by Susan Stutzel | September 8, 2025 | Business, Leadership, Personal Management
A positive attitude isn’t about ignoring challenges or pretending everything’s perfect. It’s about choosing how you show up. It’s the willingness to collaborate, encourage, and uplift those around you. And it’s contagious: positivity spreads faster than any memo.
When you bring optimism to your work, you don’t just improve your own experience – you elevate the entire team. You become the person people want on their project, in their meeting, or at their lunch table.
So this week, try this:
- Smile more, even on Zoom.
- Say thank you – often.
- Look for solutions, not just problems.
- Be the reason someone else has a better day.
