Why we work with Eliz Greene

Kate first “met” Eliz through the magic of technology. Unable to attend the National Speakers Association convention in 2014, Kate signed up for live streaming. And for four days, she sat in her office watching the live content of the speakers on NSA’s program. But, for her, the best part was interacting with Eliz and her fellow live stream wrangler Thom Singer. Kate was impressed with Eliz’s ability to “keep things moving” with both planned and on-the-fly interviews with other speakers who were in attendance. Staged in a noisy hallway where people passed by constantly (including speakers with ninja-level photo-bombing skills) Eliz never appeared to be caught off-guard and, somehow, managed to keep the flow going. The webinar platform also allowed direct interaction with the live-stream viewers – Kate would write her comments and ask questions and Eliz and Thom would answer. Eliz truly made the live-streamers feel like they were there on-site and that all they were missing was the sore feet and lack of sleep that comes with attending live. 

Keeping in touch over the years, we were thrilled when all the pieces fell into place in the spring of 2019 when Eliz became a member of our speaker family. 

When you hear the word “stress” it’s likely that you don’t feel all warm and fuzzy. But Eliz? Eliz gets ridiculously excited about stress.

Say what now?

She not only finds the chemical reaction in the body caused by stress fascinating, but stress is also her favorite topic to speak about, write about, or discuss in line at the grocery store.

Surviving a heart attack at age 35 while seven months pregnant with twins propelled Eliz on a mission to share her story to inspire other busy people to pay attention to their health. Just days after her heart stopped and she endured open heart surgery and a cesarean section delivery, Eliz held both her daughters together for the first time.

With a surgically repaired heart, Eliz also knows stress management isn’t a ‘nice-to-have,’ but rather an essential survival skill. 

Amazingly, despite the pain and uncertainty, what she felt most strongly was contentment. Her priorities were crystal clear. She knew she’d been given a second chance at life and a unique perspective for a reason.

Eliz firmly believes she is responsible for showing others how to manage stress and find contentment. Eliz is dedicated to leading others on a path to low stress and great success. And she does it with actionable strategies and humor (and dancing…there will probably be dancing!)

Leaders cannot lead effectively if they are stressed. Or if they are in search of the ever-elusive “work-life balance.”  Eliz will show your leaders and your team how to become more productive and, well, less stressed. 

What People are Saying about Eliz

Her laser focus on priority; warm and funny stories, and immediately implementable strategies inspire participants to reach new heights while protecting productive time, personal relationships, and wellness.

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.

So, what transforms stress from a motivator to a performance killer?

In this presentation, Eliz 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.
