                                              Welcome back, Let's Talk Sales listeners! In honor of the upcoming holiday, we are re-airing a discussion on gratitude. We will be back after the holiday with more great conversations. Thanks for listening to Let's Talk Sales!

                                              Elizabeth is the Operations Officer and Senior Advisor at Criteria for Success, and is the regular host of Let's Talk Sales! Since she's usually doing the interviewing, we thought we'd switch things up and hear what she has to say as a guest. In her place as host was Rylan Sylvester, the Sales and Marketing Coordinator at CFS.

                                              We hope you enjoy our conversation on the practice of gratitude!

                                              • Why gratitude is as relevant and necessary as ever
                                              • Examples of how to form your own practice of gratitude
                                              • Why leaders especially should incorporate a practice into their work
                                              • The substantial personal, professional, and medical benefits of gratitude
