In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we explore the subtle damage gossip can cause—and why great leaders lead with positivity and presence.

A few cynical comments may seem harmless, but over time, they chip away at trust and morale. As psychotherapist David Lieberman reminds us, negativity reflects ego, while positivity signals humility and strength.

This episode challenges us to watch our words, model respect, and build a culture people actually want to be part of.

Lastly, we’re inviting your feedback on this new audio initiative. Do you prefer multiple stories in one episode each week, or shorter, single-story episodes each day? Share your thoughts in the episode’s comments or message us directly at [email protected].
