Gratitude is sort of the gateway drug to wellbeing. One thing that’s really, really important for you to know about gratitude is that it gives you an opportunity to take a step back and to see the value in others, to see the value in your situation, and to reframe what you’re going through.
I have the pleasure of revisiting with a past guest. He’s an amazing person with some really cool experiences. His name is Robin Dreeke. Robin is the Founder and CEO of People Formula.

The Military Leader: Although Robin always aspired to become a great leader, he realized from his time at the United States Naval Academy and in the United States Marine Corps that leadership was much more than just telling people what to do: a great leader uses interpersonal skills to inspire action, rather than demand the compliance of others.

Serving in New York City, Norfolk VA, FBI Headquarters, Quantico VA, and Fredericksburg VA, Robin received advanced training and experience in the area of social psychology and the practical application of the science behind relationship development and trust, ultimately leading the FBI’s elite Behavioral Analysis Program.

Robin has combined all these tools and techniques and created a one-of-a-kind formula for success with people.
