Episode Description
The Thanksgiving holiday is a great time to remind ourselves of the importance of practicing gratitude across our lives including in business and leadership. Living and working from a place of gratitude allows us to appreciate our colleagues, team, and clients – and also recognize and acknowledge who they are and what they do. Expressing how people enrich our lives and contribute their efforts to power an organization forward is an essential life skill that improves greatly with practice. Employee engagement research tell us that most people crave being valued and appreciated in the workplace – in fact, it’s often the number one driving factor to engagement and performance. So, looking for ways to incorporate a gratitude approach to living, working, and leading is what this show is all about.
