The Gratitude Advantage

Achieve Sustainable, Top-Level Performance For Your Team

Every leader wants a high-performing team.

But too often, we overlook the most powerful driver of performance:

Whether people feel valued.

When they do, they show up differently.

In this keynote, Magdale Henke reveals how gratitude, when woven into leadership and daily culture, becomes a practical, strategic tool to drive connection, reduce disengagement, and build teams that thrive under pressure.

Your audience will walk away with clear, science-backed tools they can use immediately.

No fluff, no clichés.

Just real transformation.

Who Is This Talk For

This keynote is for leaders, HR professionals, and executive teams who:

  • Want to build a culture where people feel genuinely valued — and perform at their best because of it

  • Need to re-energize their teams and create stronger connections across departments

  • Are navigating high-pressure environments and want tools to lead with empathy, presence, and clarity

  • Believe that sustainable performance starts with how people feel — and are ready to make that a strategic priority

Organizations like the American German Business Club, Ernst & Young, and the Bavarian Industry Association have invited Magdale to speak to their teams.

Why?

Because after this talk, people don’t just feel inspired.

They leave with practical tools and a mindset shift that helps them show up with more focus, ownership, and resilience.

It’s not just motivational.

It’s transformational.
