Eliz Greene

Keynote Speaker: Heart Attack Survivor, Job Stress Researcher, Female Motivational & Business Speaker

Eliz Greene Biography

Eliz Greene is a renowned keynote speaker specializing in stress management and resilience. Her unique perspective is informed by her personal health experiences, including surviving a heart attack at age 35 while seven months pregnant with twins. These events not only tested her resilience but also propelled her to dedicate her career to teaching others how to manage stress effectively.

With a surgically repaired heart, Greene understands that stress management is an essential survival skill. Just days after her heart stopped, and following open heart surgery and a cesarean section delivery, Greene's experience of holding her daughters together for the first time solidified her commitment. She now uses her story to inspire others to prioritize their health amidst their busy lives. For nearly two decades, she has traveled the country sharing her insights and research-backed methods to improve heart health and resilience in the workplace.

Greene's practical and implementable strategies stem from her extensive research, including a collaboration on job stress with an emeritus Ph.D. level researcher from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Her book, "Stress-Proof Your Life," embodies these strategies. Furthermore, her work extends to developing specific programs for high-performance teams in high-pressure occupations, such as those at NASA. Her interactive keynotes incorporate the "Stress Proof Testing Tool," which customizes her presentations to address the audience's specific stress-related challenges. A seasoned spokesperson, Greene has supported public health campaigns including the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women initiative and the Take Cholesterol To Heart Campaign. Her efforts in public advocacy have also led to significant community health policies, including the smoking ban in Wisconsin.

Greene is a respected author and influential voice on stress and heart health, evidenced by her recognition as one of the Top Online Influencers on these topics. She continues to be a sought-after speaker at various national events and a favorite Go Red speaker. In addition to her professional commitments, Greene is trained as an adaptive movement specialist and incorporates these skills into her programs, emphasizing active stress recovery techniques used by high-performance athletes. She also enjoys sailing on Lake Michigan with her husband, Clay, and values the time spent with their adult daughters.

Navigating the Storm: Your Guide Through the Sea of Uncertainty

Change is happening! No matter who you voted for, the current landscape of political unrest, economic fluctuations, workplace shifts, and personal challenges has created an unprecedented level of uncertainty.

This heightened uncertainty is a breeding ground for stress. The human brain naturally seeks stability, but when confronted with the unknown, it triggers a stress response, hindering focus, critical thinking, and progress.

Without the right tools, individuals and teams can become stagnant, disengaged, and overwhelmed. It’s now more crucial than ever for organizations to arm their people with effective strategies to combat the stress of unpredictability and transform chaos into confidence.

This talk blends insights from Eliz Green's stress research with real-life lessons from the helm of a sailboat on Lake Michigan. It's packed with practical, science-based tools to help people lead, perform, and live well—especially when nothing feels predictable.

Stress-Proof Leadership

Humorous stories and powerful insights about stress & leadership.

Reduce stress. Enhance performance and productivity. High-performance teams need Stress-Proof Leaders!

Stress management is a HARD SKILL essential to success.

Stress-Proof Leaders leverage this critical skill to propel their own performance and team performance by:

  • Creating a culture of value and security to support productivity in high-stress professions, during change, and in crisis.
  • Managing contagious stress
  • Understanding generational differences in the reaction to overwhelm and uncertainty

Wellness expert Eliz Greene delivers surprising insights and innovative, actionable strategies based on her research on job stress in this interactive, fun, and compelling keynote.

This presentation is customized through the Stress Proof Testing Tool which diagnoses the unique set of issues causing stress in the participants’ workplaces and benchmarks the results with other organizations in the study.

Through stories from a wide variety of leaders and employees interviewed during her study and her own experience surviving a heart attack while seven-months pregnant with twins, Eliz debunks work-life balance and provides a plan to protect your health, productivity, and sanity under stress

Whether she is kicking off a sales conference or closing a leadership development event, Eliz’s high-energy and high-content programs combine humor, stories, original research… and even a little dancing.

She uses humor and engaging activities to show it’s time to:

  • Explore the major causes of stress based on the results of the Stress-Proof Testing Instrument.
  • Examine emotional stress triggers to reveal why some people are bogged down by stressful environments while others thrive.
  • Rewire assumptions about generations and gender to improve teamwork, communication, management, and performance through an engaging exercise.
  • Understand different types of stress recovery strategies and identify their own recovery profile using an entertaining activity.
  • Utilize a framework to create a plan to work well under pressure.
  • Take one step toward being stress-proof by understanding the importance of motivation in behavior change.

Active Recovery for Unavoidable Stress

High Performance Under Pressure

Recover - like an athlete. High-Performance Under Pressure The hectic pace, chronic high stress, uncertainty, and unavoidable negative influences can threaten productivity and creativity – AND suck the fun out of even the most enjoyable professions. This program, created specifically for high-performance teams in high-pressure occupations as part of Eliz Greene’s work with NASA, encourages active stress recovery similar to active physical recovery used by high-performance athletes.

Based on her book Stress-Proof Your Life and research on job stress, professional speaker Eliz Greene shares insights and strategies to limit the impact of stress to improve performance and quality of life.

It includes 5 essential skills to:

  • Notice and address symptoms of high stress
  • Decompress from pressure and stress you can’t avoid
  • Signal your body to release cortisol to protect your health, performance, and quality of life
  • Change the focus from problem-solving to achievement
  • Find the motivation to make a change

Resilience is a Choice

4 Decisions Essential to Weathering Unrelenting Stress

Based on more than 100 interviews with leaders and team members, Eliz shares insights to weather the stress of crisis and change.

She discovered that highly capable people are often unequipped to deal with the stress of an unsolvable situation. For them, the stress of dealing with vulnerability amplifies the stress of crisis and change.

Ultimately, resilience is a choice. We choose to move forward in the face of failure, crisis, tragedy, pain, or life-altering (and business-altering) events we can’t control. Understanding your reaction to vulnerability is essential to becoming resilient.

In this program, Eliz shares 4 essential decisions to:

  • Deal with the curse of capability.
  • Get comfortable with the emotional reaction to vulnerability.
  • Focus on what is possible rather than dwelling on what is difficult.
  • Strengthen your resilience muscle.

Stress-Proof Your Heart

A keynote with humorous stories and powerful insights about stress and heart health.

We can’t get rid of all stress, and we wouldn’t want to even if we could.

Our bodies’ natural reaction to stress is what gives us a boost to get the job done, but too much stress decreases brain function, critical thinking and can cause problems for the heart.

Stress-Proof Your Heart is the culmination of Eliz’s two-decade career as a heart health advocate, speaker, and author. It also includes insights from her study on job stress.

Participants walk away with implementable strategies to live longer, feel better, and protect their health.

… and they will have fun too!
