Last week I did two CEO Summits - both on the topic of Positive Leadership! The heads were nodding and the people who attended thrilled. The time is right to teach our CEO's to create positive capacity in their organizations. I've been working with CEO's for over ten years and I have never seen them as receptive as they are now to this message. I'm one of the 1000 people originally trained by Marty Seligman in his Authentic Happiness Coaching program. I remember Marty saying once that it was his goal - and many of us took it on as well - to "raise the tonnage of happiness on the planet." I see it happening! Slowly perhaps - but happening nonetheless. Hey - what else does a business have left but the creativity, resilience and optimism of its people? The CEO can set the tone for all of that happening.

Since some CEO's are old and some young, I wonder if age is any predictor of success as well.
