What Gratitude Can Teach Us About the Power of Curiosity, Compassion, and Courage

Sometimes it's hard to find something good about leaders and leadership to talk about. And while we know recently in America there's loads to talk about from a leadership perspective, we decided to take a slightly different approach in this episode. In this season of thanks, we wanted to be very intentional about having a discussion about the importance of gratitude.

As one of our amazing colleagues, Pete Ronayne says, "Gratitude and gratitude giving is one of those key components of burning brighter in the face of all that burn out." And so in this conversation Ren and Allison focus on what they've been grateful for this year and the kind of leaders and leadership that has been out there that they felt proud of, because truthfully, there's more good out there. There's more of you doing good out there than not. So join us as we give some thanks, share some gratitude and discuss the importance of facilitating environments where we can be grateful and lead with that.
