Hello Reader,
I hope this message finds you well and thriving. This week's IGFY Newsletter explores something I'm particularly excited to share with you all:
The Ripple Effect: How Gratitude Enhances Trust and Collaboration
We've all experienced moments when a simple "thank you" shifted the energy in a conversation or relationship. But did you know there's fascinating research behind how gratitude creates a ripple effect throughout teams and organizations?
In this week's deep dive, I explore:
- How expressed appreciation triggers a neurochemical response that builds trust
- The three-stage model of gratitude's impact on collaborative environments
- Practical techniques for integrating meaningful recognition into your daily leadership
None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. - Fred De Witt Van Amburgh

A quick note about the newsletter: I started publishing this 40 weeks ago as a weekly newsletter on LinkedIn. We're experiencing delays and challenges with the consistency with which they email the newsletter. So, we have now expanded to share it directly with you here and publish it on our website.
We're excited about this shift as it allows us to connect with you more personally!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic! How have you seen gratitude transform your professional relationships?
With appreciation for grateful leaders everywhere,
Kevin

Want to go deeper on this journey? Here are a few ways:
- Participate in our next Gratitude Encounter™! These dynamic events happen on the first Tuesday of each month at 12 noon ET. It's a guided hour where we explore, express, and experience gratitude in community. You can RSVP here. I also customize corporate versions for teams and would love to explore doing one for your team. Schedule a 1:1 call here.
- Join the IGFY Circle I host on Gratitude Plus. The circle code is L1FCQ9. Gratitude Plus is free and allows you to share your gratitude daily and see what others share as well. You can also create your own circle. I'd love for you to join us.
