Positive Leadership
Positive Leadership has the power to change the world. By focusing on trust, empathy, authenticity and deep collaboration, leaders can energize their teams to achieve success for individuals, their organizations, and society as a whole. Yet, it remains relatively unknown outside positive psychology and neuroscience circles.
Join Jean-Philippe Courtois, former member of the Microsoft senior leadership team alongside Satya Nadella and co-founder of Live for Good, as he brings Positive Leadership to life for anyone in a leadership capacity—both personally and professionally. With help from his guests, Jean-Philippe explores how purpose-driven leaders can generate the positive energy needed to drive business success, individual fulfillment, and societal impact across a range of industries—from technology and social enterprise to sports and coffee.
Most importantly, you’ll learn practical tips to apply in your own life—so you can start making a positive difference in the world.

Leading with Purpose: Profit, People, and the Planet (with Fabio Barbosa)
In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Fabio Barbosa, one of Brazil’s most respected business leaders and a true pioneer in purpose-driven leadership.
From transforming Banco Real into a sustainability leader to his work at Natura &Co—one of the world’s largest B Corps—Fabio has consistently shown that it’s not only possible but essential to align profit with positive impact.
We talked about his deep-rooted belief that business must serve society, his vision for regeneration in the Amazon, and the power of diversity in improving decision-making.
🎧 In this conversation, we cover:
- The early experiences that shaped Fabio’s leadership values
- How he brought social and environmental priorities into the heart of banking
- Natura’s bold commitment to forest preservation and community empowerment in the Amazon
- What it means to be a B Corp at scale—and how it changes the way you lead
- Why diversity drives better business decisions
- And his message for the next generation of positive leaders
I left this conversation full of energy and inspiration—and I’m sure you will too.
