One Small Action Can Change Everything | The Ripple Effect of Leadership (Ep. 333)

Описание: One Small Action Can Change Everything | The Ripple Effect of Leadership (Ep. 333)

What if the biggest changes in your life and leadership didn’t come from force, certainty, or massive action — but from one small, intentional ripple?

In Episode 333 of Paper Napkin Wisdom, Govindh Jayaraman sits down with Sabine Hutchison — author of Beyond the Ladder and founder of the Ripple Network — to explore how meaningful change actually happens.

This conversation is for leaders, entrepreneurs, founders, and coaches who are tired of pushing harder for outcomes — and are ready to understand how presence, awareness, and small courageous actions create exponential impact over time.

Sabine shares powerful personal stories:

1. Asking for help as a college student — and how that single moment changed her life
2. Leaving a stable career to “run away and join the circus” with David Copperfield
3. Moving to another country without certainty — and discovering how ripples compound
4. Why progress (especially for women in leadership) only continues if we stay aware and speak up
5. At the center of this episode is a simple napkin message:

“One ripple… can change the tide.”

You’ll hear why:
Small actions often matter more than big plans
Leaders don’t force results — they create motion
Awareness is a daily leadership discipline
Asking the right question can unlock unseen opportunity
Paying it forward creates impact that outlives you

If you’re navigating growth, transition, uncertainty, or leadership pressure — this episode will help you reframe how change really begins.
