Welcome
I’m Reen Rose—bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and self-proclaimed, clinically-depressed happiness maven. Yes, you read that right.
I used to think I had happiness figured out. For the first thirty years of my life, I was optimistic, adventurous, and confident that everything would work out.Â
But after moving overseas for love, leaving behind my career and community, everything changed. I slipped into a deep depression that knocked me off my feet and forced me to face a difficult truth: I didn’t know how to care for my own well-being. That experience became the catalyst for everything I do now.
I believe happiness is more than just an emotion. It's a skill. Small, research-backed changes can make a huge difference not only to your life, but to the success of teams, schools, families, and entire organizations.
What I Do
I Speak
I deliver honest, hope-filled keynotes that blend storytelling, science, and small, doable strategies, with a generous sprinkle of real-life insight and humor. My talks don’t just offer tools for positive change, they explain why those tools work. It's about shifting perspective, turning challenges into opportunities, and helping people see that happiness isn’t a luxury, it’s a learnable, livable skill.
I Write
My books take a deeper dive into the principles I share in my presentations and workshops. They offer space to reflect, explore, and apply the ideas at your own pace. Each one is filled with practical strategies, relatable stories, and the science behind why these small shifts actually work. Whether you're navigating workplace stress, parenting challenges, or a tough personal season, my books are designed to support real people in real life.
I Model Happiness
The most powerful way to inspire happiness in others isn’t by lecturing or pushing, it’s by modelling it. When we live it, others see what’s possible. Happiness isn’t about avoiding struggle; it’s about having the courage to rise after falling. It’s about learning, growing, and choosing light even when the shadows show up.
Ready to bring happiness to your workplace or event?
Whether you’re planning a staff training, a conference, or a fundraiser, I offer engaging keynotes that leave audiences feeling empowered, entertained, and ready for change.

The first time I saw Reen Rose speak, I was mesmerized by her quick wit and humour as she gracefully held the attention of every set of eyes and ears in the room. Her clear ability to deliver her message in a way that gets people excited and wanting more is one of Reen’s greatest strengths as a professional trainer and speaker. Reen is entertaining, engaging, informative and funny, and I look forward to hearing her speak or attending one of her workshops again in the near future.
