Ask yourself…
What makes you optimistic?
Welcome to our New Centre for Optimism Website

"At its simplest, optimism is an expectation that good things will happen and that things will work out in the end."
Victor Perton
The Centre for Optimism?
We ask "what makes you optimistic?”
We believe the times call for realistic and infectiously optimistic leaders. We are a movement supporting realistic and infectiously optimistic leaders to be beacons in the fog of pessimism and cynicism.
We believe the leader is the person in your mirror.
