Shrink The Change
In a world that celebrates dreaming big, my latest episode of Eye Openers introduces a delightful twist to the usual narrative. It's all about the might of the minute – those tiny steps that lead to giant leaps. I hope this unique approach to cultural transformation gets the wheels turning in your head and sparks a flame of curiosity.
Takeaways from this episode:
🗣️ Start with Communication: Communication is the cornerstone of any change. We often face trust issues within teams and organizations, leading to misunderstandings. By openly sharing our intentions and explaining the 'why' behind our actions, we can build trust and clarity. This method removes uncertainties and unites everyone towards a shared vision. Remember, being transparent is the foundation of any significant change.
🙌 Empower Your Employees: Empowering those around us is crucial. Everyone wants to contribute to positive change and have their ideas heard. By encouraging team members to propose small but meaningful changes in their roles, we can create a substantial impact. Providing a platform for expression and giving autonomy for implementation not only refines processes but also uplifts morale and involvement.
🎉 Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledging small victories is vital. Celebrating these moments breeds momentum and maintains engagement and motivation. Fostering a culture where each step towards our goal is recognized and appreciated is key. This habit cultivates a sense of belonging and demonstrates that every effort, no matter the size, is essential to the grand scheme.
So grab your coffee and your headphones and listen in to the full episode of "Shrink the Change." Let's embrace these small yet powerful steps to create remarkable changes.

Eye Opening Insights:
[00:01:36] We are stifled by struggles in communication. When really, there are things we can do immediately that would signal to the team, the organization, that leadership is serious about this culture change. And in fact, They're starting right now. If you're thinking about taking on an initiative to drive culture or change in your organization, I would start with communication.
[00:04:01] Now, that doesn't mean you have to go along with every single change that's suggested as the leader, as the company owner, but give them a platform, create a space where they can share. Suggestions where they can share what they would love to change or what they think would make a positive impact as it relates to them and their role in their place in the organization.
[00:06:03] By recognizing the small things people do every day, it helps us realize that we all can make an impact. We all stand to make positive change if we really want to. And when people see that as an option, they understand that they have that potential. I have that potential to make that impact, too. I have that potential to be recognized and valued, too.
