Gratitude is often underestimated in leadership — seen as something soft, optional, or secondary. In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour. leadership coach Hanna Zaxmy explores why leading with gratitude is, in fact, a powerful and deeply human leadership skill.
Through personal stories about family, early role models, and leadership learned long before titles or positions, Hanna reflects on where leadership truly begins. The episode highlights how values, presence, and appreciation shape our inner compass — and how everyday actions often speak louder than formal authority.
You’ll be invited to reflect on:
- Why gratitude is a core leadership capability, not a “nice to have”
- Who we often learn leadership from before we ever step into formal roles
- How expressed appreciation builds trust, confidence, and motivation
- What values in action look like — at work and in life
- Simple ways to practise gratitude as part of sustainable self-leadership
This episode is for leaders who want to create meaningful impact — and who believe leadership is human, values-driven, and rooted in what truly matters.
