Why Everyone Needs a PAL: Bridging the Gap Between Leaders and Employees

Описание: "I love to have fun. I think that it's important and adults have stopped playing."

Today I am joined by Melinda Stallings, known widely as "The Positive Consultant." Melinda is on a mission to impact the world one individual at a time by helping people rediscover their internal greatness.

Together, we dive into:

The Power of Reframing: How to look for the "gifts" even in difficult business climates.

Disrupt HR Austin: What makes this event an "experience" rather than a conference, and how it connects professionals through high-energy storytelling.

The Leadership Gap: Why leaders and employees often lack a "shared language" after training, and how Melinda’s "PAL" (Positive Approach to Leadership) gamified course solves this.

Self-Reflection: The critical question every leader must ask themselves: "Would I follow me?".

Whether you are looking to bring a spark back to your organization or simply need a dose of encouragement, this episode is packed with wisdom, laughter, and positive energy.
