    Several Bites of the Elephant
    Jamie does a great job breaking lean concepts down into relatable and insightful stories for ops managers to relate to and makes it easy to embrace the concepts because...she used to be one. Her genuine desire to help people implement concepts and her engaging energy will flow into your ears and percolate between them.

    Not just for ops managers
    Jamie totally makes lean leadership relatable to real life. She brings energy and and (dare I say it, fun) to learning how to be a better lean leader. And hey,- you don't need to be an ops manager to learn something form Jamie. Doesn't matter what you are leading - she can make lean leadership concepts pertinent to you and what you are working on.

    Real and inspiring
    Jamie explains lean and our role in creating and promoting a culture of continuous improvement through quick antidotes, fun stories, and simple actions. The content is relevant to any leader or emerging leader who is interested in taking small, manageable steps toward personal growth and leadership style change. The episodes are short and she always leaves you smiling and excited to try something new.

    10 minutes of awesomeness
    Couldn’t think of a better use of 10 minutes of your time if you are in a leadership position. Jamie’s enthusiasm for the topic is apparent right from the beginning. She provides practical, actionable tips on how to be a more effective lean leader. I just got started on the series today. Can’t wait to listen to the rest of her episodes.

    It’s all about IMPACT!
    Jamie provides usable tips that will impact how you can improve your influence. These little nuggets are easily shareable too!
  • Callmeishi
    Practical and personal
    Love Jamie’s energy, her stories and the practical application of the podcast. You can hear her care and love for the work of continuous improvement coming through the speakers. If your a manager you need to take 15 minutes every week to listen.
