episode 99 - the word is chipper

What Have You Got to Be Chipper About?

Can something as simple as being chipper be a superpower for leaders?

In this penultimate episode of the season, I discuss the contagious power of mood. Being chipper, in the grounded, optimistic sense, isn’t just about cheerfulness; it’s about setting the tone, creating psychological safety, and unlocking creativity in teams during complex times.

You’ll find out why upbeat leaders inspire real hope (not false positivity), learn how to avoid toxic cheerfulness and stay authentic and take away two practical ways to regulate your own mood and lead with energy.
