Episode notes

Is your leadership a steady flame or a flickering candle? In this episode of Leadership in Quarters, host Josh Seldin sits down with Six Sigma Black Belt and leadership coach Hanna Bauer to explore The Spark of Influence. Many leaders operate in a "flat" state-doing the work, hitting the metrics, but lacking the ignition that drives true high-performance. Hanna reveals that the secret to sustainable influence isn't more effort; it's a deeper alignment with your core purpose. Using her background in root cause analysis, Hanna explains how to identify where your "spark" went missing and how to use her signature BEAT Program to reignite it. Whether you are navigating a major career transition, facing the "empty nest" syndrome, or trying to prevent a culture of burnout in your company, this conversation provides the tactical tools to turn your purpose into a powerhouse of performance. In this episode, you'll learn: The Spark vs. The Grind: Identifying the "flat feeling" of misalignment before it turns into total burnout. The DNA of Influence: Why your purpose is an internal pull that survives changes in your job title or role.
