Micro to Momentum: The leadership Series Trailer

Hi, I’m Kerrin Smith — a positive leadership and wellbeing science consultant who’s spent close to two decades exploring how to get the best from people. From leading wellbeing in schools to consulting with hundreds of schools across Australia, I’ve seen firsthand how small, intentional shifts in leadership can create extraordinary impact.
Micro to Momentum: The Leadership Series is a podcast designed for busy leaders who want practical, evidence-based ideas they can use straight away. Each episode is less than 10 minutes and follows a simple rhythm: listen, reflect, and act. You’ll hear relatable stories from leadership practice, the science that underpins them, and one clear action you can take into your week.
This isn’t a podcast to binge and forget. It’s one to sit with — to take into a meeting, share with your team, or use as a reflection prompt before the day begins. Every insight is grounded in wellbeing science and positive organisational research, inspired by scholars such as Martin Seligman, Barbara Fredrickson, and Kim Cameron. Because leadership growth doesn’t happen all at once — it happens one micro shift at a time.
