Episode 7 - Mindset

Welcome to a special Mindset Edition of the Vet’Ed Podcast. In this bite-sized episode, Steven Hermann reflects on leadership—not as a title, but as a practice rooted in mindset, trust, and accountability. He shares personal leadership lessons from three key experiences: working in a family grocery store, serving on a school board, and building the ProPartners Team.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• Leadership isn’t one thing—it depends, and it’s best thought of as a practice.
• Leadership takes different forms: structured roles (grocery store), collaborative influence (school board), and vision-driven growth (ProPartners).
• Empowerment and trust are essential—true leadership means trusting others and letting them grow.
• The one constant across all leadership experiences: accountability.
• A growth mindset (not ego or title) is what allows anyone to lead.

💡 Reflection Prompt: Steven challenges listeners to ask:
“What’s one small way you can practice leadership this week that aligns with your values, brings energy, and does some good?”
