."  Time Stamps: 00:00 Morning Routines and Their Impact 09:49 The Pursuit of Perfection vs. Growth Mindset 20:12 Choosing Your Experience in Sports 25:13 The Journey to Self-Awareness 29:05 Meditation and Focus: A Path to Clarity 35:41 Harnessing the Mind: Strategies for Course Correction 42:34 What's Important Next: A Focused Approach to Performance

With Valentine's week here, love is in the air—but the deepest, most lasting love is the one we build with our children every day. In this episode, we're exploring how everyday moments of connection shape your child's emotional well-being, strengthen attachment, and build the foundation for their future relationships. From the first time your baby grasps your finger to the moments your teenager seeks comfort after a tough day, these interactions are more than just sweet memories—they're essential for secure attachment and healthy development. We'll dive into the science behind connection, including the power of “serve and return” interactions, and discuss practical ways to strengthen bonds with your child—even in the midst of busy schedules and distractions.

Send us a textThe practice of keeping a daily gratitude journal has had such a considerable impact on my life that I now make a gratitude list both morning and night. I've found that the benefit of creating this list is that you have to search for things to be grateful for. You almost become wired to look for things to be grateful for in every moment, shifting your perspective to focus on the positives. This week's episode 296 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about the ripple effect of gratitude- how small moments spark big changes. Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Using morning and nightly gratitude journaling as a way to shift my perspective and recognize more good in my life. How practicing gratitude has helped me recognize the pivotal moments and people that have shaped the trajectory of my life. Two powerful instances where a chain of events led up to something bigger, for which I am incredibly grateful. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!
