The past years have brought increased stress, challenge, and unpredictable change to all industries, resulting in a confidence gap with leaders – afraid to step up, afraid to be vulnerable, afraid that they will flounder.

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:

1. Utilize a 3-step science-backed strategy to recalibrate the stress response to work to your advantage immediately, rather than working against you.
2. Discover a key method for harnessing an adventure mindset to become more resilient in high-pressure situations.
3. Experience an inspired ability to link the challenge of change, to purpose and connection in order to increase engagement across your organization.

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:

1. Re-categorize stress as a strength that can drive performance
2. Utilize a 3-step scientific technique to shift stress mindsets from ordeal to adventure
3. Enable positive communication, ideation, and creative collaborations to lead through ambiguity with a beginner’s mind

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:

1. Understand the root of our stress response and recalibrate it to work with us in the modern world.
2. Engage with our fears to reframe them as energy that can optimize performance.
3. 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.
