The Optimism Effect: Why Future Fit Leaders Radiate Belief and Possibility

What if optimism wasn’t just a personal trait, but a leadership strategy?

In this Spotlight episode, we’re joined by Victor Perton, founder and Chief Optimism Officer at the Centre for Optimism. Victor shares why declining optimism is one of the greatest public policy challenges of our time — and why the leaders of the future must be “magnetic optimists.”

He unpacks what it means to lead with infectious energy, how optimism builds trust, resilience, and innovation, and why every CEO should be asking their teams: “What makes you optimistic?”

A joyful, compelling conversation for every leader who wants to shape a better future — by starting with belief.
