030: John Israel - How Handwriting 1,825 Thank You Cards in a Year Changed Me

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL

Today, I’m talking with John Israel, the founder and Chief Gratitude Officer of Mr. Thank You.

After building a successful sales career, John realized he was struggling to appreciate his life. In an attempt to reconnect with gratitude, he decided to write 5 thank you cards a day for 365 days, and that decision completely transformed his life. What started as an experiment, turned into a coaching business that teaches high-performers how to tap into appreciative leadership.

In this episode, you’ll learn all about the power of gratitude and how to use it to create a culture of connection with your clients and team, strengthen retention, reduce burnout, and achieve extraordinary opportunities in both your business and life.

3 of the biggest insights from John Israel …

• How to use the Values-Outcomes-Weaknesses Framework to understand people at a deeper level so you can serve them better.

• The difference between active gratitude and passive gratitude — and how active gratitude makes people more likely to engage positively with you.

• The 3 reasons high-impact performers quit — and how implementing a gratitude practice can help retain top talent.
