Why gratitude is important to me
Hello, my name is Carmen Sederino and I'm the founder and visionary behind Illuminated Story, a revolutionary approach to transforming high-stakes presentations into unforgettable performances. With a unique blend of theatrical artistry, business acumen, and communication expertise, I am the premier strategist for visionary founders and global leaders seeking to elevate their public speaking from mere words to lasting impact. Gratitude is important to me because I wouldn't be where I am in my business or life right now without practising gratitude. Aiming for the pinnacle and having the desire to cause enormous impact in the world doesn't come without challenges. There is something that is both grounding and energising about reflecting on magical every day moments. Moments that I am deeply grateful for.

Home heating
It's winter out there this morning (-14 in our backyard when I woke up). It's quite beautiful but it's cold.
Today I’m grateful for:
to have a roof over my head
my first job that taught me important lessons about work and responsibility and the type of work I enjoyed doing
a reliable heating system that keeps us warm and cozy when it's -14
What are you grateful for today ?
Have a fantastic weekend !
