Description

In this In the Moment mini-episode of What’s Possible, host Ilene Schaffer sits down again with Harry Hofer to explore an unconventional but powerful leadership idea: celebrating the word “no.”

Drawing from Blue Zones research on longevity and his own experience coaching high-performing teams, Harry explains why hearing “no” isn’t a setback, it’s a catalyst for growth. By reframing “no” as a positive, leaders can foster psychological safety, encourage innovation, and create cultures where employees push boundaries without fear.

Whether you’re a CEO, team leader, or coach, this short episode will change the way you think about rejection, and show you how embracing “no” can unlock new possibilities in your leadership and your organization.
