Bruce CryerCo-Founder, What Makes Your Heart Sing?; CEO, Lissa Rankin, Inc.; Senior Advisor, HeartMath; Senior Fellow, Samueli Institute

Bruce Cryer is a leadership coach and consultant, author, speaker, and co-founder of What Makes Your Heart Sing. For eleven years he served as CEO of the internationally acclaimed HeartMath, an innovative research‐based firm offering scientifically-validated products and award‐winning technology to boost performance, productivity and health while reducing stress. In September 2014 he became CEO for Lissa Rankin, Inc., working closely with founder Dr Lissa Rankin, NY Times bestselling author of “Mind Over Medicine” and the forthcoming “The Fear Cure”. Bruce is deeply honored and excited to join Lissa’s phenomenal team of visionaries, health care leaders, skilled coaches, and humanitarians.

Bruce’s clients have included Kaiser Permanente, Mayo Clinic, Stanford University, the NHS (UK), HP, NASA, Boeing, L’Oreal, and the Samueli Institute. He is co‐author of the book “From Chaos to Coherence: The Power to Change Performance” and the Harvard Business Review article “Pull the Plug on Stress”. Bruce has been a faculty member of the Stanford Executive Program since 1997, Stanford’s Health Improvement Program since 2008, and was named a Top 50 Thought Leader in Personal Excellence. He has been interviewed for or written in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Inc. magazine, Fast Company, Modern Healthcare, Leadership Excellence, and medical journals such as Stress Medicine as well as many other business and health publications. A series of major health challenges convinced Bruce to transition to a variety of new roles more closely matching his passions. A former actor/singer/dancer on Broadway, he has revived his singing and dancing skills as a “keynote performer” helping audiences align your work with what is most alive and inspired in your heart.

“Bruce has made a fantastic contribution to the Stanford Executive Program (SEP) over the past twelve years. His insights and practical methodology on how to develop executive coherence provide leaders with both the confidence and the strategies to approach the challenges of change with a minimal level of stress and an optimal level of effectiveness. Bruce has unusual skill in his ability to articulate sophisticated research concepts, effectively share practical skills and essential tools while being emotionally engaging and personal. Our SEP participants are some of the best and brightest leaders in the world and they benefit both for managing large, complicated organizations around the world as well as for managing themselves. I am not surprised that Bruce’s program is so widely accepted and praised.”

~ Bev Smith, Administrative Director, Stanford Executive Program
