## Resource

Leadership doesn’t end when the conversation is over. It lives on in what people remember, the stories they tell themselves, and the tone that lingers long after the moment has passed. In this episode of Branching Out with Sierra, Sierra sits down with storyteller, author, and Slice of Life podcast co-host, Rich Weller, to explore leadership beyond the moment. Together, they unpack how leaders shape others not just through decisions and direction, but through everyday words, encouragement, and how they show up in small interactions. Drawing from Rich’s work in storytelling, community leadership, social media, and his children’s books The Story of Egan and the Encouragement Tree and Maya’s Magic Words, this conversation highlights why moments that matter rarely happen by accident, and how leaders can be more intentional memory-makers, story-shapers, and tone-setters. https://therichweller.com https://www.facebook.com/share/1CDUPG7prG/ https://sliceoflife.buzzsprout.com https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/slice-of-life/id1749072669
