Dr. Alia Crum is a psychologist, storyteller, and award-winning scientist whose work reveals a simple but transformative insight: when we change our beliefs, we can change our lives. A Stanford professor and Director of the Mind & Body Lab, she brings cutting-edge research on stress, performance, and the mind–body connection to some of the world’s most influential companies and institutions. Her studies, podcasts, and viral TED talk have reached millions and reshaped public understanding of the mind’s role in health, behavior, and human potential.

What distinguishes Dr. Crum as a speaker is her rare ability to blend rigorous science with warmth, clarity, and hope. She shows audiences that mindsets are not soft concepts but measurable, trainable forces that shape physiology, performance, leadership, and culture. Her forthcoming book illuminates how beliefs form, how they become self-fulfilling, and how they can be redesigned to create healthier, more resilient individuals and organizations
