Stories and strategies to help you find your way
Behind every school improvement plan, initiative, and deadline is a human being, doing their best to hold it all together. This is not another PD session to sit through. It's a real-time experience designed to re-center the people who make school work.
Dr. Julia Garcia is a psychologist, TEDx speaker, and author of The 5 Habits of Hope from HarperCollins. Her work blends behavioral science, personal storytelling, and spoken-word performance into a live, interactive session that equips staff with practical tools to build resilience, culture, and connection, starting with themselves.
For over two decades, Dr. Julia has worked with educators across hundreds of schools, helping them navigate the emotional toll of leadership, burnout, and care fatigue.
