Keynote Topics:
UNSTUCK: Create Unstoppable Momentum (without burnout)
The reason so many high performers feel stuck isn’t laziness or lack of discipline. It’s biology.
When you don’t know how to use stress as fuel, the brain’s gear system gets stuck. But as soon as you know how to shift your brain’s gears, you can sustain peak performance, drive momentum, and prevent burnout.
If you’ve ever looked at your to-do list and thought “I know what to do… so why can’t I make myself do it?”
That’s not a motivation problem.
That’s a nervous system problem.
And in this high-energy keynote, you’ll learn simple, science-based strategies to get your brain into gear.
Audience Takeaways:
- How to close the gap between “I know what to do” and “I’m done. Nailed it.”
- Why mindset ISN’T everything – and why peak performance needs more than positive thinking.
- Transform stress from something to manage to something to leverage.
- Actionable strategies to beat burnout – no motivation required.
UNSTUCK Leadership: Lead Through Uncertainty with Confidence
The future of work is human, which means leaders need to understand how the human brain works, especially under pressure.
Today’s leaders are navigating constant change, rising stress, and burned-out teams. But burnout isn’t a motivation problem. It’s what happens when your brain gets stuck in the wrong gear for too long.
In this high-energy keynote, licensed neuropsychotherapist and author Britt Frank reveals how leaders can USE stress as fuel, without burning out their teams. Drawing from her acclaimed book The Science of Stuck, Britt shows leaders how their teams can move from overwhelm to momentum, even during uncertainty.
With practical brain-based strategies, including Britt’s powerful “Micro-Yes” method, leaders will walk away knowing how to regulate stress, unlock better thinking, and create forward momentum without pushing people harder.
Audience Takeaways:
- How to close shift gears between Emotional Brain and Logic Brain– without talking about feelings.
- How to talk so your team will listen (and how to listen so your teams feel heard).
- Transform stress from something to manage to something to leverage.
- Actionable strategies to beat burnout – no motivation required.
UNSTUCK: The Brain Science of Stress, Burnout, and Breakthrough
Stress, anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm are at an all-time high. More than 40 million Americans report feeling dissatisfied, exhausted, or stuck in some area of their lives.
But feeling stuck isn’t a character flaw. It’s a brain state.
The good news is that when you understand how the brain works under stress, you can learn to shift it.
Human behavior expert and licensed neuropsychotherapist Britt Frank literally wrote the book on stuckness. Her bestselling book The Science of Stuck (Penguin Random House) has been named a must-read by Forbes, NPR, SHRM, New York Magazine, and Esquire, and her work reaches millions through her writing and media appearances.
Using a powerful blend of neuroscience, humor, and stories from her own remarkable journey through addiction and anxiety, Britt cuts through the noise and delivers simple tools people can use immediately to regulate stress, break through burnout, and move forward.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
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.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
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.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
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 and other costs
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.
Deposits and securing a booking
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.
