Keynote Topics:

The future of business belongs to organizations where people know they matter.

In a world defined by change, pressure, and the rise of AI, the human element is the ultimate differentiator. Technology can automate tasks but it cannot create trust, purpose, or the power of feeling valued.

​When people feel seen, valued, and important, engagement rises, collaboration deepens, and innovation accelerates. Teams perform with greater creativity, commitment, and resilience. Culture thrives and metrics move from retention and productivity to profitability.

In this research-backed keynote, psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo reveals how to make mattering your competitive edge. Through her Mattering Multipliers™ Framework, she shares practical, science-based tools leaders can use immediately to build cultures where people and performance flourish.

​When people know they matter, they give their best. When organizations lead with mattering, everyone rises..

Actionable Takeaways
​

  • Build a Culture of Mattering: Boost engagement, innovation, and retention by ensuring every team member feels seen, valued, and essential.
  • Elevate Leadership Impact: Equip leaders with tools to foster trust, accountability, and high performance across every level of the organization.
  • Turn Culture into a Competitive Advantage: Leverage mattering to increase productivity, strengthen collaboration, and improve profitability.
  • Activate the Mattering Multipliers™: Apply Dr. E’s evidence-based framework to create measurable, lasting improvements in morale and results.
  • Transform Uncertainty into Opportunity: Strengthen adaptability, resilience, and purpose so your organization thrives through any change.

Neuroscience reveals that mindset, not circumstance, is the real competitive advantage.

​Today’s workplace runs hot. Demands are high, uncertainty is constant, and people are operating at their limits. Research shows that over 90 percent of employees report being in the Red Zone frequently, and 70 percent say they feel burned out. These are not just statistics. They reveal a costly state that drains focus, creativity, and collaboration.

​The Red Zone is more than stress. It is a neurological state where the brain’s threat response takes control, reducing clarity, empathy, and problem-solving. When leaders and teams operate in this state, performance declines, communication breaks down, and culture weakens.

In this transformative, science-based keynote, psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo reveals how to recognize, prevent, and reverse the Red Zone before it erodes results. Using her patented Three Step Formula, she teaches leaders and teams to retrain the brain under pressure, turning stress into clarity, confidence, and connection.

​Organizations that apply these tools see stronger communication, greater innovation, and cultures that thrive even in high-pressure environments. When people get out of the Red Zone, they do not just manage stress. They unlock their full capacity to lead, perform, and succeed.

Actionable Takeaways
​

  • Recognize Red Zone Triggers: Spot pressure patterns fast and shift from reaction to response.
  • Apply Dr. E’s Three Step Formula: Use neuroscience to reset the brain and boost clarity and communication.
  • Build Green Zone Habits: Create daily rituals that sustain focus, collaboration, and calm.
  • Turn Pressure into Performance: Channel challenge into growth, innovation, and measurable results.
  • Strengthen Organizational Resilience: Empower teams to stay confident, connected, and high-performing under any condition.

Happiness at Work to Accelerate Results
Happiness is vital to the success of an organization.

Harvard research shows that happier employees experience a 31% increase in productivity, a 37% increase in sales and 15 less sick days/year. The beauty is that happiness is a skill that can be learned with this powerful training.

Learning Objectives:

  • Modify the impact of an individual’s inner critic to the culture of the organization
  • Recognize the powerful role of happiness in accelerating results and gaining an organizational competitive edge

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
