Revisionary Thinking: the Science and Strategy of Adapting to Change

Can you reach your goals, even if things aren’t going the way you expect? Most people (and organizations) are good at setting goals and making plans, but not very good at revising those plans when things change. But that’s the real work of resilience. Backed by Courtney’s data-driven research, ReVisionary Thinking offers concrete strategies for building “future readiness” and blazing a new path when the goalposts move on you.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to…

  • Avoid the typical mistakes people make when confronted with change
  • Improve mental flexibility as individuals and teams
  • Understand why gut instinct fails you in unfamiliar situations—and how to counter it
  • Generate more (and more innovative!) ideas when solving problems

Courtney Clark is a resilience and adaptability expert who helps individuals and organizations thrive amid constant change. Drawing on personal experience and years of research, she delivers practical, empowering strategies to help audiences adapt faster and achieve more. A three-time author and sought-after keynote speaker, Courtney has worked with global organizations including Nike, Google, and Amazon.

UNSTUCK: How to Lead Yourself (and Others) When Emotions, Stress, and Conversations Get in the Way

When work feels heavy, progress often stalls—not because of poor strategy, but because emotions, stress, and miscommunication quietly hijack decision-making and collaboration.

With humor, clarity, and immediately usable tools, Britt translates neuroscience into simple actions that can be used in meetings, conversations, and high-pressure moments. Attendees will learn how to shift from emotional reactivity to clear thinking, build trust quickly, and move people from overwhelm to action—one conversation at a time.

Audiences will walk away with:

  • Simple tools to shift themselves and others from emotional overload to clear, logical thinking
  • Practical listening and communication techniques that help people feel heard—without overprocessing feelings
  • Brain-based decision tools that increase focus, confidence, and follow-through
  • Fast, effective ways to reduce stress, burnout, and meeting fatigue


Britt Frank, LSCSW, SEP is a licensed psychotherapist and human behavior expert who literally wrote the book on getting unstuck. Author of The Science of Stuck (Penguin Random House), Britt blends neuroscience, humor, and practical tools to help high-achievers break through barriers and move forward with clarity and confidence.
