Dr. E is on a mission to change the global conversation around our limiting beliefs, anxiety and stress, which she refers to as The Red Zone. Based on research from her new book Get Out of the Red Zone: Transform Your Success and Optimize True Success, she reminds us that now is the time to prioritize our well-being by accessing new approaches to manage and mitigate stress in healthy ways.
Think about this: We have about 60,000 thoughts swirling in our heads each day. That’s 60,000 ideas, assumptions, attitudes, concerns, expectations, perceptions, interpretations, and beliefs. Add to that the constant uncertainty and anxiety that we can feel on any given day and it is easy to see how stress can take hold of us in a flash. And that stress is having deep effects on people’s mental health as well as productivity. At the end of the day, we all want to feel productive and happy. We want to know that we are doing valuable work and that we are being valued, but if we are all approaching each day with varying levels of stress that often cause us to shut down and shut people out, where does that leave our true potential?
Get Out of the Red Zone shows us a new way to communicate with ease to overcome distressing moments and conversations. The book is a game-changer for many because it provides tools that you can use with consistency to recognize varying levels of stress, destigmatize conversations around mental health, and apply more effective communication tactics with your colleagues and loved ones during those difficult periods. It details a science-driven methodology which encourages individuals to follow a new way of thinking when they are experiencing anxiety producing thoughts.
Dr. E’s focus on science-based tools for positive thinking and action extends in other areas of focus, including her role as President of EleVive, a company geared toward providing teens and their parents the tools needed to flourish in all areas of their lives: academics, social relationships, sports, performing arts and more. Dr. E also offers Concierge Coaching where she works with individuals to create sustainable change. Her unique tactics include ways to better formulate resilience and how to communicate much more productively when in the right frame of mind.
Dr. E continues to be a go-to resource for media outlets and has done over 100 national TV and radio appearances on shows such as Good Morning America, Dr. Oz, The TODAY Show, Steve Harvey, CNN, Fox Business News and others. She has contributed to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, SUCCESS, Fast Company, Huffington Post, Forbes and other respected publications.
Dr. E has guided a number of Fortune 500 companies, presenting large-scale opening keynotes as well as running smaller workshops and exclusive executive roundtables. Previous clients include: Coca-Cola, Oppenheimer, Westinghouse, Solo Cup, NBC Universal, Deloitte, UBS, Lincoln Financial and many others.
See keynotes with Dr. Elizabeth LombardoThe Red Zone is a state of being where heightened stress tips a person out of alignment. For most of us, stress used to gradually build toward this tipping point, but these days people almost feel as though they are on an emotional seesaw. Stress is affecting us at work and at home with a regularity that is leaving many paralyzed.
In this keynote, Clinical Psychologist and Transformative Speaker on Positive Psychology Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo (Dr. E) takes the audience on a journey to explore the Red Zone, applying her research-driven approach which breaks down the emotional obstacles we face each day and provides strategic tactics to better manage them. She explains how mindset can change in the Red Zone vs. the Green Zone, how individuals can identify when a shift is needed, and how it can be leveraged for greater communication and success at work and home.
Her simple, yet unique method provides participants with a new “language” to gauge how they are feeling and provides different strategies to effectively lead themselves and others out of the Red Zone. Leaders find this talk invaluable as it helps them identify signs when they or their employees may be stressed out or need additional support. What’s most compelling about the Red Zone model for overcoming stress, is that it is something that can be done with consistency and when best practices become routines, that is when we can truly transform as people and organizations
Key Takeaways:
Research shows that stress costs American companies over $300 billion in absenteeism, poor engagement, turnover, health insurance, and other stress-related expenses (and that was before COVID-19). While we may be home-bound, many are still working (or trying to work), and companies still need to run. So, how can you help your team or organization engaged despite the turmoil our world is facing?
Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo provides these learning objectives:
During these unprecedented times, we need strong leaders now more than ever. And yet, how can you
lead during such uncertainty and turmoil? Luckily, great leaders are not necessarily born but rather can
be created by applying empirically-supported strategies. Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo, America’s Most-
Trusted Celebrity Psychologist, trains leaders around the world to optimize their skills, even during
difficult times.
