" With everything that happened with the pandemic, our department was facing a lot of challenges with our staff. Primarily, stress levels and balancing the "new" normal with still holding people accountable for success. Britt's workshop really put a whole new perspective on the way we work with our people. From understanding the biology of what is happening when people are stressed and feel stuck, to walking us through tools and techniques to help get people moving again, Britt made the whole experience fun and thoroughly engaging. Even better, we have been able to implement these tools successfully into everything we do and have seen a dramatic lift to our employee's productivity and morale. Can not sing her praises enough and would highly recommend other companies to invite her to speak. You won't regret it!!"

“Britt captured the audience’s attention from the start! She quickly gained the trust of the attendees who gave her their undivided attention which is quite an accomplishment in front of an audience of realtors who we describe as having the attention span of a goldfish. Britt weaves her personal story into her presentation and gives solid tools that people can use immediately to get out of being stuck. She doesn’t sugarcoat the process or say it’s easy but instead, helps us understand what our brain is trying to tell us and how it is trying to protect us. Understanding that can help move away from shame and guilt into resolution and responsibility. In today’s anxiety riddled world where we all feel a little anxious and crazy from time to time, I can encourage any organization to engage Britt as a speaker. We feel that her keynote contributed to the mental health of our people at a time when mental health help is needed. Our audience ranked her among the best speakers we’ve ever had and bringing her message to your people is a gift to them and their families.”

“What a phenomenal presentation from •Britt Frank, LSCSW, SEP!” One takeaway that really stuck: lead with less empathy, and more curiosity. When we approach others with genuine curiosity, we open the door to deeper connection and understanding—without assuming we already know what they need. I also learned how our brains often perceive change—even positive change—as a threat, and how building momentum through small wins or “micro yeses” can lead to meaningful, lasting transformation. Grateful for the insights and looking forward to applying them in my work and leadership.”

"I often share a picture of an iceberg with a small portion of the ice above water and a large mass under the surface when discussing work/life balance and interacting with people. More importantly, what is going on in people’s lives that are unknown not only to others... but in some instances to themselves. There is not a manual with instructions to life. Britt Frank, LCSW, SEP does an exceptional job of breaking down the obstacles that hinder us from being our best self personally and professionally every day. The comments and continued conversations we have had and continue to have tell me Britt has tapped into something special. Thank you, Britt!"

Keynote by Britt Frank:
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.
