Positive Leadership – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Pour célébrer les 10 ans de Live for Good, j’ai souhaité enregistrer un épisode très spécial du Positive Leadership Podcast.
J’y reçois deux entrepreneurs que j’admire profondément et qui incarnent, chacun à leur manière, l’esprit de notre communauté : Anne-Sophie Thomas, fondatrice de Gestia Solidaire, et Marius Hamelot, cofondateur du Pavé®. 

Depuis dix ans, avec Live for Good, nous soutenons une nouvelle génération de jeunes qui entreprennent pour le bien commun. Anne-Sophie et Marius en sont deux magnifiques exemples : 

• l’un transforme les déchets plastiques en matériaux innovants pour décarboner le secteur du bâtiment, 
• l’autre réinvente l’accès au logement abordable pour les publics qui n’ont souvent aucune solution dans le parc privé. 

Avec eux, je reviens sur leurs déclics, leurs missions personnelles, les obstacles des débuts, la puissance de l’accompagnement, leurs modèles d’impact, leurs engagements citoyens et leur vision d’un leadership authentique et positif. 
Ils nous partagent aussi leurs plus grandes fiertés… et leur vision du futur, pour 2030 et au-delà. 

🎧 Et pour prolonger l’inspiration, je vous recommande également : 

• mon échange avec Laurence Tubiana, pour comprendre comment naissent les grandes transformations collectives : https://www.jpcourtois.com/fr/podcast/fr-le-courage-du-changement-avec-laurence-tubiana  
• l’épisode avec Daniel Goleman, sur les compétences émotionnelles au cœur du leadership moderne : https://www.jpcourtois.com/podcast/optimizing-your-performance-with-emotional-intelligence-with-daniel-goleman  
• ma discussion avec Lucie Basch, fondatrice de Too Good To Go, pour découvrir comment elle a transformé le gaspillage alimentaire en opportunité et construit une entreprise sociale rentable grâce à l’énergie positive : https://www.jpcourtois.com/fr/podcast/fr-construire-une-entreprise-pour-un-monde-meilleur-avec-lucie-basch
• et ma discussion avec Paul Hawken, qui explore comment la régénération peut devenir un nouveau modèle de société: https://www.jpcourtois.com/podcast/paul-hawken----regenerating-the-world-one-idea-at-a-time 

Cet épisode est un hommage à dix années d’engagement, d’audace et d’impact partagé. 
Merci à Anne-Sophie, à Marius… et à toutes celles et ceux qui font vivre la mission de Live for Good depuis 10 ans.

In this episode, I speak with Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, global leadership expert, Thinkers50 Hall of Famer, and a pioneer of gender-balanced and age-ready organizations. 

We explore her unique journey across cultures, what she’s learned from advising leaders on four continents, and why cultural and contextual awareness is now essential for anyone leading across genders, generations — and even within couples. 

Avivah also shares why longevity will redefine careers, how companies can prepare for 100-year lives, and what positive leaders should focus on as AI, geopolitics, and demographics reshape the future of work. 

A sharp, inspiring conversation on building more balanced, human-centered organizations.

Et si le pouvoir de transformer notre système alimentaire se trouvait… dans notre caddie ? 

Dans cet épisode du Positive Leadership Podcast, je reçois Nicolas Chabanne, fondateur de C’est qui le Patron ?!, la "marque du consommateur" qui a redonné du pouvoir à des millions de citoyens pour mieux rémunérer les producteurs. 

Avec honnêteté et conviction, Nicolas revient sur son parcours atypique, son engagement en faveur d’une consommation solidaire, et sa volonté de faire de l’agriculture une grande cause nationale. Ensemble, nous abordons : 

• Comment les consommateurs peuvent soutenir les agriculteurs en orientant leurs choix d’achat, 
• Pourquoi il a cédé toutes ses actions à une fondation pour préserver l’indépendance du projet, 
• Le sens du leadership collectif et les défis d’une économie plus juste. 

Une conversation qui réconcilie valeurs, action concrète et espoir.

He also learned some valuable tips about creating stronger, more authentic relationships with teams, even when delivering negative feedback.

And finally, he had the opportunity to do the Reflected Best Self Exercise with Kim, which involved hearing from significant people in his life about times when he had a positive impact on them.

It takes real courage to be purpose-driven leader, who ensures that their team and company has a Net Positive impact on the world. 

So how can we be courageous leaders? 

This episode’s guest, Paul Polman, is the perfect person to help us answer this question.

Not only has Paul recently written a book about it, but he has also demonstrated immense courage himself – such as when he launched the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan to decouple the company's growth from its environmental impact.

Tune in to hear all the advice he shared with JP.

Welcome back to a brand new season of the Positive Leadership Podcast! We are kicking off with someone JP knows very well: Herminia Ibarra – academic, thought leader and author.
