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.
