Like the slow formation of stalagmites in caves, meaningful personal growth and lasting change happen through small, consistent actions over time. "The Stalagmite Effect" reveals how tiny, deliberate steps can transform your life, career, and relationships. Drawing from her experience as an educator and advocate, O'Shea shares compelling stories and practical strategies for building your own "stalagmite" of achievement and helping others do the same. From dodging negative influences to embracing small victories, readers will discover how to harness the power of incremental progress. This book is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by big goals or discouraged by slow progress. Through relatable anecdotes and thoughtful reflection questions, O'Shea demonstrates that the most enduring transformations don't happen overnight-they're built drop by drop, day by day. Readers will learn to appreciate their unique journeys, measure success on their own terms, and create lasting positive impact through small, intentional actions.
