December First Friday Breakfast - Generosity At Work

Generosity At Work
Keith Jennings, Vice President of Community Impact
Jackson Healthcare

As December approaches our focus turns naturally to generosity. After all, it’s the season of giving. The Make A Difference team of our Southwest Gwinnett Chamber engages throughout the year in a wide variety of endeavors to generously serve our communities. Perhaps you’ve been a part of one?   
 
So as the season of giving arrives, we’ll be talking about how generosity is at work in our workplaces and world. Joining us from Jackson Healthcare is Keith Jennings, VP of Community Impact. 
 

What exactly is generosity? Why is it valued by so many, yet practiced by so few? How does generosity impact our health and wellbeing? Are there correlations between generosity and our sense of purpose and meaning?
 
Keith will address these questions and take us on a journey into to the science of generosity. He’ll share impactful ways we can be more generous with our lives and work.
