Walt Disney once said, “You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” That’s exactly what happened to Kirk Wilkinson. Having been abandoned by his mother in his youth, laid off and re-hired by the same company three times, experienced personal and financial setbacks, and having survived cancer – twice, Kirk knows what it is like to be kicked in the teeth and why it can indeed be the best thing for you.

Kirk is a the author of the bestselling book, The Happiness Factor: How to be Happy No Matter What! His work has been featured in national media, including The Montel Williams Show, Woman’s World Magazine, PBS, National Public Radio, and major U.S. newspapers. Stephen Covey, author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, has praised Kirk’s book as “edifying and inspiring.” The Happiness Factor is published in 13 countries.

Happy people make better employees, they take fewer sick days, they are better negotiators and close more deals. Happy people make better team members and are more creative and more productive. Organizational happiness is not a fairly tale but can be a reality. After Kirk’s presentations sales increase, moral increases and people work together better.

Kirk is the founder of The Happiness Factor, an organization dedicated to coaching and teaching participants how to achieve personal and organizational happiness. Through adversity, Kirk has learned that happiness is a skill; when acquired, that skill can improve every aspect of your life despite challenges and setbacks. Kirk’s programs help you discover and develop practical and effective skills that will empower you to reach your potential, live your dreams, find meaning and be happy regardless of your circumstances.
