What if embracing gratitude could transform not just your personal life, but your professional world too? Join us as we chat with Steve Foran, an electrical engineer who turned his career towards advocating for grateful leadership. Together, we unravel our personal gratitude rituals—like my daily practice of sending out gratitude lists and Steve's habit of emailing his daily gratitudes. We explore the ripple effects that sharing gratitude can have, not only uplifting ourselves but also spreading positivity to those around us. 

We dive into how the simple act of recording gratitude can bolster personal growth and even reshape our brains. I share my own journaling technique that follows a daily theme, while Steve and I discuss framing gratitude as both personal benefit and recognition of others' sacrifices. This dual perspective helps us appreciate our interconnections and the present moment. We also reflect on the challenges of weaving gratitude into the fabric of busy lives and workplaces, where it can enhance human connections and shift perspectives, ultimately creating a thriving workplace culture.

Finally, we talk about the role of gratitude in professional networking and the delicate balance between public expression and intimate sincerity. Sharing personal stories of vulnerability, including my own journey through loss and Steve's experiences with overcoming alcoholism, we underscore the courage required to share openly. Tune in to discover how gratitude can fortify bonds, encourage vulnerability, and offer insights into what truly matters, inspiring you to kickstart your own gratitude practice and make genuine connections in all areas of life.
