Hello! I'm the founder of the Knoxville Happiness Coalition and author of The Future of Work is Human and The Future of Success is Happiness. With decades of experience as a mental health therapist and educator, I've shifted my focus to helping organizations thrive through human-centered leadership and well-being. I specialize in organizational culture, change leadership, and workplace wellness. I created the V.A.L.U.E.S. Model—Vision, Action, Leadership, Unity, Engagement, and Synthesis—to guide leaders in aligning performance with purpose. I work with executives and HR leaders to foster environments where people and organizations flourish. Through writing, speaking, and consulting, I advocate for leadership rooted in positive psychology and the belief that happiness drives success. My courses have elements of storytelling and I illustrate concepts through a variety of mediums. I do believe role play and practice is integral to learning. With my insights, you will leave with an action plan if you choose to apply the concepts. It's up to you. In person, I would be asking you to practice and reflect as that is the most effective way to teach soft skills, especially communication. My question to you is: how will you motivate yourself to learn and make a meaningful change?
