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.

2025
We're closing out the year and I've been reflecting on 2025 with clients over the past couple weeks using an exercise I "sorta" forced on them. Their feedback in one sentence, "We accomplished a lot more than I thought. I never look back. I'm always looking at what's next. Great exercise."
Today I’m grateful for:
the power of celebrating wins
they trusted me even though they were sceptical
getting ideas (from them) that I can use for me !
What are you grateful for today ?
Have a fantastic weekend !
