Rebecca Heiss, PhD Biography

Called "transformative" by the National Science Foundation, evolutionary biologist Dr. Rebecca Heiss’s breakthrough research examines the prehistoric fears and primitive instincts that our human brains have subconsciously carried forward into our complex, modern world. Sharing science-backed explanations and thought-provoking storytelling, she shows us how to overcome the reflexes that served us well 20,000 years ago but sabotage us today. Whether you are a corporate leader looking to build and lead stronger teams, an organization seeking to understand the ingrained instincts behind unconscious bias, or simply wishing to manage stress and anxiety and adopt a more successful, positive mindset, Dr. Heiss’s highly interactive talks will rock your perceptions about how people universally think, behave, and interact.

Dr. Heiss is the author of "Instinct: Rewire Your Brain with Science-Backed Solutions to Increase Productivity and Achieve Success", which has been described as “a revolutionary approach to unlocking your innate ability to achieve success in business and in life.” She is also the founder and CEO of icueity, a continuous 360 review app that provides users with ongoing “fearless feedback” and challenges them to grow in self-awareness. She taught at the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics and later was recruited to be among the founding faculty members to develop a startup school to nurture entrepreneurial minds and approach learning through impact. Dr. Heiss holds a BS and MS in Biology from Binghamton University and a PhD in stress physiology from University of Memphis.

Her talks have inspired audiences around the world, including organizations such as Charles Schwab, ADP, SHRM, and Case Western Reserve University. Believing that “the scariest thing is living a life governed by fear,” Dr. Heiss challenges us to BECOME FEAR(LESS)™ while providing the tools to achieve it. Audiences leave with actionable takeaways on how to overcome their own biology, take control of stress and anxiety, be more effective and productive, break through the barriers to optimal performance—and live happier, fear(less) lives. She draws on her developed T-minus 3 Technique, transforming stress into productive energy, as she engages corporate and academic audiences alike with her keynote "FINDING FEAR(less)", which empowers participants to overcome self-doubt and unlock high performance by leveraging stress.

  • FEAR[less] Leadership: Excelling Through Uncertainty

    In this engaging keynote, Dr. Rebecca leverages decades of research into stress and human behavior to share simple, science-backed techniques for transforming fear into the fuel that will propel leaders and their teams to greater confidence, focus, and performance.

    This presentation is perfect for leaders and teams:

    • Feeling overwhelmed by the stress, challenge, or unpredictable change they’re facing
    • Ready to return to performance growth and/or concerned about how failure might be perceived
    • Hoping to understand the science behind stress and anxiety better so they can know how to manage it more effectively
    • Needing to come together to drive performance forward

    The audience will leave able to:

    • Rapidly transform stress and fear into energy that works for, rather than against, them
    • Recalibrate their stress response so they can step into uncomfortable changes and challenges
    • Adopt an adventure mindset that will fuel their resilience and adaptability in high-pressure situations

  • The Stress Advantage: Harnessing the Power of Stress to Boost Performance

    We’ve gone through pandemics, supply chain issues, and uncertainty in global markets and now it’s time to get back to work. What if instead of trying to fight stress, we could transform it into a competitive advantage?

    In this eye-opening keynote, Dr. Rebecca reveals the secret upside of stress that the highest-performing athletes and leaders use to fuel their performance. Helping to move individuals and companies from symptoms of PTSD to PTG (Post Traumatic Growth), she shares her simple science-based framework that allows anyone to stop fighting stress, and start leaning into it • improving productivity, increasing connection to others, and growing through challenges.

    This presentation is perfect for leaders and teams:

    • Trying to battle increasing levels of stress, burnout, and disengagement

    • Ready to return to performance growth

    • Feeling stuck on a treadmill that’s always moving faster

    • Wanting to alleviate stress, but wary of the traditional “stress management” techniques that only add MORE “to do’s” (and stress) to their plates

    The audience will leave able to:

    • Understand the biological root of their stress response and recalibrate that response to work for their benefit in the modern world

    • Effectively engage with their fears and reframe them as energy that can optimize performance and growth

    • Adopt a simple framework for rewiring their brains so they can respond differently to challenges, reduce burnout, and restore purpose and fulfillment to their work

  • Finding Fearless

    A journey to the most powerful version of yourself! This inspiring keynote incorporates science, storytelling, and audience improv to guide participants past the “shoulds” and “not enoughs” in their heads to own their role as protagonists of their own lives. Using a potent combination of science and heart, Dr. Rebecca motivates anyone to become the best versions of themselves • the version that their 8 (and 88) year old self would be proud of.

    This presentation is perfect for leaders and teams:

    • Struggling with negative self-talk and limiting expectations
    • Feeling like imposters in their lives but unsure how to feel fully authentic
    • Wanting to bring more purpose and meaning to the work they do
    • Needing to come together to drive performance forward

    The audience will leave able to:

    • Cultivate an empowered sense of self and deeper connection to others in any situation
    • Understand how challenges, changes, and stress can lead to greater purpose and fulfillment in their lives.
    • Develop their own unique Superpower and show up “all in” as their authentic selves to help others.
