Bio
Steve Foran’s mission is to create one billion happier people. A former electrical engineer, his career pivoted during his MBA when he uncovered the powerful connection between gratitude and leadership. Awarded the Gold Medal for academic excellence, Steve laid the groundwork for a career dedicated to helping leaders and organizations thrive through gratitude.
With more than 19 years of research and practice, Steve has become a leading expert in gratitude-driven leadership, combining positive psychology and business strategies to foster happier, more engaged workplaces. In 2006, he founded Gratitude at Work, a global initiative helping leaders embed gratitude into their cultures, resulting in higher employee engagement, morale, and business performance.
Steve is the author of Surviving to Thriving: The 10 Laws of Grateful Leadership, which is recommended by The Greater Good Science Centre at UC Berkeley. Steve has delivered keynotes and workshops internationally, connecting with audiences from Asia to Europe to North and South America. He resides in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with his wife Lynda, where they bribe their kids Nick and Stef (with promises of sleep) in order to spend time with their grandkids, Max, Liam, Maesey, and Sophie.
Committed to inspiring the next generation of leaders, Steve continues to empower organizations through gratitude, helping them unlock their full potential and achieve lasting happiness and success.
