- Liz Wiseman, author of Multipliers and Impact Players
I’m so impressed with this book! It’s as much about leadership as it how we show up daily in every day life. I love how you condensed the exercises in the back for those of us that read through the whole thing and want to go back and do the hard work after.

- Leslie Lauersdorf, Learning Director, VP
I'm incredibly proud of Spencer and everything he's achieved with this book. Spencer is a natural leader who doesn't just teach leadership, he lives it every day. His example has inspired me to reach new heights in my own professional career, and I'm grateful for the impact he's had on me. Small Things Make a Big Difference is inspiring, practical and a powerful reminder that extraordinary results come from the small, consistent actions we take every day. This isn't just a book you'll read; it's a book that will quietly raise your standards long after you've turned the final page.

- James Davies, author
Profoundly wise and straight from the heart, Spencer’s book is a magnificent modern-day
almanac, capturing the very spirit of what is great leadership. It guides you with parables,
research, and heartfelt insights to that wide, open field where leadership lives and breathes in
the small, everyday things we do as human beings

- Prof. Sudhanshu Palsule, Leadership Philosopher, Speaker, Author, and Coach

Leadership books often promise transformation, then give us a long list of things to do that we have to fit into our days. Spencer holt offers a much more useful approach: start small. Small Things Make a Big Difference is smart, funny, wonderfully personal, and packed with the kinds of ideas you will use before you forget where you put the book.

- Adrian Gostick, New York Times bestselling author of Leading with Gratitude and All In
Spencer Holt has a gift for making leadership feel human again. Small Things Make a Big Difference, doesn't ask readers to overhaul who they are. Instead, it shows them how small, consistent habits quietly build the kind of trust that changes lives. This is a book you'll underline, come back to again and again, and, most importantly, put into practice.

- Nate Randle, CEO of Greenix, board director
Holt successfully takes on the massive task of organizing the five basic pillars of strong, enduring leadership (of self, career, team, and entire organization) into a doable approach that sets the tone for life and career. Read it if you're just starting out as a young adult. Then make it part of your annual- or even quarterly- review how you're doing. And growing.

- Gary Ridge, Chairman Emeritus, WD-40 Company
The best kind of advice and coaching in the best kind of way. Through real life examples that aren't necessarily glamourous- but how it really happens. Diving into this books gives you the sense of how real transformation can happen. It helps you taste it. Now I just need to go put it into action. Thank you Spencer.
