Jan Hoath: Joy Unleashed

In this inspiring conversation with Jan Hoath, we explore the transformative power of accountability and its connection to joy. Jan, an international speaker, author, poet, and joy-filled leadership mentor, shares her mission of creating a world centered around joy. Drawing from her own struggles with identity and personal loss of joy, Jan is passionate about helping others rediscover their joy, especially women leaders who have sacrificed their happiness for success. She believes that when we hold ourselves accountable to our joy, we radiate that energy to others, creating a ricochet of joy that can change the world.

Jan’s journey to joy is deeply personal. She recounts a pivotal moment in her youth when a shoulder injury ended her swimming career, leading her to question her identity. This experience, combined with a life-changing opportunity to study abroad, reignited her sense of purpose and joy. Through her journey, she created the "Happiness Prism" and developed an acronym for joy: "Just Own You," which reminds us that joy is an evolving process that requires us to embrace every moment.

Jan’s message is clear: we each hold the responsibility to create our own joy. Only by embracing this responsibility can we show up authentically in the world and uplift those around us.
