Dr Larry Senn is the founder of Senn Delaney, the culture shaping unit of Heidrick & Struggles. He has been referred to in business journals as the Father of Corporate Culture, based on his field research: the first systematic study ever conducted on the concept of corporate culture. His studies were published as his doctoral dissertation in 1970. This led him to an early personal vision of finding a way to enhance the lives of people, the effectiveness of teams, and the spirit and performance of organizations. That vision became Senn Delaney, the first firm dedicated to shaping the culture of organizations.

Senn Delaney has worked with over 100 Fortune 500 CEOs and their teams, university presidents, state governors, and members of U.S. presidential cabinets. He is also co-author of several books, including the best-selling Winning Teams, Winning Cultures and 21st Century Leadership. Larry has a B.S. in Engineering, an M.B.A. from UCLA, and a doctorate degree in Business Administration from USC, where he later served as faculty. He was a finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year in Southern California.

Larry’s passion for health and fitness started with his interest in sports during high school and college. He was team captain and the Pac 10 champion in gymnastics at UCLA, and coached UCLA gymnastics after graduation. Today Larry runs, swims, bikes, lifts weights, water skis, rides off-road motorcycles, and stand-up paddles. He competed in his first sprint triathlon at the age of 70, and has completed over 50 triathlons in the more than ten years since, including first place wins in Long Beach, Newport Beach, Redondo Beach, and Hermosa Beach in his age group last year.

Larry is a husband, father, and grandfather. He lives in Sunset Beach, California, with his wife, Bernadette, and their teenage son Logan, who is mentioned often in the book. The Senn family has a deep commitment to family, faith, fitness, and well-being. Larry and his wife, Bernadette, have five children and five grandchildren, all of who share an equal passion for family, well-being, and personal growth. Bernadette retired from Senn Delaney to be a full-time mother. She was SVP HR at Senn Delaney and was co-author with Larry of an earlier book, The Human Operating System – An Owner’s Manual.

Larry’s personal purpose is to help an ever-widening circle of people live life at their best mentally, emotionally, physically, and purposefully. That purpose led him to add the Mood Elevator as a concept to Senn Delaney culture-shaping seminars, which have reached tens of thousands of people and to write this book to reach even more.

Will Steiner was fortunate enough to spend nearly 6 years cutting his teeth at Salesforce across strategy, growth, and partnership roles. Now he spends almost all of his time working on his startup, Big Later.

The company provides an email-based learning experience directly to individuals and through employers to improve financial literacy in the Millennial and Gen Z workforce. The upside is young people are more equipped to build generational wealth, make the most use of their company benefits, and avoid financial stress. Plus they get lots of laughs along the way. It's a high-leverage education delivered in a super entertaining format that Will couldn't be more proud of what they're building.

A weird thing to come out of this is that Will now occupies a funny little niche; he's the guy on the internet who knows WAY too much about email-based courses. They're tremendously powerful, easy and fast to create (with a good playbook), and low cost. It's a tasty little cocktail and he enjoys sharing what he's learned in the process of building multiple successful EBCs.

You can find Big Later at BigLater.com, see more at EmailBasedCourse.com and you can follow Will on Twitter @BigWillieStein

Bringing the universe closer to people and vice versa is her personal mission.

The kick-off was in 2011 when Nancy gave training to a future private astronaut from Virgin Galactic.

In 2018 she founded the "Space Training Academy".

Nancy was the commander and chief organizer of the Mars simulation mission "MDRS90". She initiated this project, submitted it to Mars Society - NASA and obtained permission to lead a team on a "Mars Simulation Mission" at the "Mars Desert Research Station" in Utah, U.S.A.

During the mission, she learned how to conduct science experiments during a mission and what to do in an emergency.

As a scientist, Nancy has conducted research at the University of Antwerp (Biomedical Physics) and at the Technical University of Delft (new technologies for greener air traffic). For the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium / Solar-Terrestrial Center of Excellence, Nancy Vermeulen collaborated on a new instrument to measure climate change from space. She also teaches physics and mathematics.

As a child, Nancy already knew what she wanted to be: "Spaceman". In her spare time, she worked at the Public Observatory and the Planetarium of Antwerp. She completed her academic study Physics and Astronomy at the University of Antwerp magna cum laude / with great distinction.

Nancy Vermeulen is a Master of Science in Physics.
