"What makes me optimistic? Being alive, my wife's infectious smile, my son's tenacity, generous-spirited people, gratitude both personal and as I see in others, people who have overcome adversity, intelligence used to benefit others, the absence of greed, optimism of others, those who accept personal responsibility, acts of goodwill and good faith."

That's what Malcolm Deery told me when I asked him what makes him optimistic.

Malcolm Deery is the Managing Director of [Designed Culture](https://www.linkedin.com/company/designed-culture/) with a wealth of life experience and leadership roles.

What makes you optimistic?
