The Heart of Change

How to Reduce Stress and Build Resilience in Times of Change

For many people, the pace of change has outrun their capacity to recover. Chronic stress isn’t only a wellbeing issue. It’s a performance issue, eroding judgment, collaboration, and creativity when they’re needed most. Learning to reset in the moment can restore what pressure takes away.

In this keynote, Vered Kogan, a HeartMath Institute Certified Trainer and co-author with Marshall Goldsmith of UnStuck, teaches science-backed tools to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Used by the U.S. Navy, major hospital systems, and Fortune 500 companies, these tools help people stay grounded under pressure and recover more quickly from stress.

Actionable Takeaways:

  • Learn a practical, evidence-based technique for regulating the stress response in real time.
  • Know how to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting on impulse.
  • Stay energized and mentally sharp when stress is high.

Participants will walk away with a simple tool they can use anytime, anywhere, to stay steady, think clearly, and support the people around them through change.

Mindshift

How to Transform Yourself and Your Organization

Change can be difficult, even when it’s something we want. The reason often sits beneath the surface, in the beliefs, emotions, and thought loops that pull us back toward familiar patterns.

In this keynote, participants will learn how their thinking patterns influence their decisions and results, and explore practical ways to shift the beliefs that hold them back. Vered Kogan is a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Coach and trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), with deep expertise in how the unconscious mind shapes how people respond to change.

Actionable Takeaways:

  • Learn how subconscious beliefs shape actions and outcomes.
  • Discover what mindsets are and how they form.
  • Learn a process for identifying and shifting limiting beliefs.

Participants will walk away with a clearer view of the patterns that hold them back and a process for working with them, for themselves and for the organization around them.

Thrive Through Change

How to Lead Change with Confidence

The odds are stacked against change. Most organizational change initiatives fail to deliver the results they set out to achieve. What separates the few that do? Prosci, a global leader in change management research, reports that projects with excellent change management are approximately seven times more likely to meet their objectives.

In this keynote, participants will learn practical strategies for driving lasting behavior change and beating those odds, grounded in Prosci® research. Vered Kogan is a Certified Change Management Professional and Prosci Certified Practitioner with more than 20 years of experience guiding organizations through change.

Actionable Takeaways:

  • Understand how to anticipate and navigate the stages of transition.
  • Learn a powerful, evidence-based tool for leading change.

Participants will walk away with practical tools to lead change with confidence, and to help people feel supported, heard, and ready to embrace what’s ahead.
The Power Within Keynote

The Power Within

How to Navigate Competing Priorities with Both/And Thinking

When priorities compete, the instinct is to pick a side. Research on paradoxical leadership suggests that leaders who learn to hold both sides, instead of choosing one, are better equipped to handle complexity. Swinging from one extreme to the other is where costly mistakes happen.

In this keynote, participants will learn how to tell a solvable problem from a tension that must be managed over time, and how to use Barry Johnson’s Polarity Mapping® to work with competing priorities. Vered Kogan is a Certified Change Management Professional with more than 20 years of experience helping leaders and organizations navigate change.

Actionable Takeaways:

  • Distinguish a solvable problem from a polarity to manage over time
  • Learn a practical framework for navigating competing priorities
  • Apply Polarity Mapping® to real strategic tensions to improve decision quality, reduce unproductive conflict, and strengthen leadership team alignment

Participants will walk away with a practical way to navigate competing priorities, make stronger decisions, and keep their teams aligned.

The Power of Persuasion

How to Ethically Influence People to Say YES!

The words we choose, and the way we frame a request, often decide whether an idea moves forward or stalls. The most effective persuasion is built on respect, not pressure. It starts with understanding why people say yes.

In this keynote, participants will learn how to apply Dr. Robert Cialdini’s 7 Principles of Influence with integrity to inspire action and create win-win outcomes. Trained by the Cialdini Institute, Vered Kogan brings more than 40 years of research on the psychology of persuasion into practical, everyday tools.

Actionable Takeaways:

  • Understand the science of why people say yes.
  • Use small shifts in language, approach, and framing to increase influence.
  • Gain buy-in from teams, stakeholders, and decision-makers.

Participants will walk away with practical, ethical ways to communicate with more influence and build trust in every conversation.

Unleashing Innovation

How to Tune In to Your Intuitive Intelligence

Teams are asked to innovate while moving faster, doing more, and working under constant pressure—the conditions where fresh thinking is hardest to find.

In this keynote, participants will learn how to create the conditions where new ideas emerge, tap into intuition, and bring it into everyday work. Vered Kogan is a HeartMath Institute Certified Trainer and Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Coach, with deep expertise in how stress and mindset affect clarity, creativity, and decisions.

Actionable Takeaways:

  • Understand how stress and overthinking limit creative thinking—and what opens it back up.
  • Learn how intuition and analysis work together to generate and test new ideas.
  • Learn a simple practice to reset in the moment and tap into intuition before a brainstorm or key decision.

Participants will walk away with practical ways to bring more fresh thinking to their work, from brainstorms to big decisions.
