In this episode, we dive deep into the world of optimism and its profound impact on our professional lives. We explore the Three Ps of Optimism - Personalisation, Permanence, and Pervasiveness - and how they shape our mindset, influence our approach to challenges, and pave the way for success and wellbeing at work.
Personalisation, the first P, teaches us to avoid excessive self-blame when faced with setbacks. We provide practical tips on self-awareness, self-compassion, seeking feedback, and focusing on our strengths to cultivate optimism.
Permanence, the second P, encourages us to see difficulties as temporary roadblocks rather than permanent failures. Discover how adopting a growth mindset, celebrating small wins, and setting realistic expectations can help maintain a positive outlook.
Pervasiveness, the third P, warns against letting negativity spill over into other areas of our lives. We offer insights on compartmentalisation, building support networks, creating work-life balance, practising self-care, and fostering a positive work environment.
By embracing the Three Ps of Optimism and following the practical advice shared in this episode, you'll learn how to navigate challenges with resilience, inspire those around you, and create a fulfilling and rewarding career.
Did you know you can measure your optimism? We discuss how you can find your optimism level compared to others globally and even partner with a Resilience Development Co. Coach to enhance your resilience, productivity, and overall wellbeing.
Join us on this journey to a more optimistic and successful professional life. Tune in now!

Spend minutes in Stuart Penn's company and you can't help feeling inspired, uplifted and motivated to step away from your comfort zone and try something new.
Born with only one fully formed limb, Stuart learnt from a young age that everything is possible but sometimes you have to think differently to find a way forward. His parents gave him the gift of space and time to figure things out for himself and told him if he wanted something badly enough, he'd find a way.
Listen to Stuart talk about his journey from a young boy with a badly fitting wooden leg to a world-class martial artist who describes his disability as his advantage. We talk about his work as a stuntman in Hollywood movies, inspirational speaking, running marathons and everything in between. His story is one of determination, resilience, tenacity and is unmissable.
Dreaming big is both good and bad advice. On the one hand, it's essential to know where you are going; on the other, it can lead to unrealistic expectations and disappointment later down the line.
This week I'm joined by grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Richard Bedford, exploring how he turned small dreams into a big one! Our conversation tracks his journey and the reality of starting in small bands and being told to get a "proper job" right through to singing in front of huge crowds worldwide with super DJ Armin Van Buuren.
This week I'm joined by Mark Gilroy, exploring whether positivity is always good. Our conversation peels back multiple layers of human behaviour and culture around optimism and a positive approach. Mark describes himself as a psychology geek, an executive coach, and the Managing Director of TMS Development International. This conversation is full of insight with lots to learn in it!
This week I'm joined by Sam Cox, an aspiring Polar Adventurer who joins me to talk about how he plans to complete the furthest ever solo unaided and unsupported traverse of the Antarctic. That's 1950km taking up to 80 days in temperatures as low as -40c. We talk about mental health, equipment and mindset. I hope you enjoy it.

It is candid, insightful and paired with his blog at https://www.resiliencetraining.co.uk/managing-life-transitions/
