“I was very satisfied with Teresa’s speaking ability and knowledge. She is easy to work with and fun! Her content is high quality too. I am a neuroscience nerd and mental health therapist/coach so I appreciated the delivery. The feedback from attendees over the weekend was all super positive and we all walked away with (gold) nuggets! I enjoyed it so much, I made a personal recommendation for her to speak at another NAWBO event!”
Lynda B., VP of National Programs, National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO)
Client Experiences
“I have pretty much read every book, heard every talk or podcast and even delivered workshops on time management, habits/behaviors. I love the way Teresa brought a different approach and some real tangible actions to take away!”
“I just want to listen to your voice as it is melting away my stress!”
“Teresa did a phenomenal job with her talk about moving from stress to success. Now that I am retired, I thought I wasn’t experiencing stress anymore; however I now see ways I am!
The sneaky stressors Teresa talks about were a huge takeaway, as were her ideas around the cycles of time (which made so much sense). Really enjoyed her relaxed style and magnetic presence.”

Signature Talks
Keynote
45 minutes
Why capable leaders lose access to their best thinking under pressure. Teresa tells the story of losing access so completely that a rare stress-induced neurological condition paralyzed half her face, then introduces Reflect, Release, Restore, a practice leaders can use to return to center when it matters most.
Fireside Chat
45 to 60 minutes
A shorter keynote talk followed by facilitated Q&A. Most leaders have spent years getting better at what they do, yet their best thinking turns unreliable when the stakes rise. Teresa draws on neuroscience and her years in the Navy and on Wall Street to show what is really happening, and why the answer has little to do with more effort.
Opening or Closing Talk
12 to 15 minutes
A TEDx-style talk on the variable most leaders never examine: their own internal operating state. Leaders see what they miss before a conversation or decision begins, and what to do about it.
Workshops
Half day or full day
Pair any talk with a workshop where leaders put Reflect, Release, Restore into practice and leave with a shared language for leading under pressure. The full day adds deeper application to your organization’s real challenges.
Corporate Facilitation
Teresa works with leadership teams to build awareness of their operating state, strengthen regulation capacity, and create environments where clear thinking is the norm rather than the exception. Facilitation is grounded in the Reflect, Release, Restore methodology and designed to be immediately applicable in the workplace.
