How One Conversation Opened a Door I Didn’t Know I Needed

A Simple Question at Brunch

Not long ago, I was sitting at brunch with a friend from my mastermind when he asked me a simple question:

“How did you get started in leadership training?”

When I think back, it almost feels silly — because it all started with one tiny move.
One small question.
One unexpected yes.

The Moment That Shifted My Path

Years ago, I asked my coach what motivational speakers I should go hear to grow as a person.

She mentioned John Maxwell — a name I wasn’t very familiar with at the time — and suggested I sign up for his newsletter.

Then, in the same breath, she added:

“But what if you became a Maxwell Certified Speaker, Trainer, and Coach?”

My first reaction?

“Why would I do that?”

But within minutes, we were already talking to the person who could make it happen.

And that tiny moment… that quiet yes…
changed everything.

What That One Decision Led To

Today, I get to:

✨ Train leaders inside businesses and corporations
✨ Facilitate The Leadership Game
✨ Host The Leadership Experience — a program for entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone ready to step into confident, authentic leadership

All of it came from one small decision — one moment that didn’t look life-changing, but absolutely was.

The Power of a Quiet Yes

It’s a reminder I carry with me:

Sometimes the decision that transforms your life doesn’t look big at all.
It’s the quiet yes that sets everything else in motion.

Your Turn

What’s a small decision you once made that ended up changing everything?
