The Power of Optimism
Manage episode 374350929 series 3313315
In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about the power of optimism. This week, I welcome back Moshe Cohen, a lecturer, coach, mediator, and expert on negotiation. He is also the author of two books on optimism, which we dig into more deeply in this conversation. Moshe shares his own journey with optimism and the benefits he has experienced as a result. We also explore the connection between optimism and empowerment. And we discuss steps you can take to become more optimistic, particularly if it’s not something that comes naturally to you today.
