Keynote: The Get Happier School Journey: A Story of Challenges and Opportunities in the Application of Choice Theory

How has learning Choice Theory helped you, and do you enjoy using Choice Theory to make a difference in the world?

Ivan Honey is a Psychologist, International Trainer and a two-time #1 Amazon Bestselling Author with his children’s book, The Amazing Adventures of Doug Dragster, and his new book Happy Parenting: Raising Positive and Empowered Kids. 

He is the founder of the new Get Happier Project which was researched and trialled in the Los Angeles School District in California, and is now being implemented in schools in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.

Ivan works with many schools and teachers to implement the ideas and strategies of his practical psychology and wellbeing program in the classroom.

He teaches the psychology of self-esteem and relationships, emotional intelligence, well-being, motivation, and mindsets for resilience and high performance. After creating many colourful resources, (see www.gethappier.net), that were used by trainers, counsellors and teachers all around the world, he and his team developed the Get Happier School program, a comprehensive developmental curriculum in Social and Emotional Learning for Primary Schools (children 5 -12 years).

In this inspiring session, Ivan will share the Get Happier School story.

Ivan will share the reasons why he embarked on this journey, and how it aligned with the mission and vision of Dr Glasser.

He will explain the process of the development and evolution of the Get Happier School, over 15 years.

You will learn the key framework of the Get Happier School and see it in action in different schools.

As you listen to this story, you will also discover some clear and practical guidelines for facilitating positive change.
