Welcome to Office Therapy with Dr. Brad Shuck — a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most at work and in life.

In this episode, Brad explores what it really means to lead with hope in a time when so many are feeling the weight of uncertainty and exhaustion. Drawing on the research of psychologist C.R. Snyder and insights from Harvard Business Review, he unpacks the structure of hope — goals, pathways, and agency — and how each plays a role in building resilience, trust, and meaning in the workplace.

Hope, Brad reminds us, isn’t naïve optimism. It’s courage in motion — the quiet belief that our efforts today can make tomorrow a little better. Through reflection and practical examples, he shows how small acts of recognition, gratitude, and purpose can turn a ripple of hope into a wave of renewal across teams and organizations.

Because when leaders choose hope, they don’t just inspire — they create the conditions for people to thrive.
