The 2027 Healing Hands Luncheon will be held on April 7th, 2027, at the Arts District Mansion in Dallas. Alongside Co-Chairs Julie & Kregg Jodie and Kristi & Bill Francis, we are excited to host Best-Selling Author Shawn Achor as our featured speaker this year.
Shawn is the New York Times best-selling author of The Happiness Advantage and Big Potential. His Happiness Advantage training is one of the largest and most successful positive psychology corporate training programs in the world.
Shawn’s research has been published in the top psychology journal for work he did at UBS in partnership with Yale University to transform how stress impacts the body. He also did a two-part series with Oprah at her house to discuss his mission to bring positive psychology to the world.
We are excited to welcome WFAA anchor and reporter, Cynthia Izaguirre, as the emcee for the 2026 Healing Hands Luncheon.
