Description

Positive Leadership has the power to change the world. By focusing on trust, empathy, authenticity and deep collaboration, leaders can energize their teams to achieve success for individuals, their organizations, and society as a whole. Yet, it remains relatively unknown outside positive psychology and neuroscience circles.


Join Jean-Philippe Courtois, former member of the Microsoft senior leadership team alongside Satya Nadella and co-founder of Live for Good, as he brings Positive Leadership to life for anyone in a leadership capacity—both personally and professionally. With help from his guests, Jean-Philippe explores how purpose-driven leaders can generate the positive energy needed to drive business success, individual fulfillment, and societal impact across a range of industries—from technology and social enterprise to sports and coffee.


Most importantly, you’ll learn practical tips to apply in your own life—so you can start making a positive difference in the world.

One of the most outstanding arcade rounds of its time Tekken 3 is currently accessible on the android stage. Its designer Namco didn't initially send off the versatile application rendition. However, you can still download it from an APK file and play it with ease using an external or built-in phone emulator. https://tekken3.vip/
