About the Webinar

Resilience is our ability to bounce back from adversity — an important skill in times of change or hardship. But for leaders to remain positive, set a direction, and light the path for their teammates, they must be intentional about practicing gratitude and building their emotional intelligence.

While many may view the act of giving thanks as an outward expression that primarily touches others, research has actually found that displaying gratitude also leads to improving personal resilience. Watch this webinar to understand why practicing gratitude is at the heart of our 8 resilience practices that relate to enhanced social, physical, mental, and emotional outcomes.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar you’ll learn:

  • How leaders can enhance personal resilience and strengthen their teams by practicing gratitude,
  • Simple but purposeful acts for applying and demonstrating gratitude in your life,
  • Why giving thanks and practicing gratitude leads to a greater sense of connectedness, and
  • The science behind gratitude’s impact on your health.

Help your leaders strengthen team relationships and develop greater resilience through intentionally practicing gratitude. We can partner with you to build a customized learning journey for your leaders using our research-backed modules. Available leadership topics include Emotional Intelligence, Listening to Understand, Psychological Safety & Trust, Resilience-Building, and more.
