In episode #138, I chat with Dr. Todd Fiore about how one slight pivot with your research question can lead to many positive outcomes.

Todd is the Program Chair for the PhD in Organizational Development and Leadership, University of Arizona Global Campus.

Highlights:

· Research framed positively tends to result in more practical, solutions-oriented outcomes.

· Positive research questions make it easier to recruit participants and encourage openness in data collection because participants may be more willing to engage when research focuses on positive practices rather than negative issues.

· A positive approach can reduce challenges with IRB approval, particularly for sensitive topics like trauma.

· Reframing helps novice researchers avoid injecting personal bias into their work - the dissertation is an academic product, not an advocacy project, and should be balanced and unbiased.

· Focusing solely on problems in research can lead to emotional burnout; positive framing keeps the research journey lighter.

· “Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results” – a guiding philosophy for research success.
