Jenn Lim biography
Jenn Lim is one of the world’s leading authorities on workplace culture, a bestselling author, executive coach, and the CEO and co-founder of Delivering Happiness, the consultancy and global movement she built with the late Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos. For more than two decades she has helped organizations create cultures rooted in purpose, wellbeing, and sustainable profit, proving that happier people and stronger business results go hand in hand.
Happiness speaker Jenn Lim first shaped the field of corporate culture long before it became a boardroom priority. While consulting for Zappos, she created the company’s first Culture Book, launching what became the world’s first series of Culture Books and a widely studied example of how businesses can scale happiness and profitability together. That work laid the foundation for Delivering Happiness, which began as a bestselling book and evolved into a consultancy that has since worked with hundreds of organizations worldwide.
She is the author of two influential books. Delivering Happiness, co-created with Tony Hsieh, became a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller; together with her own book, Beyond Happiness, the two have sold over a million copies and been translated into roughly 30 languages.
From the Zappos Culture Book to Beyond Happiness
In Beyond Happiness: How Authentic Leaders Prioritize Purpose and People for Growth and Impact, named a top business book by Forbes, Lim translates decades of culture and strategy work into a practical framework. Through her Greenhouse Method and her Me, We, Community model, she shows how aligning individual purpose with organizational mission strengthens engagement, retention, and performance. Selected to the Global Happiness Council for Work and Wellbeing, she has led DH onto the Inc. 5000 list and been featured in Forbes, Fortune, Inc., and Harvard Business Review.
As a speaker, Jenn Lim brings rare authenticity, humor, and scientific rigor to the stage, having presented everywhere from the United Nations and TEDx to major corporate events worldwide. Audiences leave her keynotes with practical, science-backed tools to lead through constant change, combat burnout, build belonging, and turn “this is just a job” into “this is a place I belong,” all while strengthening the bottom line.
