Why gratitude is important to me
I’m a former Navy Airman, Mainframe Engineer and Fortune 500 Executive. Also a leadership pioneer, TEDx speaker and Bestseller Author. Now the CRO at Warmspace, I have dedicated the last 2 decades of my life, to establishing cultures of respect, appreciation and gratitude at 100s of organisations around the world. Finding a way for everyone to be truly seen, heard and valued, every single day of their life. Everywhere. I deeply believe that if we can insert a tiny bit of kindness into every conversation we have, then deep connection, trust and gratitude will emerge. And with that Gratitude, we feel fully empowered and entrusted, to boldly go where we never dared to go before. And yeah, make the world a better place. Together.

First day at...
There's a lot of "firsts" this week - for kids, for parents, for CEOs and engineers... for everyone.
Today I’m grateful for:
the excitement you can see in "first day of school" pictures
memories of my first days of school and of our kids too
how kids take seriously, lining up at the school bus vis-a-vis the line of knapsacks - it always cracks me up when I see it
What are you grateful for today ?
