Why is gratitude important (skip to the end to find out if you really must)?

As I prepare for the last workshop of this week I feel incredibly grateful for the clients that trust me to deliver for them and to coach them. This week I have been to Dalian to talk about DEI and inclusive leadership, coached clients in Dubai, Shanghai, Beijing, Paris, Bangkok, New York and Taipei (online) and had the opportunity to enter a bid for a two year leadership development program for a long term client in Shenzhen. All while working on my capstone project (the development of my own coaching model) for my master coach training to be presented in Malaysia next month (oh how I hate exams haha). I’m so grateful for all these opportunities, and the knowledge that you have to create the opportunities yourself, no one is going to hand things to you and the world owes you nothing. It’s hard work but so rewarding and it’s amazing to be able to do something I love. Did you skip to here immediately? Here are several reasons why gratitude is important: 1. Enhances Mental Health2. Promotes Positive Emotions3. Improves Physical Health4. Strengthens Relationships5. Encourages Resilience6. Increases Self-Esteem7. Fosters a Sense of Purpose.

Growing up in Ireland and the UK, many of us hear about keeping a “stiff upper lip.” This means not talking about our feelings and just pushing through tough times.

If you think you can achieve great things, you’re more likely to try. Here are some tips to strengthen your beliefs: 2. Build Your Walls with Knowledge Knowledge is like the walls of your house. It keeps you safe and secure. Here’s how to gather knowledge about mental health: 3. Add a Roof with Resilience Resilience protects your mindset from challenges, just like a roof protects a house from rain. Here’s how to develop resilience: 4.

Life throws curveballs at everyone, doesn’t it? In the past two months, I’ve had the privilege of running resilience workshops for two very different groups: leaders at Loewe and headteachers of international schools in Shanghai.
