Work has become more complex, volatile, and uncertain than ever before. Unfortunately, that means that even your best people can become unfocused, unsure, and unmotivated. Not very good for morale or the bottom line.

If you’re looking for a high-energy speaker who can relate to your people and give them a refreshingly positive perspective on navigating change, look to Dr. Susan Bernstein.

In addition to sharing a new and hopeful view on dealing with uncertainty and all the stresses and strains that can create, Dr. Bernstein teaches practical tools and techniques that you can use when you are faced with challenges.  While she’s uplifting and inspirational, Dr. Bernstein is much more than a rah-rah motivational speaker. She is deeply committed to helping individuals to sensitively identify negative attitudes and behaviors and transform them to open up new, more positive possibilities. Her speaking style literally gets people up and moving and having fun while they learn. Dr. Bernstein is an expert in relating to the problems your people face and showing them useful, memorable, enjoyable ways reduce their stress, clarify solutions, and take their next steps with confidence.


Dr. Susan Bernstein has been a keynote or featured speaker for organizations including:

Dr. Susan Bernstein spoke to a large group of our  professionals about the mind body connection.  She was dynamic and captivating, involving the audience members in physical exercises simulating what she terms “drains” and “gains” in our life and how to funnel them down into our desires.  So stimulating was her interactive presentation, I found myself totally absorbed in hearing all she had to share of her work with individuals and groups, and left wanting more, more, more! - Monica Pinsel, Walnut Creek, CA

Let Dr. Bernstein customize an interactive, experiential speaking engagement that will engage your audience while addressing the issues you need to shift. To inspire you, here are five suggested presentations, all of which can be delivered either as a speech or as a highly interactive workshop.

SmartSensing Your Way Through Change
Often, when we’re faced with change, we try to rationalize it, organize it, and control it. But all that thinking can lead to analysis paralysis. There’s a better  way to navigate change, using your whole intelligence, from head to toe. SmartSensing offers an approach to listening to, trusting, and responding to the innate wisdom of the heart, gut, and the rest of your body. In times when you feel stuck, lost, blocked, or confused, SmartSensing can give you the power to stay calm, get clear, make better decisions, and remain confident, even in the face of significant shifts. Whether you’re dealing with an abrupt change in business conditions, a push to get to the next level of performance, or you are dealing with the stress of an unpleasant change, learning SmartSensing will give you access to new levels of fluidity, responsiveness, resilience and positive energy.

Strategies for Staying Positive & Motivated, No Matter the Market
The world economy seems to be on a rollercoaster, creating a ripple effect throughout companies and organizations. It seems like no one knows what the next day will bring.  In such an environment, it’s easy to get side-tracked and fall into negativity and distress, which lowers your ability to get things done.  This presentation gives you hands-on tools you can use to upgrade your attitude, build your sense of calm, and get clear, even in the midst of chaos.  (1 hour interactive presentation; 2 hour to 2-day customized workshop)

Renewing Your Career
Even the most high-performing professionals get overwhelmed or burned out. While a vacation can be helpful, it doesn’t address the underlying issues that keep you from maximizing your potential.  This workshop helps you look at the factors that are creating distress and presents ways to renew and restore your energy and excitement about work.  (1 hour interactive presentation; 2 hour to 2-day customized workshop)

Making Sensational Decisions
The pace of change seems to be constantly increasing, making it more and more challenging to make good decisions under pressure.  Learn the neuroscience behind how we decide.  The way we process information may surprise you, as intellect alone does not promote optimal decision-making — in fact, it can lead to delays and disasters. Through experiential activities, discover how to enhance your ability to make more satisfying, beneficial decisions using the power of your embodied intelligence.

Stress Management Is in Your Hands
We all know that stress takes us away from achieving our most important goals and intentions. But in the face of uncertainty and anxiety, how can you avoid stress?  Have fun learning the science behind stress and exploring your own innate capacity to reduce stress through simple body movements.  Once you become aware of the ways stress impacts you and use the tools you have, literally in your hands, to deal with it, you’ll be more at ease and more productive.
