ACHE 86th Annual Conference and Meeting - October 14-16 2024

30-Minute Presentations

In this session, the research behind gratitude will be shared as a basis for why we should practice gratitude in our personal and professional lives. Participants will learn about 

• how gratitude improves relationships (including faculty and student relationships), 
• how gratitude improves the workplace, and
• how to employ one of five essential leadership practices, Encourage the Heart (Kouzes and Posner).

After we discuss strategies to cultivate gratitude, participants will create an action plan based on the session so they can take an idea back to their organization and implement it immediately. With burnout on the rise, gratitude can help faculty and leaders create a culture of wellness.
