<p><a href="https://simonsinek.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Simon Sinek</a> is an optimist, bestselling author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Start-Why-Leaders-Inspire-Everyone/dp/1591846447" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><em>Start with Why</em></a>, and founder of The Optimism Company.</p><p>In this special episode of <em>Office Hours</em>, part of the <a href="https://globalgoals.org/behope/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Be Hope podcast takeover</a> during the United Nations General Assembly, Simon joins me to explore what optimism really requires. We discuss how optimism differs from hope, why relationships help us sustain a belief in a better future, how our expectations shape others, and why pessimism has become so powerful. We also explain how leaders can turn optimism into action through a clear vision, and how each of us can become more optimistic by creating space to imagine a better future and finding a vision worth pursuing.</p><p>—</p><p><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p>• <a href="https://noblemobile.com/arthurbrooks" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Noble Mobile</strong></a>—With Noble, there is only one plan: The No-Bull Plan.
