“Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” - Voltaire
In this episode Mandy and Stephanie have a conversation about having an attitude of gratitude. They break it down into how we are showing up with gratitude as leaders of ourselves, our daily lives, and in the workplace.
Sally Schott then brings the statistics and science around gratitude for leaders. Sally founded SOAR over 15 years ago with 25+ years of experience in creating and leading successful peer-to-peer learning environments for senior leaders across multiple industries and disciplines for many Fortune 500 companies. Her career experiences have given her the opportunity to focus on what she is most passionate about – assisting women to accelerate their professional careers. As CEO, Sally guides the overall strategic vision of SOAR and drives client partnerships.
“I wanted to make sure women had every opportunity for advancement, for growth, for personal and professional success. But hopefully didn’t have to pull as many arrows out of their backs as I did… It is the legacy I give to women in the workplace; to help them grow and become the leaders they want to be and their companies need.”
