  • EP 149 | The Bravery Effect That Transforms Teams | Jill Schulman
    Aug 24 2025

    How do you build a work culture where people go home energized by the value they bring instead of depleted by the day they survived? Transform fear into courage and stress into accomplishment on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Jill Schulman, United States Marine Corps veteran, leadership consultant, and author of "The Bravery Effect," reveals how to create well-being within the work itself rather than trying to recover from toxic environments. Listen as Dr. Joey and Jill explore:

    ☀️ Why accomplishment drives happiness and well-being more than we realize ☀️ How to help people do really hard things while experiencing positive emotions ☀️ Simple ways to create value and feel valued in the flow of daily work ☀️ Why fear paralyzes talented people who otherwise know what to do ☀️ How asking for help accelerates your ability to accomplish brave goals

    Jill transforms how leaders think about workplace well-being by proving that the solution isn't more benefits and apps, but helping people accomplish meaningful work that energizes them.

    🔑 Key Insight: "I don't want people to go to work feeling like they're gonna suck the life out of me and then I go home depleted. I want them to feel energized by the value that they're bringing so they can go home and have that positive state."

    💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Think of your most challenging goal right now and be brave enough to ask for help. Find someone who has accomplished something similar and call them for advice. Don't try to figure it out on your own.

  • EP 148 | Hire for Learning Velocity Not Experience | Steve Cadigan
    Aug 17 2025

    What if the future of work isn't about replacing humans with AI, but about augmenting human potential to create unprecedented value and innovation? Discover how to build talent strategies for a rapidly evolving world on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Steve Cadigan, LinkedIn's first CHRO and author of "Workquake," reveals how the most successful organizations are shifting from hiring for what people know to what they can learn. Listen as Dr. Joey and Steve explore:

    ☀️ Why augmented intelligence releases human potential instead of replacing it

    ☀️ How to build work environments that expect shorter tenure but deeper impact

    ☀️ Simple ways to shift from developing companies to developing people

    ☀️ Why the architecture of traditional work is broken for today's change pace

    ☀️ How to attract talent by becoming the best job they've ever had

    Steve transforms how leaders think about the future of work by proving that in a world changing at unprecedented speed, your competitive advantage is new people with new ideas solving problems in new ways.

    🔑 Key Insight: "Talent today is more loyal to learning than they are to companies. If you can grow them, develop them, make them better and offer them career security instead of job security, you create sustainable competitive advantage."

    💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Have conversations with people on your team asking "How can I help you get to wherever it is that you want to go?" Start caring about their entire career, not just when they work for you.

  • EP 147 | Character Leadership That Attracts Top Talent | Alison C. Jones
    Aug 10 2025

    How do you build a work culture where character becomes the root system that naturally produces authentic behaviors and attracts the best people to your team? Transform leadership from the inside out on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Alison C. Jones, sustainable leadership expert, organizational psychologist and author of "Character Leadership," reveals how developing your character foundation creates sustainable cultures where both people and performance thrive. Listen as Dr. Joey and Alison explore:

    ☀️ Why character traits must be rooted deep to produce lasting behaviors ☀️ How the Five A's create sustainable leadership transformation ☀️ Simple ways to weave appreciation into your culture's fabric ☀️ Why abundance mindset energizes teams while scarcity kills momentum ☀️ How character-based cultures attract and retain top talent naturally

    Alison transforms how leaders think about sustainable leadership by proving that when you become someone with strong character traits, authentic behaviors flow naturally and create winning organizations.

    🔑 Key Insight: "If you have an orange tree, it is an orange tree at its roots. You can try to staple apples onto that tree, but they're going to rot and fall off if it's not coming from the roots."

    💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Start practicing specific appreciation daily. Thank someone for what they did, how they did it, and the specific impact it had. Encourage your team to do the same with each other.
