Teaching Team
Jennifer Aaker
GENERAL ATLANTIC PROFESSOR
Jennifer Aaker is a behavioral psychologist, author, and the General Atlantic Professor of Marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business. Her research focuses on time, money, and happiness. Unanimously voted the least funny person in her family, Jennifer is definitely not teaching this class out of spite.
NAOMI BAGDONAS
STANFORD LECTURER
Naomi designs and facilities immersive workshops for groups of executives in Deloitte’s Greenhouse. She has trained at Upright Citizens Brigade and BATS, worked at IDEO, and has been making SNL-inspired shorts in her living room since before she could lift the VHS recorder. She has since built muscle mass.
CONNOR DIEMAND-YAUMAN
STANFORD LECTURER
Connor is currently Co-CEO of Merit America, a nonprofit preparing low-wage, underrepresented workers for skilled careers at scale. He’s worked for over a decade in the education sector, starred in a children’s show, published learning science research, and lost on two reality shows. He has more muscle mass than Naomi, and less spite than Jennifer.
Office Hours
By appointment or spontaneous telepathy, per student preference
