HOUSE OF SHINE INC

House of Shine is a leadership development nonprofit. Our mission is to strengthen communities by growing confident, self-aware and resilient leaders that are equipped with a deep understanding of themselves and why their contributions to the world matter. Through our interactive museum of self-discovery, experiential curriculum, personal development and community-building programs, we empower leaders to uncover their SHINE—the Strengths, Hobbies, Interests & Irritants, Needs, and Experiences that make each of us unique.

We achieve our mission through museum exhibits, K-12 curriculum and programs that help people unearth their SHINE-the Strengths, Hobbies, Interests & Irritants, Needs, and Experiences that make them unique.

When you visit House of Shine, you will study the science of self. Each exhibit will bring you closer to understanding yourself and making the most of your talents and gifts. Beyond discovering your Shine, we want to be the catalyst that helps you activate it, implement it and grow it, so you can make your corner of the world a little brighter.

A Relentless Desire to Spread Shine

What you focus on expands. It’s as true for House of Shine’s story as it is for everyone our organization serves. Our founder, Dr. Claudia K. Beeny, began shaping the idea behind House of Shine in February of 2008, when she wrote the first post for her blog, HighLowAha. She began with the simple goal of sharing one creative idea a day for a year. However, the more she focused on creating, the more ideas came to her. She also began to explore the idea of promoting excellence, which requires greater self-awareness.
