Our CEO & Chief Hope Officer, Kathryn Goetzke, developed the Five Keys to Shine Hope™ framework based on her own experiences with hopelessness, her 20 years of studying top global scientists and attending conferences, creating programming and publishing research, and her deep desire to help others. Kathryn attended (and presented) at conferences like the World Health Organization, Kennedy Forum, World Bank, United Nations, and more, and conducted focus groups globally to understand the underlying mechanisms needed to grow hope in individuals. Her pilot curriculum, Hopeful Minds, was recognized as an innovation by the World Bank.
Here are some of the materials that teaches the Five Keys to Shine Hope skills:
