Steve Foran and Darin are on a parallel journey to explore research and increase the conversation about gratitude at work and help people move from surviving to thriving. Steve has written the book about it! “Surviving to Thriving: The 10 Laws of Grateful Leadership.” Steve has a big dream! Make 1 billion people happier! He began exploring the relationship between gratitude and philanthropic giving while completing his Masters at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Since then, he’s been writing, conducting gratitude research, and teaching the habits of gratefulness for close to fifteen years now. In 2017, he was awarded Canada’s highest earned designation in professional speaking. He recently created STATUSGRO to give everyone easy on-line access to the secrets of gratitude and thriving leadership. He is a lifelong resident of Halifax, Nova Scotia, our first Canadian guest.
