International trainer, coach and author MK Mueller spent 10 years in the classroom as a high school teacher. Although an honors student in high school, at 34 she found herself in a domestic violence shelter. Her newfound insights combined with her passion for education and ability to break complex concepts into easy to understand pieces led to the creation of the 8 to Great program.  In her words: 

"In order to be effective, education today must be multi-dimensional. If a student walks out of our education system with long division and a large vocabulary, but without courage, hope or gratitude for life, we have failed. Not because we have not taught these qualities, but because they are natural to the human spirit, they walked in our doors with them, and therefore, somewhere along the way, we have crushed them.

When taught from the heart by an instructor who believes in the program, 8 to Great renews the spirit of courage, hope and gratitude for life. We guarantee it.”

   MK Mueller

Soon after she left the shelter, Mueller began a support group in her home with five neighbors. To date, she has taken her program internationally to over 200,000 adults and 6,000 students. She is the author of "Taking Care of Me: The Habits of Happiness," now available in Spanish and French. Her newest book on this material, "8 to Great: The Powerful Process for Positive Change" will be out in August of 2009. 

MK has over 100 educators and professional counselors from nine states who are certified trainers for the 8 to Great program. They see the power of helping students and adults realize that we are not victims because the power to effect change is within us and are prepared to coordinate the implementation of 8 to Great in schools all over the country.  .

"We're implementing 8 to Great throughout our curriculum because it helps students feel connected with themselves, their dreams and others. I have seen a significant difference in our students and faculty. I recommend it highly."
