Dominique is an avid sportsman, strongly socially committed and closely involved with the challenges and opportunities of inclusion of persons with disabilities as the National Director of the Special Olympics Belgium.
In spite of a cold, he showed up and we had a great conversation on gratitude.
Here are 5 specific things we talk about:
- What does gratitude mean for you personally?
- Why is gratitude less important in the Western world?
- What could we do when it's hard to feel grateful?
- Have you always been a grateful person, or was it something that helped you become more grateful?
- How are you experiencing gratitude in your work today?
