The 5 Habits of Hope — Stories & Strategies to Help You Find Your Way

A Live, Interactive Experience with Dr. Julia Garcia, Psychologist and Author (HarperCollins)

This is more than a keynote or assembly. It's a moment of truth. Students realize they're not broken. They're becoming. And hope? It's something you can practice.

This isn't another boring lecture. It's a live, raw, and interactive experience where students aren't talked at. They're seen, heard, and challenged to show up for themselves and each other.

Dr. Julia Garcia is a psychologist, TEDx speaker, and author of The 5 Habits of Hope from HarperCollins. She fuses spoken word, personal storytelling, and practical mental health tools into an unforgettable event that meets students right where they are and gives them a way forward.

What students walk away with

Value

Interactive. Students reflect, speak, and connect. No passive sitting.

Educate

Real-world tools for handling pressure, stress, and self-doubt.

Worth

Space to process identity, emotions, and lived experience.

Impact

Everyone leaves with a physical or audio copy of the book — a tool, not just a memory.

Empower

Challenges students to recognize their unique power, purpose, and strength in their stories.

When Dr. Julia opened our organization's largest event of the year, she proved to be much more than a speaker. Dr. Julia's talent, dedication, presence and delivery undoubtedly elevated the experience for all of us.
