In this episode of Your Preshift, we explore what inspiration really means on the frontlines of leadership—and why it’s not about big speeches or grand gestures. Instead, real inspiration happens in everyday moments through presence, belief, and how you show up. Ryan introduces the “Fantastic Four” of frontline leadership: Trust, Hope, Agency, and Curiosity—the four human experiences every great leader inspires in their team. Tune in to discover how small shifts in your daily leadership can create big ripple effects.
