The Ripple Effect of Intentional Leadership with Lisa Even

People experience your leadership long before you make a formal leadership decision.

It's in how you enter a room. How you react when you're stressed. Whether you acknowledge someone. The story you tell. The difficult interaction you choose not to pass along to the next person.

Lisa Even calls it the ripple effect: everything we say and do creates one, whether we're consciously choosing it or not.

In this episode, Lisa and Dr. LL explore intentional leadership, workplace culture, experimentation, small moments of human connection, and why impact doesn't have to be enormous to become meaningful.

If people don't trust what version of you is going to walk into the room, they start preparing for you.

If employees repeatedly experience something different from the leadership values an organization claims, those interactions become more credible than the words.

And if we're unaware of the signals we're continually sending, other people are left to interpret them for themselves.

Loralyn Mears, PhD, aka "Dr. LL," brings you thoughtful conversations with entrepreneurs and small business leaders navigating visibility, leadership, and growth. Thank you for being here.
