7:47 Gratitude Experience
We help companies create meaningful connection through the 7:47 Gratitude Experience — an evidence-based framework that helps leaders build community and strengthen relationships. Using Zoom as a platform, we help companies bring their teams, partners, or clients together for meaningful connection through a virtual setting.

“We’ve done a number of dinners now with Chris. From the very first one that I had the pleasure of attending to ones now that we’ve done for many of our clients, and every single one has been absolutely transformational. Chris brings not only this level of energy and authenticity, but also is able to help break the walls and foster connections. It’s been one of the best things we’ve ever done for our business and not just for our team and our clients, but it’s really helped us grow both personally and professionally and be able to connect better with our clients and for them to learn how to better connect with themselves as well.”
— Michael Mogill, Crisp Group

“The food services sector has been roughly impacted through COVID-19. Chris gave us the opportunity to connect with each other and see our peers for how we are feeling. After the Experience, each salesperson had an action to write a gratitude letter to one person daily. Some of our employees gave gratitude to clients who have missed payments. Some gave gratitude to their peers. Now, I see gratitude daily because of the experience.”
— Ky LaMarca, Vice President of Sales, US Foods

"Many of our employees said this was the best 90 minutes they'd ever spent at Dell. I connected with someone that I had not before. It got deep and personal quick. We haven’t been able to connect like that, and people are really going through some things right now. The world is on fire right now and you're here to help them put out those fires."
—ERIK DAY, Dell Technologies
