The Positive Energy Workplace

You have something you really want to do in your organization. Or with your partner. Or in your life.

But there's a quiet fear that they just aren't going to go for it.

And you really want it. You know in your heart of hearts that this is important. What do you do?

Shut it down before it's even started, blame it on the infamous "they" for not letting you be fabulous, and let it go? OR get in there, face it head on, and make it happen?

If you're doing it for the right reasons and your leadership wisdom is taking you there--yeah--you get in there.
