| 8/13/26 | 0715: Focus on What's Right | Your brain is wired to notice problems, but constantly focusing on what's wrong can stall progress, exhaust leaders, and create a fearful salon or spa culture. In this episode, Kati explores the difference between pessimism, blind optimism, and realistic optimism—and shares how effective leaders face the facts, focus on what they can control, and believe improvement is possible. You'll learn how to interrupt negative thought patterns, recognize harmful "absolute language," celebrate meaningful wins, and expect solution-minded leadership from your team. Walk away with practical questions that will help you address challenges without allowing them to overshadow everything that's already going right.
