FEAR(LESS) STRESS STRATEGY:
Shifting stress mindsets at EO to optimize performance and deepen purpose
Stop trying to reduce stress. The stress management techÂniques that people have been sharing for years not only don't help, but often, they can hurt our performance!
Stress isn't going anywhere.
Instead of fighting to be rid of it, we need to find ways to utilize our stress as a springboard that can launch us to our highest level of performance.
Bring on the presÂsures of change, fears of failure and the ambiguous unknowns of the future! BUT FIRST...WE NEED A STRESS STRATEGY!
As an award-winning stress physiologist with research desigÂnated transformative by the National Science Foundation, I have dedicated my life to challenging the stress mindsets of elite performers, leaders, and teams across the globe. My suÂperpower is in taking complex brain and behavioral research and breaking it down to simple actionable (and entertaining) takeaways that anyone can put into practice immediately.
ToÂgether we can transform fear into fuel using my T-3 framework to immediately build an effective new brain pathway. The results? Increased performance and productivity, greater connection with others, leaning into purpose, and an enhanced ability to learn and grow from challenges. Rather than avoiding trauma and stress, when we embrace it with T-3 we can transform our panic and overwhelm into energy that propels us to our highest level of purpose, performance, and joy. Rather than disengaging, we lean into the adventure of stress, with increased creativity and a greater sense of control, even when the future feels uncertain. Fueled by stress, an indiÂvidual and/or organization becomes fear(less), resilient, and caÂpable of thriving through change, with everyone 3x more likely to be focused and accomplishing more in less time, 2x less likely to make mistakes and miscommunicate, and more than 1.5x less likely to consider leaving the organization.

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 framework for rewiring our brains to respond differently to threats as challenges, to reduce burnout and restore purpose and fulfilment to our work.
What others are saying about Dr. Rebecca:
Tina Stevens, Secondary Solutions Executive Conference
“Rebecca blew the doors off!! When she was speaking you could hear the air vents. I have never had that experience before. I looked around and saw tears, mouths hanging open, and total inspiration on people's faces!”
Carol Wittlieb-Weber, MD, Children's Hospital of Philadephia
Energetic and empowering! We were fortunate to have Dr. Rebecca Heiss as our keynote speaker for National Women Physician’s Day and we are still talking about our experience and using the practical tools that she gave us to help conquer our fears. Her talk was a lot of fun but also very informative and relatable. Her ability to form such a strong connection with our large group in a virtual setting (given the pandemic) speaks to her engaging personality and passion for sharing her fear(less) mindset.’
Elif Somay, VISA
"Rebecca's expertise, approachability, and vulnerability allowed us to craft an event that was beyond my hopes for what we could achieve. The outpouring of feedback from her session is truly profound and the positive impact Rebecca made will impact our global leaders for years to come."

“Rebecca was awesome! Her talk was the highlight of the week; I’ve heard this from several people today. I like to wait a few days to see how I (and others) digest new material…it is simple exuberance that wears off after a couple days or is it sticky…Rebecca’s material has been sticky!

Sandeep Ramchandani,

"Dr Heiss was awesome. She developed a small legion of fans here via her infectious energy even virtually. The (often reserved) engineering team really loved her actionable insights and even after a grueling day, she managed to get us engrossed, entertained and enriched."
Susan Shingledecker, Earth Science Information Partners - ESIP
"Rebecca was terrific! Our community really enjoyed her remarks both at the time (and I’m happy to update that a month later, Rebecca’s takeaways continue to change the entire conversation for our teams around how we handle stress and change and the language we use to address both!). I really appreciate how she engaged the crowd, even through the virtual platform and her customization.  Her energy and commitment really shone through not just at the event but after as she continued to engage with our community and follow up to answer questions they had during a post-event Q&A.  I cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough!"
Amanda McBee,
COO, Consolidated Assurance
“Rebecca's keynote was dynamic, thought-provoking and action inspiring. It resonated with me and our team in such positive ways, causing us to really look at the blindspots and specific ways to create behavior change in both our lives and businesses. We received more positive feedback from her talk and requests for a copy of her talk than any of the other speakers.”
Sarah Wirth,
President of Ecsell Institute
“Rebecca was a phenomenal speaker for our leadership conference. We had leaders from a wide variety of industries and positions in attendance, and she created a lasting impact on all of them with her humor, intelligence and practical insights. While the information she shared about stress was rooted in science, she never made it boring or stuffy. She made us all laugh constantly and engaged the audience through her interactive exercises. Most importantly, we all walked away with some simple, practical tips we could use to handle stress more effectively. We’ve had dozens and dozens of speakers present at our conference over the years and Rebecca was easily one of my top five favorite speakers we’ve ever had. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”
