Most leaders think it’s the big speeches or bold strategies that define them. Truth is, it’s the tiny, invisible micro-actions—your tone, body language, hallway interactions—that tell your team whether you’re just a boss or a true leader.
In this episode of From Boss to Leader, Velma breaks down how these overlooked moments either build trust or quietly chip it away. You’ll hear:
-
A surprising story of how Nelson Mandela used micro-actions to inspire trust and loyalty.
-
The science behind why body language speaks louder than words.
-
Three practical steps you can use today to harness micro-actions and lead with confidence.
If you’ve ever wondered why your team doesn’t fully trust, follow, or respect you—this episode gives you the invisible fix most leaders miss.
👉 Press play and discover how small actions can make a big impact on your leadership.
