Get Out of the Red Zone: Equipping Teams to Thrive Under Pressure
Neuroscience reveals that mindset, not circumstance, is the real competitive advantage.
Today’s workplace runs hot. Demands are high, uncertainty is constant, and people are operating at their limits. Research shows that over 90 percent of employees report being in the Red Zone frequently, and 70 percent say they feel burned out. These are not just statistics. They reveal a costly state that drains focus, creativity, and collaboration.
The Red Zone is more than stress. It is a neurological state where the brain’s threat response takes control, reducing clarity, empathy, and problem-solving. When leaders and teams operate in this state, performance declines, communication breaks down, and culture weakens.
In this transformative, science-based keynote, psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo reveals how to recognize, prevent, and reverse the Red Zone before it erodes results. Using her patented Three Step Formula, she teaches leaders and teams to retrain the brain under pressure, turning stress into clarity, confidence, and connection.
Organizations that apply these tools see stronger communication, greater innovation, and cultures that thrive even in high-pressure environments. When people get out of the Red Zone, they do not just manage stress. They unlock their full capacity to lead, perform, and succeed.
