Speaking overview: science made practical for leaders.

Leadership performance is not only a question of strategy. It is also shaped by the quality of decisions, the state of the nervous system, the physiology supporting the work, and the coherence between identity, vision, and action.

Rebeca’s talks translate these dimensions into clear frameworks for leaders and teams. The emphasis is practical and executive: how we think under pressure, regulate before responding, and design sustainable performance.

Speaking topics

Complex Decisions

Decision-making under uncertainty, decision fatigue, cognitive load, heuristics, bias, Bayesian evaluation, attentional clarity, and metacognition.

The Nervous System and Leadership

Autonomic regulation as a leadership capability: expanding the window of tolerance, mapping activation states and choosing a response instead of reacting automatically.

Sustainable Performance

Energy management, ultradian rhythms, deep work, sleep architecture, movement, recovery, cognitive load, and alignment between values, identity, vision, and action.

Leader Physiology and Longevity

Precision Physiology: nutrition and chronobiology, sleep and recovery, exercise as nervous-system regulation, and interpretation of physiological markers and wearables.

Formats designed around the room, the question, and the level of engagement.

Keynote
