The power of choosing optimism

#62: Some people profoundly affect us and in this episode I want to introduce you to one of those individuals in my life. He's a 3x New York Times best-selling author, the founder of a highly-respected consulting firm, and a friend. Tom Smith is the author of the phrase that I've told stories about previously, "optimism is a choice even when it can't be justified." Today I want you to meet an expert on accountability and a man profoundly affects everyone he interacts with for good.Connect with me on LinkedIn for daily videos and storiesConnect with me on Facebook Listen to my other podcast: Leading During Uncertainty: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/leading-during-uncertainty/id1503926389Visit my website or learn more about our firm, Partners In Leadership--About the podcast:Decide to Lead is a weekly leadership podcast.
