The Unstuck Career
How Unexpected Kindness Magnifies Your Impact
This week, we're talking about the power of unexpected kindness—and yes, chocolate cake! I kick things off by sharing what inspired my TEDx talk, “The Chocolate Cake Phenomenon” (linked in the show notes), and how a simple act like baking and sharing cake became a unique way to build lasting connections. We also revisit the inspiring story of Beth, a former teacher and a recent podcast guest, who traded the classroom for a bakery and found surprising success by trusting her instincts and taking courageous action.
In this episode, you’ll discover why small gestures can have a massive impact on your career and life. I share lessons learned from giving away nearly 9,000 cakes over the years and offer practical ideas for demonstrating kindness—from heartfelt compliments to genuine smiles. It doesn’t have to be costly or time-consuming, but these little moments can transform someone’s day—and yours.
Ready to create more positive impact at work and beyond? Join me as we explore how practicing kindness can boost your confidence, deepen your relationships, and help you become unstuck and unstoppable.
