Yira's Bio
Dr. Yira (“Jee-da”) Muse served more than 25 years as a commissioned U.S. Air Force officer, with leadership experience across space, cyber, and nuclear operations. During a demanding command assignment, she saw a clear gap: people in high-stress environments weren’t being equipped with practical tools to protect cognitive well-being and sustain performance. That insight led her to pursue doctoral research in Hope Science and apply it to the real leadership challenges she faced in—and beyond—the military. Today, Dr. Muse speaks and trains on Hope Science for diverse audiences, including HR professionals, K–12 school counselors, Vistage Worldwide peer advisory and CEO groups, military veterans, hospital administrators, and senior citizens.
