In this episode of the Growth in Educational Leadership podcast, I welcome Anna O'Connor, who is the host of the popular Gratitude Attitude Podcast. Anna shares her journey from being a dental nurse and single mother to owning two businesses and hosting a successful podcast. She discusses the power of gratitude and the Law of Attraction in achieving personal and professional goals. Anna recounts her transformative experiences and practical tips for manifesting success, while also addressing the importance of self-care, positive energy, and maintaining work-life balance.
Our conversation touches upon leadership, emotional maturity, and the impact of maintaining a positive attitude in various aspects of life and work.
Anna spoke about The Secret Book and The Awaken The Power Within by Gerry Hussey. Great reads!
