Rebecca Heiss, PhD

We’ve gone through pandemics, supply chain issues, and uncertainty in global markets and now it’s time to get back to work. What if instead of trying to fight stress, we could transform it into a competitive advantage?

In this eye-opening keynote, Dr. Rebecca reveals the secret upside of stress that the highest-performing athletes and leaders use to fuel their performance. Helping to move individuals and companies from symptoms of PTSD to PTG (Post Traumatic Growth), she shares her simple science-based framework that allows anyone to stop fighting stress, and start leaning into it - improving productivity, increasing connection to others, and growing through challenges.

This presentation is perfect for leaders and teams:

• Trying to battle increasing levels of stress, burnout, and disengagement

• Ready to return to performance growth

• Feeling stuck on a treadmill that’s always moving faster

• Wanting to alleviate stress, but wary of the traditional “stress management” techniques that only add MORE “to do’s” (and stress) to their plates

The audience will leave able to:

• Understand the biological root of their stress response and recalibrate that response to work for their benefit in the modern world

• Effectively engage with their fears and reframe them as energy that can optimize performance and growth

• Adopt a simple framework for rewiring their brains so they can respond differently to challenges, reduce burnout, and restore purpose and fulfillment to their work
