On our newest episode we get up close and personal with an exercise created by social scientist, author and speaker Alison Fragale. Fragale has written a great book, How to be a Likeable Badass.

We took the challenge, listen now to hear how it went for us. https://bit.ly/439ay7p

Hope is often dismissed as fluffy sentiment, but is actually a powerhouse for transformation—especially in the workplace. Unlike optimism, which passively assumes everything will turn out fine, hope is active, intentional, and rooted in the belief that our actions can shape the future. It’s the antidote to despair, the spark that turns possibility into reality.

Our new episode on hope drops this week. We will talk all about hope, how it differs from optimism, how it impacts our work and our future.
