Episode description as stored
Simon Sinek is an optimist, bestselling author of Start with Why , and founder of The Optimism Company. In this special episode of Office Hours , part of the Be Hope podcast takeover during the United Nations General Assembly, Simon joins me to explore what optimism really requires. We discuss how optimism differs from hope, why relationships help us sustain a belief in a better future, how our expectations shape others, and why pessimism has become so powerful. We also explain how leaders can turn optimism into action through a clear vision, and how each of us can become more optimistic by creating space to imagine a better future and finding a vision worth pursuing. — Brought to you by: • Noble Mobile —With Noble, there is only one plan: The No-Bull Plan.
