Fear(less) Leadership: Excelling Through Uncertainty
In this engaging keynote, Dr. Rebecca leverages decades of research into stress and human behavior to share simple, science-backed techniques for transforming fear (AI disruption, economic uncertainty, talent wars) into the fuel that will propel leaders and their teams to greater confidence, focus, and performance.
This presentation is perfect for leaders and teams:
• Feeling overwhelmed by the stress, challenge, or unpredictable change they’re facing (AI integrations anyone?!)
• Ready to return to performance growth and/or concerned about how failure might be perceived
• Hoping to understand the science behind stress and anxiety better so they can know how to manage it more effectively
• Needing to come together to drive performance forwardThe audience will leave able to:
• Rapidly transform stress and fear into energy that works for, rather than against, them
• Recalibrate their stress response so they can step into uncomfortable changes and challenges
• Adopt an adventure mindset that will fuel their resilience and adaptability in high-pressure situationsThe Stress Advantage: Harnessing the Power of Stress to Boost Performance
We’ve gone through pandemics, supply chain issues, and uncertainty in global markets and now it’s time to get back to work in a world that is moving faster than ever before with even MORE technological changes and opportunities. 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 while trying to integrate new technologies
• Wanting to alleviate stress, but wary of the traditional “stress management” techniques that only add MORE “to do’s” (and stress) to their platesThe 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 workFear(less) Sales
Winning streaks exist. In sports and sales, the winner’s effect is real, measurable, and simple to execute when you understand the science that drives these clutch performances. Welcome to your competitive edge. The Fear(less) Sales framework motivates individuals and teams to find a new peak performance level by harnessing the stress and pressure they feel to work for them (rather than against them). Olympic athletes don’t break world records during practice - they break records when the stress and pressure are at their highest. With a shift in our mindsets, we too can smash records, all while finding deeper meaning and purpose in our work.
This presentation is perfect for leaders and teams:
• Looking to use stress and change as a catalyst for growth

• Develop personalized strategies for transforming pressure into performance
• Tackle tough goals with a positive, fearless approach that builds confidence in both the individual and the team
• Harness the physiological and psychological power of the "winner’s effect"Fear(Less) Mindset: Finding Adventure in Ambiguity
Our brains aren’t built for this rapidly changing world… But they are adaptable.
By consciously crafting a mindset that helps us lean into these challenges rather than treat them as threats, we’ll be able to avoid the burnout, frustration, and turnover that might otherwise plague us and our clients. And, perhaps most importantly, we can deepen the connections we had to the purpose and people that drew us into this industry we love to begin with.
Keynote audiences will leave with tools that enable them to:
• Re-categorize stress as a strength that can drive performance
• Utilize a 3-step scientific technique to shift stress mindsets from ordeal to adventure
• Enable positive communication, ideation, and creative collaborations to lead through ambiguity with a beginner’s mindThe Stress Solution: Transforming Fear Into Rocket Fuel to Supercharge Performance
Stress isn’t inherently bad. In fact, the highest-performing athletes and leaders have learned the secrets to the upside of stress, using it to fuel their performance rather than hinder it.
Rather than allowing our environments and our natural biological tendencies toward anxiety to hold us back, we can use the same energy to work with us, unlocking our highest potential and learning that when we fear(less), we make room for so much more.
Keynote audiences will leave with tools that enable them to:
• Understand the root of our stress response and recalibrate it to work with us in the modern world.
• Engage with our fears to reframe them as energy that can optimize performance.
• Adopt a simple plan for rewiring our brains to respond differently to threats as challenges, to reduce burnout and restore purpose and fulfillment to our work.The All-In Effect: Leading Teams to Excel Through Change

Imagine if you could instead lead from a space that allows you to go ALL-IN, transforming fear into fuel, and allowing you to enhance productivity by more than 25%, stay more focused, more creative, more motivated, and more engaged … all by fearing less. That’s the ALL-IN Effect.
Keynote audiences will leave with tools that enable them to:
• Utilize a 3-step science-backed strategy to recalibrate the stress response to work to your advantage immediately, rather than working against you.
• Discover a key method for harnessing an adventure mindset to become more resilient in high-pressure situations.
