The truth is, gratitude in leadership isn't soft. It's strategic. It creates loyalty, builds trust, and fosters an environment where people want to give their best. And yet, many leaders underestimate its power. Instead, they focus only on fixing what's wrong, and miss the opportunity to amplify what's right. 

For professional women like us — ambitious, juggling so much, navigating structures that sometimes don't support us — gratitude isn't just something we feel. It's something we practice. And when we do, it transforms not only us, but the teams we lead.
