Toxic Positivity in the Workplace: When Good Vibes Go Too Far

🧠 Toxic Positivity at Work? Let’s Talk About It.

In this episode of 3 Minute Brief, we’re calling out a silent culture killer: toxic positivity—that well-meaning, but ultimately harmful habit of replacing real conversations with relentless optimism.

You’ll learn:

✔️ What toxic positivity looks like in day-to-day workplace dynamics

✔️ Why it can destroy trust, morale, and psychological safety

✔️ How to replace surface-level “good vibes” with authentic leadership and support

Because sometimes, “just staying positive” isn’t helpful—it’s dismissive.

🎯 Whether you're a leader, HR pro, or frontline team member, this 3-minute leadership boost will give you the tools to create a workplace that’s positive and real.
