81% of employees say they’d work harder for a boss who shows gratitude.

Let that sink in.

What does gratitude have to do with wellness? Everything.

Gratitude is about creating a sense of balance and connection. It’s fundamental to achieving overall wellbeing—especially mental wellbeing. When we lead with gratitude, it shifts how we connect with our teams, how we inspire them, and how we show up for ourselves.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Brian Proctor, founder of Leeds Hospitality Group and host of the Tuesday Thanks podcast.

During the pandemic, Brian started a simple project: thanking one person every week on LinkedIn. What began as a personal practice turned into a movement—transforming relationships, team cultures, and even business results.

Today, he’s helping leaders across industries bring gratitude into their daily routines in a way that’s meaningful and impactful.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

→ How small, consistent acts of gratitude—like a handwritten note—can have an outsized impact on your team.

→ Why authenticity matters when expressing gratitude (and how to avoid sounding robotic).

→ The surprising ways gratitude can strengthen team morale, reduce turnover, and even boost productivity.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to start using gratitude to inspire your team, boost performance, and create a culture where people feel valued and connected.
