OVERVIEW & PURPOSEIn my last edition of the Lead Grow Innovate Podcast. I spoke about finding ways to be positive in life and how we as leaders often need to find the silver linings for ourselves and our teams. Today I would like to expand on some of the subject matter of last week and introduce 7 Positive phrases you may be using wrong.
