Vision is the ability to talk about the future with such clarity it's as if we're talking about the past.
None of us can get through this (or anything else) alone. As social animals we need each other. When we find the courage to admit that we're struggling, ask for help or accept help when it is offered, we become stronger. It also opens a door for others to let us in to help them, too. The courage to go first then be there when others follow is what leadership is all about.
Hire people inspired to achieve something big over people who demand something big before they feel inspired.
Why We Need Each Other
I try, try, try and fail. Only then will I learn and improve the way to do things.
I go, go, go and trip. I stand up, brush off my knees, look back at what I tripped over so I know what to look out for in the future. Now I donāt have to trip over those things again.
I run faster and faster and faster, then miss my turn and have to go back and try again. But now I know what signs to look for to keep me moving in the right direction.
I go alone, alone, alone until I find someone on the same path and we decide to run together. I share all my falls, trips and missed turns so they can benefit from my effort. They tell me about all their falls, trips and missed opportunities so I can learn from their experiences.
Then together, we can run faster, straighter and more confidently to the place we want to go.

Every single day we have a chance to make those around us, and ourselves, better. It all comes down to caring about people so much that we're willing to get uncomfortable in order for them to grow. Let's show up for each other: https://bit.ly/39Necqk
Listening isnāt waiting for your turn to speak. Listening is the ability to make others feel heard. One of the ways to do that is to practice using these three statements when someone is telling you something:
āTell me more.ā
āGo on.ā
āWhat else?ā
If you try this, you will quickly learn how much effort it takes to pay attention to what the person youāre talking to is saying and resist the urge to interrupt, correct, or fix what they say.
And thatās why itās a skill. Because all skills take effort. And in this case, the effort is really worth it.

Layoffs arenāt strategy. Theyāre a symptom of a system thatās lost its heart.
Next week, A Bit of Optimism returns on Tuesday with a brand new episode featuring Bob Chapman, who has been the CEO of Barry-Wehmiller for more than 50 years. Heās the man who proved what Iāve been talking about for years isnāt just theory.
Bob built a global manufacturing company that never lays off employees and has so deeply woven the belief that people come first into his culture that its impact ripples out to families, communities, and the world. His philosophy of Truly Human Leadership shows that capitalism can be kind and still be financially successful.
This conversation is proof that empathy and business are not oppositesātheyāre the future.

When we vehemently disagree with people weāve never met, we can start to dehumanize them. See them as evil. The only way we can ever advance as a society is when we learn to see each other as human. Complex, messy humans. Thatās why we need Robin Steinbergās message! She understands compassion in a way few others do. As a career public defender and criminal justice reformer, she had to learn to see the humanity in people, even if they may have done horrible things. Iām so proud to publish The Courage of Compassion on Optimism Pressāitās a really important book. Link to preorder: getinspired.cc/3JH1Lhn

š” Trust is what happens between the meetings.
Not in the agenda. Not in the slides.
Itās built in the tiny momentsāthe hallway chats, the āhowās your dad doing?ā check-ins, the post-call laughs.
Thatās where culture quietly compounds.
Remote teams donāt get those moments by accident; you have to engineer them.
ā Create space for non-work huddles
ā Check in just to say hi
ā Celebrate people when no oneās asking you to
Because trust isnāt a value on the wall. Itās the feeling people have when the meetingās over.

Iāll never forget this talk. But what most people donāt know is how much I wish I had done differentlyāhow I couldāve managed my nerves, paced myself better, and handled the tech issues (my mic broke in the middle of the talk!).
Over the years, so many people have asked for advice on becoming a better public speaker.
So, I decided to gather everything Iāve learned since then and put it all in one place.

Previously on the pod...So many politicians say our children are our future, so why do so few nations have a cabinet level position to represent their youth? As the Minister of State for Youth Affairs for the United Arab Emirates, Shamma Al Mazrui is revolutionizing the dynamic between youth and government. At the age of 22, she became the youngest government minister in the world. Now, five years later, she has powerful insights to share about fostering a nationās youth, the power of listening, and the importance of hope. This is...A Bit of Optimism.
