Leadership and Life Bookshelf: The Power of Moments – The Secret Power of Defining Moments
Episode Summary
Why do some experiences stick with us while others disappear? The Power of Moments unpacks the elements that make certain moments unforgettable—and how we can create more of them in our work, leadership, and life.
Key Points:
Defining moments often share four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection—and we can intentionally design them.
Transitions, milestones, and “pits” are powerful opportunities to create meaning—if we take the time to notice and shape them.
Whether it’s a first day on the job or a customer interaction, thoughtful moments have the power to boost engagement, deepen relationships, and leave a lasting impression.
