My guest today, Kim Strobel, has a mission: empower teachers to take control of their joy and happiness. Her new book has those two words in the title, Teach Happy: Small Steps to Big Joy. She says that happiness and joy are not the same, and they aren't always present at the same time. On this episode, Kim shared what it truly means to take control of your joy, both in and out of the classroom.
. . .
Kim Strobel is an internationally-known motivational speaker for educators, school leaders, and organizations and travels the globe sharing the impact of happiness on well-being and student achievement.
She is the author of Teach Happy: Small Steps to Big Joy, which provides a clear path to reclaiming joy and happiness within and outside of the teaching profession.
As a former teacher and curriculum director, her goal is to inspire you by providing thought-provoking research, heartwarming stories, and simple action steps that get you life-changing results.
Because of her own challenges and adversities, Kim teaches others how to overcome their fears, discover their joy, activate their potential, and boldly pursue a life that feels good to them from the INSIDE-OUT.
