What if I was to tell you that science has shown there is a way you can easily raise your baseline happiness by 25%? Would you want to know how? There’s one thing that can do this.  It’s gratitude. Gratitude is the FUEL for happiness, yet so many people don’t practice it. Why? Because most don’t understand how it works. The great news is that brain science and physics back the benefits. Learn why fulfilled bold leaders are using it both at work and home... and beyond the Thanksgiving season. In this episode you’ll learn why the practice of gratitude will amplify what’s already going well and lead you to experience what you want.     For full show notes, head to ritahyland.com/podcast.

If you’re feeling unusually uncomfortable, unmotivated or unraveling for reasons you can’t totally explain, it’s time to flip the script and be grateful for this year of profound disruption. You are not the same person you were at the start of this year. This year uprooted our autopilot and forced adjustments to our ego’s priorities, goals and ways of being. As a result we are in transition, adjusting to a new frequency. And like an airplane taking off and shaking until it reaches altitude, we are experiencing an adjustment. In this episode, you will learn what the disruption of this year is all about and how to drop what is no longer a part of you. You will also learn how to deliberately CHOOSE the experience you’ve been craving but haven’t allowed yourself yet.   For full show notes, head to ritahyland.com/podcast.

There is a big mistake that a lot of generous and well-intended individuals often make for the sake of showing they care. That mistake: self-sacrificing. You may overextend yourself because you believe it’s helping those around you. The truth is that when you self-sacrifice, you are actually self-sabotaging. Even worse, it’s selfish. If you’re feeling frustrated because you’re giving too much, it’s not your boss’ fault, or your partner’s fault, or your kid’s fault. Here’s the bottom line: self-sacrifice is a choice. This episode will explain how self-sacrifice holds great leaders back, and what to do about it so you can ACTUALLY create life-changing impact in your work, your life and those you serve.   For full show notes, head to ritahyland.com/podcast!

There is a reason for that.  Expansion in any category is not a matter of addition.  It’s a matter of subtraction. This episode will show you three ways to use subtraction to make the changes you want to make from the inside out.   For full show notes, head to ritahyland.com/podcast .

One of the most immediate ways you can care for and serve in the interaction right in front of you, is to listen. In fact, accurately being heard is one of the greatest gifts you can give another.

We all have a desire to be seen and heard. Powerful connections are made when we are. It makes sense then to learn how to deliberately improve your own active listening skills so you can improve the quality of your interactions in business, leadership and other important relationships.   For full show notes, head to ritahyland.com/podcast.
