Currently, 7:47 is leading a multi-year long study on how gratitude improves well-being, promote pro-social behavior, and is ultimately great for building fruitful business relationships.

Speaking Topics
  • Gratitude is Better Together

    In the final Act, attendees come together to share their learnings and collaborate on the future of culture. This innovative process invites attendees to co-create a bridge to belonging (actionable allyship plan) with a partner who has different life experiences. Through honest dialogue in safe spaces, each attendee experiences empathy, gratitude, and what it means to belong. For many, this is a pivotal shift that reduces loneliness and motivates attendees to create belonging for others.

  • Gratitude for Our Differences

    Attendees explore what differentiates them, celebrate the unique perspective they bring to the organization, and share how they desire to belong. 7:47’s creative process uses both empathy and curiosity to expose the biases that can exist within homogenous groups in order to create communal resources, increase selfawareness, and create psychological safety and trust. By using gratitude to process past memories and one’s unique differences, science shows that you can destigmatize it.

  • The Virtual Gratitude Experience

    We begin with the signature 7:47 Virtual Gratitude Experience, where your leadership and ERG groups dive beneath the surface and share their stories. In addition to realizing that they have more in common than they might expect, 99.8% of attendees report a positive emotional transformation and greater inspiration to engage at work.
