In this episode of The Polished Podcast, hosted by Jane Doerman, guest David Silko, a retiree turned refiree, AND Polished Network board member, shares how gratitude can be a game-changer in leadership. With decades of experience in accounting and operations, David reveals how leading with gratitude transformed his approach to work—and how it can transform yours, too.

David tells the story of how a simple Bible study at work inspired him to make gratitude a core leadership practice, paving the way for deeper collaboration and trust. In a world where expressing thanks can feel risky, David shows how gratitude, empowered by the Holy Spirit, can build thriving teams and genuine connections.
