    Dr. Christiane Schroeter: How Small Steps Build Confidence, Leadership and Lasting Change

    Christiane Schroeter The Small Steps Doctor. Confidence and leadership, built one rep at a time. Dr. Christiane Schroeter helps leaders do the hardest part of change... actually start. Her work closes the gap between knowing what to do and doing it, so professionals lead with clarity and confidence when the stakes are high. She came to the US from Germany as a Fulbright Scholar, earned her Ph.D. in Health Economics, and built her entire career in her second language. Today she is a Professor of Marketing, Innovation & Entrepreneurship at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, where she has taught and advised more than 10,000 students and professionals over 20+ years. She has spoken on stages across five countries and been featured in Business Insider, SheKnows, and HigherEdJobs. Her TEDx talk, How Small Steps Create Big Change, introduces her Petite Practice® framework... a simple, repeatable system built on small actions that compound into lasting momentum. As a behavioral economist, she can prove it. Her research on how small changes ripple through an entire system includes a Journal of Health Economics paper cited more than 300 times, so small steps are not a slogan she borrowed. The framework anchors her keynotes, her teaching, and her book, Petite Practice®: Small, Steady Steps to a Life of Momentum and Real Change (2026). Christiane also hosts the Happy Healthy Hustle podcast, ranked in the Top 1% globally. On stage and on the mic, she brings research, real leadership experience, and practices audiences can use the same day. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Steve Snedegar: How CEOs Build Scalable Businesses, Strong Teams, and Better Execution

    Steve Snedegar Founder & Managing Partner Steve Snedegar has spent his career in the arena—as a four-time CEO leading businesses through growth, transformation, integration, and turnaround. Today, as founder of Stage 5 Partners, he advises founders, CEOs, and leadership teams facing the difficult transition from working harder to leading and operating better. Steve brings a distinctive coach–mentor–operator perspective. He understands both the pressure leaders carry and the organizational problems they often struggle to see: unclear accountability, competing priorities, weak execution, leadership misalignment, stalled growth, and businesses that remain too dependent on the founder. His conversations are candid, practical, and grounded in real operating experience. Rather than offering generic leadership advice, Steve helps audiences understand why good companies stall, how leaders unintentionally create complexity, and what must change to build a healthier, more scalable organization. Listeners will leave with practical ways to improve their judgment, simplify priorities, strengthen accountability, develop their leadership teams, and convert strategy into measurable results. Steve is an engaging guest for conversations about leadership, business growth, organizational execution, executive decision-making, succession, integration, and the realities of leading through change.

    Leadership Begins Within: Dr. Jessie and Omar Ferreira on Transforming Yourself and Organizational Culture

    Dr. Jessie And Omar Ferreira Lead Your Life. Shape Your Culture. Begin Within. Omar and Dr. Jessie Ferreira are the co-founders of ASQ Empowerment and the architects of the Fractal Coherence Methodology, a framework built on a single governing premise: leadership that begins within is the only kind that lasts. Together, they bring a rare combination to any podcast conversation. Drawing from their combined experience in operational nonprofit and higher education, they name the structural patterns underneath the problems leaders are already living, the feedback loops, the systems archetypes, the organizational dynamics that produce predictable outcomes and resist every individually-targeted intervention. They do not speak in abstractions. They work from precision, the specific fractal relationship between a leader's inner architecture and the organizational conditions that architecture produces. Their diagnostic lens operates at two scales simultaneously: the person carrying the weight and the system that either compounds or exhausts that weight. This is not a leadership inspiration conversation. When Omar and Jessie join a show, the audience gets something more useful: the experience of having their situation named with more accuracy than they expected, and a structural understanding of what creates it and what resolves it.
