Professional Bio
Most keynote speakers give presentations.
Kim Hodous creates experiences.
From the moment she steps onto the stage, audiences lean in. They're laughing one minute, wiping away tears the next, celebrating complete strangers, and discovering just how powerful a few simple shifts can be. Her programs are fast-paced, highly interactive, and impossible to sit through as a passive observer. People don't just watch Kim's keynote—they become part of it.
A CSP®, best-selling author, award-winning entrepreneur, and nationally recognized happiness expert, Kim has delivered more than 1,000 presentations over the past two decades, helping organizations build happier, healthier, higher-performing cultures. She combines compelling research, unforgettable storytelling, audience interaction, and practical strategies that people can begin using before they even leave the room.
Kim's journey—from building a million-dollar business at her kitchen table while raising five children to navigating unimaginable personal loss—has shaped her belief that happiness isn't about avoiding hardship. It's about choosing the habits, relationships, and mindset that allow us to flourish through it.
Whether she's speaking to healthcare professionals, educators, association leaders, or corporate teams, Kim creates the kind of connection people rarely experience at conferences. The room feels lighter. Teams reconnect. Leaders remember why their work matters. People celebrate one another. And long after the conference is over, they're still talking about what happened in the room.
Your audience will laugh.
They'll reflect.
They'll connect.
They'll celebrate one another.
And they'll walk out happier than they walked in.
