The meeting experience is often more about how attendees feel rather than what they think. One way to generate positive feelings is to design experiences that encourage gratitude. Although the holiday season is often when we’re reminded of what we’re most thankful for, there are many benefits to practicing gratitude on a consistent basis. Studies have shown that daily or weekly reflections of thankfulness lead to a happier, more optimistic outlook and stronger, more positive relationships.
