Making Hope Happen: Create the Future You Want for Yourself and Others

"Making Hope Happen: Create the Future You Want for Yourself and Others," is part of the college's Polsky Personal Enrichment Series.

Shane Lopez is senior scientist in residence at Gallup, research director for the Clifton Strengths Institute and a professor of business at the University of Kansas. He will reveal the results of his research on the psychology of hope along with new findings from around the world.

Lopez recently published a book with the same title as his presentation. It is a practical guide on how to create, use and share hope. It offers proven strategies and techniques for building a high-hope mindset and for setting goals.

Lopez's mission is to help people of all ages exercise some control over what their future can become and to teach them how to aim for the future they want in school, work and life.

"Hope is necessary for happiness," Lopez explained.

The Polsky Series is underwritten by the Norman and Elaine Polsky Family Supporting Foundation within the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation in partnership with JCCC, and includes topics not currently offered elsewhere.
