PositiveMinds: A Light on the Journey of Growth

Rooted in clarity. Powered by positivity.

Welcome to PositiveMinds. I’m Adama Coulibaly—or as many of you know me, Coul (learn more about me here). At PositiveMinds, we aim to build a space for thoughtful reflection, practical wisdom, and shared experiences. We believe in facing life’s challenges with calm, clarity, and intention.

We are a growing community of people who value inner balance, emotional strength, and the power of perspective.

Why PositiveMinds Was Created

It began on March 16, 2020. A colleague—let’s call her Coumba—came into my office, visibly unsettled. I asked gently, “What’s wrong, Coumba?” She hesitated.

The tension in the air was familiar. The COVID-19 pandemic had started spreading fear and uncertainty everywhere. Like many others, Coumba was carrying more than she could express.

That moment inspired me to do something—to offer light instead of fear. I started the Positive Thinking series, drawing on a quote I’ve always found powerful:

“A person is but the product of their thoughts; what they think, they become.” — Mahatma Gandhi

What started as a small effort to shift the mood grew into a deeper project: a space for reflection, grounded thinking, and shared humanity.

What We Stand For

At PositiveMinds, we believe:

  • That perspective matters more than pressure

  • That stories help us understand ourselves and each other

  • That leadership can be calm, steady, and purposeful

  • That positivity is not about pretending everything is fine—it’s about finding strength in what is real and true

This is not about blind optimism. It’s about thoughtful clarity. It’s about choosing how we show up—in life, in work, and in community.
