“Dr. Heiss was absolutely a joy to work with! She was super communicative, professional, and forthcoming with ideas. Dr. Heiss was even more impressive in person as she brought all of the joy, energy and passion to the stage. She made scientific heavy terms accessible to all the attendees and brought all the stories to life. Her sessions absolutely rocked! In addition, she went over and above with her time and is just an amazing person. She really helped make our conference a complete success and I can’t wait to work with her again!”

WHAT DO CLIENTS SAY
About Rebecca
“Rebecca was simply amazing! I loved her passion for the topic and her presentation style. Very effective and memorable information.”
“The energy and humor you brought to the main stage captured the hearts and minds of our attendees. Not only was your presentation memorable, it was very actionable.”
“By being “real” and entertaining at the same time, Dr. Heiss inspired us all to not “let fear hold us back”. Just remembering that one quote has given us all the confidence to keep pushing forward. The positive energy that Dr. Heiss created in the room was the perfect start for the SC Women’s Business Summit.”
“Rebecca was instrumental in guiding our team to the next level of growth during our last annual training event. She provided a great value to each individual, that they were able to take with them after the event”
“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.”
KEYNOTE Topics
FEAR(LESS) LEADERSHIP
Leading with Awe
Our brains aren’t built for optimal performance, happiness, or inspired leadership. They are built simply to keep us alive. The result? We avoid difficult conversation, and confrontations, workers are disengaged, and we exist our way through work and live. MEH. But the solution lies within each of us. Rather than allowing our biology to hold us back, we can use it to work for us, unlocking our highest potential and learning that we fear(leads), we make room for so much more.
Keynote audiences will leave with tools that enable them to:
- Identify and break through personal biological barriers to optimal performance
- Evaluate and neutralize subconscious fears that prevent them from playing all in
- Utilize awe in place of fear to drive performance, collaboration, and engagement
FEAR(LESS) MINDSET
Finding Adventure in Ambiguity
Our brains believe the stories we tell them. Without conscious effort, they are negativity-seeking missiles, but we have the power to change that. Rather than allowing our stress to spiral resulting in decreased performance and an array of health problems, we can use our biology to work with us, turning stress into a positive experience that pushes us into better outcomes.
Keynote audiences will leave with tools that enable them to:
- Re-categorize stress as a strength that can drive performance
- Utilize a 3-step scientific technique to shift stress mindsets from ordeal to adventure
- Enable positive communication, ideation, and creative collaborations to lead through ambiguity with a beginner’s mind
FEAR(LESS) DIVERSITY
Celebrations & Critical Conversations
No blame. No finger pointing. No guilt. Fear(less) Diversity is all about not running away from the critical conversations we need to better understand the instincts and systems that drive us to carry bias. No matter our background, we all carry some shortcuts and biases about others (and ourselves!). It doesn’t make us bad people – it makes us human! But when we understand the programming that drive these stories, we can be more effective in intervening before they negatively affect out relationships and performance.
Keynote audiences will leave with tools that enable them to:
- Understand the root of subconscious bias and stories that lead to unproductive behaviours
- Engage with these fear in difficult conversations
- Adopt a clear common external enemy to decrease internal conflict and increase cooperation and connection
