In today’s episode of The Art of Passive Income, Mark and Scott talk to Shawn Murphy from SwitchAndShift.com and author of The Optimistic Workplace: Creating an Environment That Energizes Everyone.
It’s Shawn’s business to help companies change their climate—what it feels like to work somewhere—so the focus is on the leader of that company, to create a positive experience by creating an optimistic workplace.

2 of the key steps in creating an optimistic workplace are:
- Having regular one-on-ones. Make sure everyone is clear on where you are going, your goals and priorities.
- Help individuals be better in life as well as work.
Can you apply these same principles to virtual assistants?
Listen in as Shawn answers that question and delves deep into creating an optimistic workplace!
