  • Feeling overwhelmed by the stress, challenge, or unpredictable change they’re facing
  • Ready to return to performance growth and/or concerned about how failure might be perceived

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. 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

A journey to the most powerful version of yourself

This inspiring keynote incorporates science, storytelling, and audience improv to guide participants past the “shoulds” and “not enoughs” in their heads to own their role as protagonists of their own lives. Using a potent combination of science and heart, Dr. Rebecca motivates anyone to become the best versions of themselves – the version that their 8 (and 88) year old self would be proud of.

This presentation is perfect for leaders and teams:
 

  • Struggling with negative self-talk and limiting expectations
  • Feeling like imposters in their lives but unsure how to feel fully authentic
  • Wanting to bring more purpose and meaning to the work they do
  • Needing to come together to drive performance forward
     

The audience will leave able to:
 

  • Cultivate an empowered sense of self and deeper connection to others in any situation
  • Understand how challenges, changes, and stress can lead to greater purpose and fulfillment in their lives
  • Develop their own unique Superpower and show up “all in” as their authentic selves to help others.

Dr. Rebecca Heiss | Stress Management

Expertise and Background

Dr. Rebecca Heiss is not just a speaker; she is a scientist dedicated to unlocking the potential of human biology to improve performance in the workplace.

Her work is grounded in the latest scientific discoveries, yet she presents it in a way that is accessible, engaging, and directly applicable to everyday challenges.

At the core of Dr. Heiss’s message is the idea that our biological instincts, while powerful, are often outdated in today’s modern workplace.

Through her presentations, Dr. Heiss helps organizations understand these biological triggers and provides strategies to overcome them. By fostering self-awareness and intentional behavior, she empowers leaders and teams to break free from their “ancient wiring” and create a culture of innovation and trust.

Dr. Rebecca Heiss has successfully implemented her science-based strategies in a wide range of industries, from tech startups to Fortune 500 companies. Her work has transformed the way leaders approach decision-making, communication, and team dynamics. For example, she has worked with executives to reduce stress and enhance focus by understanding the biological roots of their reactions. She has also helped teams improve collaboration by recognizing and mitigating unconscious biases that can hinder effective communication. Her practical, science-driven approach has led to measurable improvements in productivity, employee engagement, and overall organizational performance.

Dr. Rebecca Heiss’s passion for her work stems from a deep belief in the potential for science to solve real-world problems. She is driven by the desire to help individuals and organizations thrive by understanding and harnessing their biological strengths. Her approach is rooted in empathy and a genuine commitment to making a positive impact.

Whether she’s speaking to a group of leaders or working one-on-one with clients, her goal is always the same: to empower people to take control of their biology and use it to their advantage.
