The "Gratitude Economy" is Rising: Find Your Leading Role in the Wave
64% of consumers now self-identify as "valuesdriven" in their purchases, and 62% of employees want to work in places that care about our shared future. People are consciously spending their money with companies that have found a way to do good business while making the world a better place. Dr. Lynda calls this the rise of a Gratitude Economy, and in conversations on this topic she helps us find our role in it: as leaders, teams, and individuals.

Dr. Lynda Ulrich
Dr. Lynda Ulrich is the founder of the Goodness Exchange: THE home for goodness in the world. There you will find articles, podcasts, events, and a private
social media community, built around celebrating countless remarkable efforts
that are solving the world’s most vexing problems, small and large.
And the
goal? To bring people with good intention and good ideas together in a way that
can open a new era... change the future for each of us, and all of us.
Dr. Lynda
is an author, 3-time TEDx speaker, media contributor, and a regular podcast guest. She has been interviewed live by WGN Chicago, in the same hour
as Michelle Obama and Rachel Ray. She is also the host of The Conspiracy of Goodness
Podcast,
interviewing global thought leaders who are pointing to possibilities and
perspectives that would put a spring in anyone's step right now.
The two
unique characteristics that brought Dr. Lynda to the task of creating a global
positive media company in 2013: fearless curiosity and the ability to combine
things that few have thought to connect. Many unusual life experiences allowed
her to ignore the rules and assumptions of those in the trenches of the online
world and reimagine what was possible with the amazing tool that the internet
offers us all.
As the
ultimate kind of connector, Dr. Lynda sees possibility everywhere and is an
expert in fitting seemingly stray parts together; instincts sharpened by a life
as a global traveler, exceptional artist, and early adopter of technology.
Dr. Lynda
has devoted her professional life to finding inspiring ways to keep the
humanity in healthcare. And now she is speaking to thought leaders around the
world every week who are making the world a better place in astonishing ways.
Her gift is in synthesizing their genius into narratives, ideas, and
connections that can change our shared future.
Out of
our chaotic, seemingly doomed world, Dr. Lynda's voice arises with a vision and
strategy for action available to each of us, bar none. She excludes no one, and
casts no stones. Instead, she points to an enormous wave of goodness and
progress, well underway in the world, now hidden by the negative noise in our
online lives.
She gives
us a plan to find less fear and more joy there, and a path to cultivate what we
are each uniquely built to contribute. Experience tells her that there is a "Conspiracy of Goodness" in our times and a new era is ready to open.
Dr.
Lynda’s work proves, unequivocally, that it is STILL an amazing world.
