#481 Positivity That Works: How to Lead, Last, and Lift Your Team Up | Sara Schaeffer

Published on: 23/09/2025

3 big ideas discussed in this episode: BIG IDEA #1: Positivity isn’t a mood, it’s a muscle. The more you practice positivity, the more it carries you (and your team) through tough seasons without losing momentum. BIG IDEA #2: The squeeze is inevitable, but burnout isn’t. When you’re caught between big goals and client relationships, or between work demands and your home life, the pressure can drain your energy fast. Practicing positivity gives you the reset you need to stay sharp, engaged, and leading at your best. BIG IDEA #3: Culture changes through shared experience, not emails. The quickest way to build trust, alignment, and commitment is to put people in the same room, working toward something that matters, and letting them win together.

With insight into both internal dynamics and external forces, they’re uniquely positioned to apply systems thinking and guide organizations through change.