If your team, organization or group is looking to boost their effectiveness at helping others cope with
stress, be more engaged and productively work towards common goals, this presentation is for you!
Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo provides these learning objectives:
Financial stress. Social isolation. Staying at home with family you love but with whom you prefer having
just dinner (not breakfast, lunch and dinner). A shortage of toilet paper. Oh, and COVID-19. Stress rates
are at an all-time high. Stress not only feels bad but can also be detrimental to every facet of your life.
Your immune system can get depleted so you cannot fight off infections as easily. Individual stress can
negatively impact your relationships. And a stressed brain results in decreased productivity, creativity
and overall engagement, which diminishes one’s ability to optimally work. That’s the bad news.
The good news is there are steps you can take to better manage your stress and its side effects
regardless of what is going on.
Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo provides these learning objectives:
Dr. Lombardo’s strategies will help you get out of your own way to create the life you want—one that’s filled with happiness and success. I highly recommend..!”

At The Oprah Winfrey Show, I met many transformational speakers and authors, and I can say with assurance that Dr. Lombardo’s path to change is a phenomenal one. Let her show you how to get out of your own way, and get the most out of life!
Candi Carter
"Elizabeth Lombardo spoke as a keynote during the Women's Foodservice Forum's Annual Conference and was imperative to the impact of the event. Her session on "Leadership from the Inside Out" resonated so well with our attendees that she had people following her to other appearances throughout the conference. Elizabeth's positive, upbeat delivery style is truly a great asset to any speaker lineup."
Hattie Hill, President and CEO
"Everyone sitting at my CRLA Finalist table on Thursday (all past winners/long-time MPI active members) commented on how excellent Elizabeth was as a speaker. Content, speaking, engagement, professionalism and so much more stood out as a speaker… We all feel she would be a fabulous Keynote for another event. That comes from my 27 MPI years. while attending probably 20 PEC/WEC’s and evaluating speakers there along with the rest of my tablemates with the same MPI participation."

Confidence is a word often used to describe strong leadership. But in working with clients for over 20 years, I have come to find there’s something even more important. When I coach executives, present keynotes and moderate workshops, I am struck over and over by the importance of something deeper: self-worth.
Self-worth refers to how you view your sense of worth or value as a person, and it impacts every interaction you have. Self-worth presents itself as conditional or unconditional.
Most people in our society tend to have conditional self-worth. Conditional self-worth means “I believe in myself IF…” As in: “I believe in myself:
IF I win this argument.”
IF people agree with me.”
IF people look up to me.”
IF I have a certain title.”
IF I look a certain way.”
Leaders with conditional self-worth may appear confident, but the quality of their sense of worth makes them rather poor leaders. For example, leaders with conditional self-worth operate from a win-lose position. So they believe, “if I win then you lose” and “if you win then I lose.” They are in constant competition not only with another business or brand but within their own team and company. They view other people’s successes as indicative of their own failures. They’re more likely to criticize the people who work with them and point out what they do wrong as opposed to highlight and support what they do right. They view differences of opinions as a threat to their ego. As such, they create an environment where creative ideas are not shared. And feedback from others is interpreted as an insult or threat, rather than a constructive way to improve. Not necessarily the kind of leader you want to have in your organization.
In contrast, people with unconditional self-worth believe in themselves based on their values and strengths. They’re very comfortable with who they are and, as a result, very comfortable with other people’s differences. Instead of having the need to be better than someone else, they accept other people for who they are. In fact, I do a lot of diversity training in organizations, and I can tell you that you cannot create an environment that is truly open to diversity unless you address conditional self-worth.
Leaders with unconditional self-worth and operate from a win- win position. They want to succeed and they want to see the people around them succeed. They operate on the notion that a rising tide lifts all ships. Leaders with unconditional self-worth highlight the positives in others, and they welcome feedback. They possess a mindset based in the spirit of continuous improvement, “I’m good and I can keep getting better.”
Confident leaders can have conditional self-worth, but they lack the mindset to be a truly good leader. The key is really to enhance and embrace unconditional self-worth. And the beauty is it’s a very teachable skill. As a coach and a speaker, I teach people how to cultivate their unconditional self-worth.
