Practicing gratitude in leadership with Kimberly Adams

Join me, Susan Ireland, as I talk with Seasoned Leader and previous podcast guest Kimberly Adams about gratitude, positivity and community in this special Thanksgiving episode. Kimberly, an artist, author, art instructor, business owner and executive leader shares her leadership perspective on the importance of shifting your energy to positivity. You will be inspired by our discussion to lead with gratitude.

Show Notes:

(1:23) We start with thoughts on gratefulness. Kimberly shares her recovery mindset and how being grateful needs to be a consistent practice.

(6:11) Skillsets – Kimberly shares the wisdom of recognizing the skills you have acquired along the way to help you as a leader. We talk about the negative bias humans tend to have and how practicing gratefulness can rewire your brain for positivity. 

(9:22) We talk about the amazing gift it is to tell someone when you observe their strength. A hallmark of a great leader is being able to see other's superpowers. Kimberly and I discuss the importance of recognizing and appreciating individual strengths, both in ourselves and others. Discover how leaders can uplift their teams by acknowledging these unique qualities, all while avoiding the trap of comparison. 

(11:29) We reflect on what we are grateful for now. Watch on YouTube to see all the beautiful fall colors and the special gift I have for Kimberly which supports the Love Your Brain Foundation.
