Hello! My name is Andy Kaufman, President of the Institute for Leadership Excellence & Development Inc. I have the privilege of working with organizations around the world who are struggling with how to deliver projects and lead teams.

Let me ask you a simple question: "What are you thankful for?"

Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in November each year in the United States. Many other countries have days set aside as a time to give thanks as well, from Canada (2nd Monday in October) to Liberia (1st Thursday in November).

Of course, being thankful is not a once-a-year event. Rather, it should be an attitude we carry throughout every day, both at work and at home. Research increasingly shows that those are thankful have a higher quality of life and may even live longer!

So, "What are you thankful for today?"

You are invited to participate in this year's World of Thanks event. Just fill in the form below and your comments will be published along with others from around the world.

At a time when there is plenty to be concerned about, let's encourage and inspire each other with a spirit of gratitude.

P.S. Feel free to pass this link to friends as well! The more gratitude, the better!
