 bsp\;joined University Sunrise Rotary Club in 2021. Joe's career path has 
 taken him from the for-profit sector as a Chief Financial Officer – to m
 ore recently\, the nonprofit sector with a focus on Tribal housing advocac
 y and support.&nbsp\; Joe officially retired in 2016 yet continues to prov
 ide consulting services and facilitating workshops in the nonprofit sector
 \, as a way of "giving back." His personal mission is to&nbsp\;inspire and
  empower others who share his core values and beliefs.\n\n\n\nThe Power of
  GRATITUDE.&nbsp\; From the dawn of humanity\, a strange and uniquely huma
 n trait of&nbsp\;gratitude&nbsp\;emerged. With it\, came power. Hunter-gat
 herers who recognized gratitude and enlisted collaboration were more likel
 y to succeed and prosper vs. those who used force and punishment to enlist
  others to serve them. The dominance of the Homo Sapiens species grew expo
 nentially from nomadic tribalism to our current highly complex\, interdepe
 ndent technological society. Gratitude however - isn't a necessary factor 
 for progress.&nbsp\; For example\, forced compliance using fear and the th
 reat of punishment allows kings\, dictators and military leaders from havi
 ng to build loyalty\, a sense of a common purpose and a shared vision for 
 the future. Yet\, the lack of commitment or blind obedience to serve that 
 tyrant may wane\, only to undermine his/her power and influence. Further\,
  behavioral science theory finds that people who view themselves as victim
 s or who blame others for their situation - reflects a total disregard for
  the concept that grateful people are powerful people. Joe examines the un
 iquely human attribute of gratitude and how to use techniques that focus o
 n building collaborations\, commitment to a cause\, trust and respect.&nbs
 p\; Joe will also explore the benefits of practicing gratitude daily.\n
