This month’s topic: Leading with Gratitude

Transforming holiday overwhelm into overjoy.

Here they come…the holidays! Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, St. Nicholas, Christmas, New Years and more! Not only are the holidays a time to spend with those we care about most, the holidays can also be a time when we find too much on already full personal and workplace plates. 

The antidote to a full plate is finding moments of reflection, gratitude and genuine connection with others that can transform overwhelm into overjoy. 

Research shows that gratitude should not be something done once a year around the Thanksgiving table. Leading with gratitude everyday helps individuals feel happier, have an improved sense of wellbeing, higher self-esteem, have less depression and anxiety, and even sleep better. 

Through small group breakout sessions, large group discussion and individual self-reflection, facilitated by Sophia Partners Executive Director and Learning Facilitator, Christa Williams, we will:

• Explore and find gratitude for all that “we carry”
• Discuss the research on leading with gratitude
• Identify and commit to gratitude best-practices
