Ordinary Moments. Extraordinary Difference.
by Romie Montpeirous
What if changing the world started with how you return the grocery cart?
Better Than You Found It is not a book about perfection—it’s a guide to presence, integrity, and everyday impact. Leadership coach and operational strategist Romie Montpeirous invites readers to rediscover the power of small acts and intentional choices that make life, work, and relationships better.
Through honest storytelling, practical reflections, and real-life lessons from both the boardroom and everyday life, Romie shows that leadership isn’t reserved for titles or positions. It lives in the quiet moments—refilling the coffee pot, holding the elevator door, choosing to listen instead of react.
Each chapter blends personal insight with relatable analogies and timeless principles, reminding us that “the way you do anything is the way you do everything.” From confronting resistance and burnout to building emotional awareness and embracing imperfection, this book is a roadmap for anyone ready to lead with heart and leave a lasting mark—no matter how small the space or moment.
You’ll walk away with more than inspiration—you’ll leave with clarity, practical steps, and a new lens for everyday leadership.
Because when you choose to leave things, people, and places better than you found them, you don’t just improve the world around you.
You transform who you are within it.
