Jean Steel, Motivational Speaker at Happy People Win  
Jean moved overseas at an early age as her family followed their father’s passions, spending much of their childhood in Africa and Asia. This experience taught Jean to appreciate the little things in life that we most often take for granted. Jean followed her passion and subsequently received her Master’s degree in Wellness/Mind/Body Health. It is her education and life experiences that have brought light to her understanding of the integration of balance and harmony of an individual's mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual self, resulting in a positive state of well-being – Happiness and Resilience. And these are the topics she has chosen to base her work around as a speaker and author.

Jean has served on the faculty of Santa Barbara City College, Cal State Sacramento, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. She has authored two book - I’d Like to Run Wild!, a Wellness Action Guide and Need Change? Customer Service Tips to Grow from Good to Great!. Jean has a vast and loyal client portfolio, such as the American Heart Association, California Hospital Association, E&J Gallo Winery, Arizona Association of Counties, Georgia Institute on Aging, U.S. Women in Nuclear, International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE), Central California Women’s Conference, the YMCA, and countless other organizations. And years later, Jean still pays visits to Africa and Asia as often as possible while also giving back much of her time and profits to several local and global charities.

Every person deserves to be HAPPY at home and work
When my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at UC Davis, we were devastated. My entire family (mom and four siblings) was up there for the four days of testing and when we heard the results, sat in the room and cried. Then the staff told us, we would be OK. Because while they were testing my dad, they were watching us. “You all laugh a lot, love each other a lot and are happy. You will survive.” It wasn’t easy, in fact we cried and hated the disease often on a daily basis. But we laughed more. And loved more. And became even closer. It was a conscious choice. Sometimes a difficult one. But we made it through. I choose a positive attitude. I also LOVE my job. And think you can too. I am grateful, and think you can be too.
