Topic: The Gratitude Edge: 5 Leadership Shifts to Rewire Your Focus, Energy, and Impact

In today’s fast-paced, high-demand business world, burnout has become the background noise of leadership. You’re managing people, solving problems, making decisions—and likely doing it all while running on empty. But what if the secret to refueling your leadership and reigniting your clarity wasn’t about working harder or finding better balance… but shifting your focus?

In this powerful and practical session, Jessica Devenish—business coach and gratitude expert—will show you how to turn gratitude into a high-performance tool that improves decision-making, increases energy, and reduces overwhelm.

This isn’t about adding one more thing to your to-do list—it’s about creating strategic micro-practices that rewire how you lead.

You’ll learn:

• Why gratitude is a competitive edge that builds trust, alignment, and lasting momentum
• How to prime your brain’s focus filter (RAS) to spot solutions & opportunities faster
• Impactful mindset shifts and practical implementation
• How to use gratitude to emotionally recharge instead of burning out
• A framework for choosing response over reaction when leadership gets messy
• Leadership touch points you can embed into meetings, communication, and culture

Jessica’s approach is rooted in neuroscience, real-world leadership, and grounded personal practice. You’ll walk away with tools you can use immediately—plus a fresh perspective.
