How do you build a work culture where character becomes the root system that naturally produces authentic behaviors and attracts the best people to your team? Transform leadership from the inside out on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Alison C. Jones, sustainable leadership expert, organizational psychologist and author of "Character Leadership," reveals how developing your character foundation creates sustainable cultures where both people and performance thrive. Listen as Dr. Joey and Alison explore:

☀️ Why character traits must be rooted deep to produce lasting behaviors ☀️ How the Five A's create sustainable leadership transformation ☀️ Simple ways to weave appreciation into your culture's fabric ☀️ Why abundance mindset energizes teams while scarcity kills momentum ☀️ How character-based cultures attract and retain top talent naturally

Alison transforms how leaders think about sustainable leadership by proving that when you become someone with strong character traits, authentic behaviors flow naturally and create winning organizations.

🔑 Key Insight: "If you have an orange tree, it is an orange tree at its roots. You can try to staple apples onto that tree, but they're going to rot and fall off if it's not coming from the roots."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Start practicing specific appreciation daily. Thank someone for what they did, how they did it, and the specific impact it had. Encourage your team to do the same with each other.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
