Are you an inspiration for others to overcome tough obstacles through an attitude of gratitude?
Co-founder and CEO of Thnks Brendan Kamm sat down with Darin Hollingsworth’s podcast, Working Gratitude to discuss how gratitude is a powerful catalyst for overcoming business and personal challenges. As the Chief gratitude and accountability officer at Odonata Coaching and Consulting, Darin has interviewed numerous successful leaders on relationship building.
In the episode, Brendan goes into depth of his journey of how living with and giving gratitude has helped build his personal and business relationships.
After taking a dive into the unknown leaving his stable career with a newborn on the way, Brendan started Thnks crediting his family and colleagues for its continual growth. Experiencing these types of moments inspired him to promote businesses to focus on meaningful relationships, not transactional ones.
Throughout the conversation, you’ll learn why it’s essential to use daily gratitude to promote business and personal growth. As Darin mentions, “It (gratitude) helps the giver and it inspires the receiver” making it a powerful tool to help yourself and others at the same time. Additionally, Brendan shared practical tips on how you can practice gratitude increasing workplace satisfaction.
