#43 Balancing Optimism

Optimism fuels motivation, fosters resilience, and inspires innovation. On the other hand, realism encourages prudent decision-making and helps you and your team manage expectations. Can you be enthusiastic and realistic at the same time? And be yourself? Yes, you can, and I’ll help you prepare to be optimistic when coaching your team. I’m not going to tell you to fake it until you make it, either. I’ll be realistic about what you can say to cheer on your team and yet remain true to yourself, to your personality and conscience.
