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.

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.

In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Fabio Barbosa, one of Brazil’s most respected business leaders and a true pioneer in purpose-driven leadership. 

From transforming Banco Real into a sustainability leader to his work at Natura &Co—one of the world’s largest B Corps—Fabio has consistently shown that it’s not only possible but essential to align profit with positive impact. 

We talked about his deep-rooted belief that business must serve society, his vision for regeneration in the Amazon, and the power of diversity in improving decision-making. 

🎧 In this conversation, we cover: 

• The early experiences that shaped Fabio’s leadership values 
• How he brought social and environmental priorities into the heart of banking 
• Natura’s bold commitment to forest preservation and community empowerment in the Amazon 
• What it means to be a B Corp at scale—and how it changes the way you lead 
• Why diversity drives better business decisions 
• And his message for the next generation of positive leaders 

I left this conversation full of energy and inspiration—and I’m sure you will too.

This week on the Positive Leadership Podcast, I amjoined by Professor Durreen Shahnaz, a pioneering social entrepreneur, impact investor, and relentless advocate for women’s empowerment. 

From growing up in a post-war Bangladesh to becoming the first Bangladeshi woman on Wall Street, Durreen’s journey defies conventions. She left investment banking to join Grameen Bank, and went on to found Impact Investment Exchange (IIX)—home to the world’s first social stock exchange and the groundbreaking Women’s Livelihood Bond.

From transforming how business thinks about nature, to mapping the first global plan to reverse global warming, Paul Hawken has spent his life showing us that regeneration isn’t just possible — it’s already happening. 

As the author of landmark books like The Ecology of Commerce, Natural Capitalism, Drawdown, and Regeneration, and now Carbon: The Book of Life, Paul has inspired generations of leaders to see the economy not as something separate from nature — but as part of it. 

In this powerful episode, we explore how his vision has evolved from early entrepreneurship to global systems thinking — and what it truly means to lead for life in an age of crisis. 

💡 In this conversation, you’ll discover: 

• How listening — to people, places, and the planet — became one of Paul’s most transformative leadership practices. 
• What it takes to move from despair to agency, and how joy can become a regenerative force. 
• How leaders can reframe carbon, biodiversity, and business as interconnected pathways to prosperity. 
• The habits and mindsets that help sustain optimism after decades of environmental work. 

Throughout our dialogue, I was reminded of earlier conversations on this podcast —
👉 with Hannah Ritchie, who shared how data can fuel urgent optimism about the planet’s future: https://www.jpcourtois.com/podcast/not-the-end-of-the-world-with-hannah-ritchie 
👉 with John Elkington, whose Triple Bottom Line challenged business to account for people, planet, and profit: https://thepositiveleadershippodcast.buzzsprout.com/1798971/episodes/17471215-rethinking-capitalism-a-conversation-with-the-godfather-of-sustainability-with-john-elkington

Together, these conversations reveal a truth that Paul embodies: that regeneration begins not in policy or technology, but in perspective — in the decision to see life as our ultimate stakeholder. 

🎧 Tune in to this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast to hear Paul Hawken’s extraordinary journey — and his call to all of us to answer the question he once asked graduates: “What is the Earth asking of you?”

Quand une économiste, universitaire et diplomate devient l'une des figures incontournables de la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique... C’est le parcours exceptionnel de Laurence Tubiana, pionnière de la politique environnementale mondiale et aujourd’hui Présidente de la Fondation Européenne pour le Climat, et l’une des architectes de l’Accord de Paris, un moment historique. Laurence nous dévoile d’ailleurs dans cet épisode quelques secrets qui ont permis d’aboutir à cette signature en 2015. 

Née à Oran en Algérie et rapatriée en France à l’âge de 11 ans, Laurence a su imposer une vision forte et engagée sur la scène internationale, avec toujours des qualités indéniables d’empathie.  

Alors que la COP 29 s'ouvre en Azerbaïdjan, revenons aux racines du moment le plus marquant de l’histoire des COP, l’Accord de Paris.

L’IA, la course au succès, l'« éloge de l'échec » parfois hypocrite, l’enfance dans un pays en guerre, les études parfois peu passionnantes avant de trouver sa voie… Dans l’épisode d’aujourd’hui, Albert Moukheiber, jeune psychologue clinicien et neuroscientifique né au Liban, s’exprime sans langue de bois et affirme un point de vue honnête, tout sauf naïf, sur la psychologie, la positivité et l’esprit critique. 

Une vraie bulle de bonheur et d’inspiration.

What if the biggest risk in leadership wasn’t failure — but success that blinds us to change? 

In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I had the great pleasure of welcoming Rita McGrath, one of the world’s most influential voices on strategy and innovation. A professor at Columbia Business School and author of The End of Competitive Advantage, Discovery-Driven Growth, and Seeing Around Corners, Rita has transformed how leaders think about disruption, renewal, and adaptability. 

Together, we explore how to spot inflection points before they upend your business, why discovery-driven learning is the antidote to overconfidence, and how purpose and curiosity can keep teams resilient in uncertain times. Rita also shares a warning for today’s executives: when companies rush to go fast and big in complex environments — without room to test and learn — it’s almost always a recipe for disaster. 

From AI and education to human adaptability and leadership humility, this conversation will change the way you think about strategy in a world where advantage is always transient. 

🎧 Listen now — and discover why I believe that good strategy isn’t about predicting the future, but about preparing to learn from it.

“Failure is not an option”, “success is key”… Have you often heard those types of “encouragements” from coaches, parents, teachers or your boss?  

Yet, who has never failed? 

And more importantly, isn’t it counter-productive to deny failure?  

Today, I am glad to share a different and much more efficient conception as I received Amy Edmondson in the podcast as she just launched her new book “Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well”. 

My discussion with her echoed the episode with Dorie Clark onthe concept of “Reinventing yourself”. You can find it here: https://thepositiveleadershippodcast.buzzsprout.com/1798971/15190709-reinventing-yourself-with-dorie-clark

Summer is here… This is a time when the world slows down, offering us the perfect opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. But I truly believe it’s also the ideal moment to reset our minds as well as our bodies. And both can be reached through one beautiful summer activity: laziness.

While we often acknowledge that taking pauses can make us more efficient, we frequently forget to practice this in our daily lives. You know it, I know it, and many great minds have expressed the profound benefits of idleness.

So here's a special summer episode full of references, advice, and testimonies from my previous guests to help you achieve your summer objective: dare to be lazy!
