Leading With Heart Instead of Hustle: How Servant Leadership Transforms Business with Trevor

“Putting yourself in the other person’s shoes is the root of good leadership.”

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to lead with a servant’s heart rather than simply drive toward profit? What if your business could impact people deeply—your team, your customers, yourself—and ripples would last far beyond every deal or quarterly report?

In this episode Steve Ramona sits down with TREVOR MERRIDEN, UK executive coach, storyteller, and servant‐leader who has built a career around what many ignore: listening, empathy, and the courage to be authentic. Trevor traces his roots from journalism, where he first learned the power of seeing through another’s eyes, to coaching emerging leaders across styles, strengths, and insecurities. He tackles imposter syndrome, the shift from command‑and‑control to collaborative leadership, and how storytelling isn’t just padding—it’s foundational.

You’ll hear how Trevor helped “Fred,” a newly promoted leader, find his own voice, confidence, and leadership style, learning to serve rather than dominate. You’ll discover the three compass points for business purpose—why, who, what—and why your own internal confidence matters more than you think.

If you are building a business, leading people, or just trying to show up with integrity in your work, this is your invitation to lead differently. To listen well, to serve first, and to find the confidence that already lives inside you.

P.S. Start small—look for one moment today to serve, one question to listen, one story to share. Those are the moments that begin real transformation.
