ATLANTA – The ECIA Executive Conference Committee is pleased to announce the name of the opening keynote session title, “FEAR(LESS)™ Mindset What's Your Story,” presented by Rebecca Heiss. Our brains aren’t built for this rapidly changing world… But they are adaptable. By consciously crafting a mindset that helps us lean into these challenges rather than treat them as threats, we’ll be able to avoid the burnout, frustration, and turnover that might otherwise plague us and our clients. And, perhaps most importantly, we can deepen the connections we had to the purpose and people that drew us into this industry we love to begin with. This session will provide tools to:

• Re-categorize stress as a strength that can drive performance.
• Utilize a 3-step scientific technique to shift stress mindsets from ordeal to adventure.
• Enable positive communication, ideation, and creative collaborations to lead through ambiguity with a beginner’s mind.

“The 2023 conference speaker line up is one for the books!” noted ECIA Director of Member Engagement, Stephanie Tierney. “The topic fits in very well with our theme, ‘Making Waves, the Power of You.’ Our committee has chosen the other two keynote speakers and will be finalizing the rest of the program in the coming weeks, so stay tuned,” she added.

Registration is open now. The Executive Conference runs October 22-24, 2023 at the Loews Chicago O'Hare.
