What's the difference between recruiting people with sizzle and attracting them with steak when 73% of CEOs cite talent attraction as their top challenge? Transform your approach from filling positions to magnetizing top performers on this milestone 150th episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Drawing from insights shared on his recent LinkedIn Live event, Dr. Joey reveals five proven strategies that create authentic cultures where the best talent wants to work. Listen as Dr. Joey explores:

☀️ Why thinking future-back creates clarity that attracts visionary talent ☀️ How personality intelligence helps you attract the right cultural fits ☀️ The five C's of trust that naturally draw top performers to your team ☀️ Why results-only work environments break free from time tyranny ☀️ How social capital opens and keeps the front door open for engagement

Dr. Joey transforms how leaders think about talent by proving that authentic "really real" cultures attract naturally while recruitment requires selling people on hoped-for realities.

🔑 Key Insight: "The real deal culture is genuinely magnetized to due north and readily evident to everyone. This 'really real' culture attracts top talent with the steak instead of selling them on the 'hoped for' culture sizzle."

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.

☀️ 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

How do you break free from the false choice between focusing on profits versus people and create a work environment where both thrive together? Transform toxic team dynamics into human-centered success on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette.

What would happen if you stopped talking to yourself like your worst enemy and started giving yourself permission to lead from the inside out? Transform your inner critic into your greatest coach on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Robyn White, author and creator of the Boss Yourself First movement, reveals the three life-changing permissions that help leaders feel, fail, and fly on their path to success. Listen as Dr. Joey and Robyn explore:

☀️ Why leadership always starts as an inside job with yourself first ☀️ How to partner with your feelings instead of avoiding them ☀️ The difference between permission and permissiveness in culture ☀️ Simple ways to turn dreaded conversations into energizing connections ☀️ Why staying in your zone beats staying in your seat

Robyn transforms how leaders approach difficult conversations and team development by proving that the best way to lead others starts with how you lead yourself.

🔑 Key Insight: "It's a dynamic relationship - the company's gonna grow, the people are gonna grow. You gotta give permission to adjust so that everyone can stay in their zone, not necessarily in their seats."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Ask yourself and your team this powerful question: "What permission is needed here?" Then apply the three permission principles: approach, adjust, and act.
