Founder of The Positive Consultant and curator of DisruptHR Austin, Melinda promotes the \u201cinfinite power of positivity,\u201d consulting with individual organizations and extending her reach as the force behind DisruptHR Austin, where she builds programs such as the 2025 theme, Envision, Empower, Elevate, helping people thrive in the workplace. I also learned about PechaKucha, a Japanese storytelling format built around the idea of \u201ctalk less, show more.\u201d At DisruptHR, this translates into speakers having just 5 minutes, with 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. No stress there. With her focus on pausing, reflecting, reframing, and resetting, Melinda reminded me that there is usually a gift in the negative. You might not see it right away, but look no further than the Odyssean journey at the center of our best stories. There has to be some pain along the way. Please join me in welcoming Melinda Stallings to the Work 20XX Podcast. Editor\u2019s Note: Recorded 2025-April-30 at the Running Remote conference in Austin, Texas. Special thanks to Liam, Egor, Ana, and Team Running Remote.
