Interview with Sara Schaeffer

Guest bio:

Sara Schaeffer is the creator of Practice Your Positive and Team Positive, high-energy programs that help leaders and teams build trust, resilience, and real connection fast.

A former championship boxer who rebuilt her life after a devastating flood, Sara now works with organizations to turn pressure and change into momentum, using shared experiences that boost performance and protect against burnout.

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.
