There's always something spectacular happening.

Going and searching for it is like this lack of faith in it.

It pushes it away from you.

Just the idea that you're wanting to be grateful is something to be grateful for.

Welcome to the art of accomplishment, where we explore how deepening connection with ourselves and others leads to creating the life we want with enjoyment and ease.

I'm Brett Kisler, here today with my co-host, Joe Hudson.

So I've been working with a CEO client who recently, they wanted to bring more connection into their meetings, into their leadership meetings.

And so I asked how, if at all, gratitude is involved in their meeting process.

And first he was a little shocked.

And then he kind of laughed and squirmed a little bit.

And I was like, what's the squirm?

And he's like, yeah, I just can't imagine explicitly inviting my team to share things

they're grateful for in a structured way in our meetings.

I just, I'd be embarrassed.

And, you know, I found that fascinating.

And it's also not at all in common.

Somehow, especially in a lot of business circles, but kind of across our culture in a lot of ways, gratitude is often seen as something that's orthogonal or unrelated to productivity or efficiency, superfluous even.

So in that spirit, I want to take up an higher episode to talk about just gratitude.

Let's be superfluous.

Let's be superfluous and just talk about gratitude.

I love it.

Let's do it.
