Senia Maymin

When Dr. Senia Maymin joined Turntide, it was the ultimate complement to our work. For decades, she has been at the forefront of the positive psychology revolution, which serves as the foundation of our Positive Intelligence (PQ) framework designed to achieve human flourishing. Senia is a global leader in the field and is often called upon as an expert in strategy, motivation, team productivity, and countless other topics. She is the co-author of the best-selling business book Profit from the Positive and has coached CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies. For the past eight years, she ran Silicon Valley Change as founder and CEO with a team of more than 80 coaches, providing strategy, consulting, and coaching for multinational clients, including Logitech, Sony PlayStation, and departments of the U.S. Air Force. Senia and her work have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and USA Today.

Her background includes earning her Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior at Stanford (where, for her thesis, she developed coaching frameworks that work even when people are stuck on reaching a goal), founding and running Positive Psychology News Daily (featuring more than 100 authors), hosting more than 200 episodes of her Believe show on counterintuitive tools to help at work and in life, being in the first cohort of Martin Seligman’s Masters of Applied Positive Psychology, and receiving her undergraduate degree in math and economics from Harvard.
