As the world becomes increasingly more challenging, two forces offer a way to create rays of light, positivity, and belonging - gratitude and giving.
We have all had moments, especially in the last few years, where we may feel like something is lacking, get lost in all the negative news and events, or get so wrapped up in the busyness of life that all the good deeds and intentions we had planned get left to the wayside.
Both gratitude and giving have proven impact to wellbeing, resilience, fulfillment, and performance. Gratitude gives us perspective as it encourages us to look at situations more broadly. Giving is not only great for the people you help, but actually impacts your brain! Neuroscience shows us that giving is powerful in creating more personal joy, improving overall health, and even combating stress - and who doesn’t want some of that!
Together, they can help you forge a meaningful and well-lived life, create better connections and a higher sense of belonging, and create moments that live beyond you to strengthen the world.
Join us as we openly and candidly explore and discuss:
The science behind gratitude and giving
The impact to wellbeing, engagement, and performance
How any person, team, or organization can get involved, even with limited resources
Join this diverse group of leaders, on November 16th, 9-9.30am PT, who will bring their perspectives and experiences from the lens of social impact, executive leadership and science, to explore and discuss the power of gratitude and giving!
