I'm Linda Roszak Burton, an executive and well-being coach. I'm honored to be a member of this consortium as it supports my commitment to applying evidence-based coaching methodologies in positive psychology, neuroscience, gratitude, and positive organisational scholarship to foster healthy work environments and further promote humanism in healthcare.
As an academic researcher, I study the benefits of gratitude for individual health and well-being, as well as its role in fostering a positive work environment. I'm currently researching strategies to support the mental health of nurses, managers and support staff: Leading, Connecting, Coping: Nurses' Responses to Sustaining Well-being in Crisis Conditions, a collaboration with James Cook University (Australia) and Anglia Ruskin University (UK). Our recent work includes a 2024 publication: Gratitude interventions to improve well-being and resilience of graduate nurses transitioning to practice: A scoping review. My 2019 study showed significant improvements (p<0.001) in employee engagement and meaningfulness of work.
I write a feature series on gratitude for the Wharton Healthcare Quarterly. I'm the author of Gratitude Heals© A Journal for Inspiration and Guidance, and my TEDx Talk, The Power of Gratitude to Heal the World, was released in December 2022.
