What lasting impact will you leave behind when you walk away from work? How do you show up authentically in spaces where you might be the only one who looks like you? What does it mean to be too old in your career to fake who you are just to fit a culture that doesn't align with your values?

Transform your understanding of legacy leadership on this powerful episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette and DeWayne Allen. DeWayne brings decades of aerospace and defense leadership experience, guiding multi-billion dollar growth initiatives while staying grounded in the wisdom his grandfather passed down about education, integrity, and never forgetting where you came from. Listen as DeWayne explores:

☀️ How a grandfather's rough hands and powerful message shaped a leadership legacy

☀️ Why authentic leaders can't afford to fake it in today's work culture

☀️ The 5 Bs framework: Be prepared, be on time, be inquisitive, be impactful, be yourself

☀️ How to maximize every team member's unique superpower instead of forcing conformity

☀️ Why clarity at the start and appreciation at the end create unstoppable momentum

DeWayne transforms how leaders think about culture by proving that positivity must be a force multiplier, not just a nice idea, and that high performance requires high-performing behaviors from everyone.

🔑 Key Insight: "Start with clarity and end with appreciation. Clarity is: where are we, what are we doing, are we clear on where we're going, do we understand what good looks like? And at the end, show appreciation: 'I really appreciate how you approached this problem in a very positive manner.' People see it, people hear it, people feel it, and they're gonna remember it."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): At your next team meeting or project kickoff, start with crystal clear expectations. Then at the end of the day or project milestone, call out specific behaviors you appreciated. Make clarity and appreciation your bookends for every important interaction this week.

Dr. Joey transforms how leaders think about performance by proving that when you focus on people first, peak performance follows naturally.

🔑 Key Insight: "Traditional performance management is backwards. Instead of trying to extract performance from people, successful people leaders create conditions from which extraordinary performance emerges."

How well do you really know the people you lead? What if each person on your team needs a completely different approach to thrive? Are you trying to make everyone take off like a helicopter when some need a three-mile runway? Transform your leadership effectiveness by discovering why painful levels of self-awareness unlock your ability to truly lead your people on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette and Cory Geffre. Cory brings over three decades of healthcare leadership experience, leading hospitals and large teams through transformation in one of the most complex industries on earth. Listen as Cory explores:

☀️ Why painful levels of self-awareness are the foundation of great leadership ☀️ How to create custom leadership roadmaps for the key people on your team ☀️ The game-changing practice of knowing each person's unique "cooling off period" ☀️ Why discipline and routine create space to manage chaos in unpredictable environments ☀️ The least selfish thing you can do: take care of yourself first so you can serve others better

Cory transforms how leaders think about their teams by proving that understanding each person's unique way of operating creates cultures where everyone can take off and soar.

🔑 Key Insight: "I have helicopters—do this tomorrow, lift off. And I have people who are like a 747—they need a 3-mile runway and clear skies to take off. My job is to know that so I can give them enough time to take off, because how quick they take off isn't as important as them just taking off."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Identify the cooling off period for each key person on your team. Who's a helicopter? Who needs a runway? Then adjust your follow-up timing accordingly. Stop expecting everyone to process feedback and take action at your pace.

What happens when you prioritize team chemistry over individual talent? How do you create a work culture where people feel safe enough to bring their authentic selves every single day? What's the difference between recognizing performance and appreciating the person? Transform your leadership approach and discover why vulnerability might be your greatest competitive advantage on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette and Mike Robbins. Mike brings over 25 years of experience helping world-class organizations like Google, Microsoft, and the NBA build high-performing teams rooted in trust, authenticity, and genuine connection. Listen as Mike explores:

☀️ Why caring about each other and the work creates the foundation for team success

☀️ How vulnerability in difficult conversations builds trust faster than perfection

☀️ The critical distinction between recognition (performance) and appreciation (people)

☀️ Why team chemistry often matters more than individual talent on high-performing teams

☀️ Simple ways to communicate authentic culture that attracts top talent naturally

Mike transforms how leaders think about team building by proving that when people feel valued as humans first, performance excellence follows naturally.

🔑 Key Insight: "There's a difference between recognition which is about performance and appreciation which is really about people. We can value and appreciate people all the time irrespective of performance. Letting people know that they're valued, they're seen, they're heard, they're cared about—that goes a long way."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Appreciate someone on your team today. Not for what they accomplished, but for who they are. Let them know they're valued, seen, heard, and cared about as a person.

How are you recognizing the people on your team—based on what YOU think they need, or what THEY actually want? What if the recognition you're giving is missing the mark entirely because you never asked? Transform your approach to appreciation and watch retention soar on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette and Dr. Meghan Waldron. Dr. Meghan brings her unique perspective from straddling K-12 education, higher education, and small business ownership to reveal why intentional recognition matters more than you think. Listen as Dr. Meghan explores:

☀️ Why relationships are the foundation of whether people stay or leave your organization ☀️ The hidden burnout epidemic facing educators and helping professionals today ☀️ How technology overload creates compassion fatigue even in passion-driven roles ☀️ The transformative power of asking people how they want to be recognized ☀️ Simple ways to differentiate appreciation just like great teachers differentiate learning

Dr. Meghan transforms how leaders think about employee recognition by proving that customized appreciation creates cultures where people truly belong and want to stay.

🔑 Key Insight: "I think it's really important to ask intentionally how people want to be recognized. A lot of times we think people want monetary recognition, more contracts, more responsibility. But their answers were things like: 'I just want a text to say that I'm doing a good job' or 'Can you just let me know that I'm on track.'"

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Ask each person on your team this week: "How do you prefer to be recognized for your contributions?" Then honor their answer. Stop assuming one-size-fits-all appreciation works.

How do you transform positivity from wishful thinking into a disciplined practice that carries you through losing two homes to hurricanes, two job layoffs, and still choose to move forward with resilience and joy?

Discover the actionable frameworks that turn positivity into momentum on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Sara Schaefer, founder of Practice Your Positive and creator of Team Positive, reveals how authenticity cuts through defensive bubbles and energy management becomes the real currency of effective leadership. Listen as Dr. Joey and Sara explore:

☀️ Why practicing positivity before you need it creates resilience during storms ☀️ How gamifying human connection breaks isolation and builds community ☀️ Simple ways authenticity creates psychological safety that transforms teams ☀️ Why admitting weakness as a leader actually brings strength and trust ☀️ How checking in on team energy reveals what people need to move forward

Sara transforms how leaders approach culture by proving that when you train positivity like athletes train performance through daily disciplines and small wins, you create capacity to handle whatever comes your way while choosing growth over darkness.

🔑 Key Insight: "Positivity is more about the capacity to handle what comes your way and still choose to move forward. It's not rose-colored glasses—it's resilience. I didn't make that choice one time; it's a choice I make again and again and again every morning."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Start your next meeting by asking each team member: "On a scale of 1-10, where's your energy today?" Then ask: "What would move you up one point?" Listen to what they need, and when possible, give it to them. This creates space for people to be realistic about where they are.
