Welcome to episode 279 of Live Happy Now.

This is Paula Phelps, and this week we're here to talk about positive education.

Whether you're an educator or a parent, the concept of positive education is something that can change your life, as well as the life of your student or child.

In these times, it's more important than ever to understand the role that well-being plays

in the lives of students, teachers, administrators, and parents.

So this week, Live Happy CEO and co-founder Deborah Heise joins us to talk about the upcoming

International Positive Education Network's 2020 Well-Being and Education Virtual Conference.

This event is being offered entirely online for the first time, and it's also free for anyone who wants to attend.

Deb sits down with me to explain what you can expect and how you can experience it.

So if you live in North and South America, it would be on the 27th to 28th. If you live in a different part of the world, it's going to be on the 28th and 29th. But it's super exciting. I pen something that I've been involved in. Actually, I'm a founding board member. It's something I've been involved in from the start, something that Live Happy's co-founder, Jeff Olson, has been involved from the start. And it's really about, you know, creating well-being in all educational systems. And we're super excited that we're hosting our third

conference it's an every other year conference we've been going about seven

years but this is our third conference and you know probably the most
