The Power of One: How One Teacher Can Change a Life | Epi 10

Teachers often never see the full impact of their work. Beyond grades and test scores lies a deeper influence—one that shapes confidence, purpose, and identity. In this episode, host Cathy Tooley reconnects with her former student, Amber Fields, now a Partner and Chief Culture Officer helping organizations develop their people. Their conversation, “The Power of One: How One Teacher Can Change a Life,” explores how belief, encouragement, and authentic connection can unlock potential that lasts decades.

Amber shares how Cathy once “spoke belief” into her at a time when she didn’t believe in herself—what she now calls “borrowed belief.” That same principle guides her leadership today, showing how early mentorship translates into lifelong impact. Together, they uncover how small moments of affirmation can ripple across generations, shaping not just students but the future leaders they become.
