It’s Thanksgiving week in the States, and there’s no better time to talk about something every community thinks it’s doing well, but many are quietly struggling with: gratitude.

In this episode, Vicky digs into The Gratitude Gap, the difference between appreciation that’s genuine and heartfelt and the kind that’s done out of obligation, routine, or “checking the box.”

You’ll learn:
~~ Why the way your town shows appreciation impacts your community's vibe

~~ The difference between lip-service and gratitude people can actually feel

~~ Why volunteers, businesses, partners, and residents crave real appreciation

~~ The four places where fake “thank yous” do the most damage

~~ Practical, low-cost strategies to close your gratitude gap starting this week
~~ Six bold action steps to make gratitude a cultural habit, not crisis management

If your town is tired, stuck, or struggling with engagement, this episode will show you why genuine appreciation, not bigger budgets, is often the missing link.

Small towns shine when people feel valued, they thrive when people feel appreciated, and they grow when the gratitude is real, not performed

Let’s close your community’s Gratitude Gap, one meaningful “thank you” at a time.

Thanks for listening!
