Elizabeth Power, M.Ed., is recovering from starting out in a big Unhappy Hole. She has climbed and clawed her way to Happy in recent years, and tends to hike up her Happy at every chance. She's an accomplished speaker and educator, with over thirty-thousand hours creating, delivering, and evaluating adult learning across a variety of contexts. From the National Center for PTSD to J.D. Power and Associates, and from Sidran Institute to the Children's Institute, she has helped people learn, grow, and change. A graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and Vanderbilt University, she's as funny as she is educated. She still speaks plainly, thinks clearly, and speaks well-enough of a storyteller to make the cover of Successful Meetings, and a veteran of the Montel Williams and Faith Daniels talk shows. She's a funny writer with a strong voice who addresses tough issues writing in a variety of styles.
