    Learn simple, science-backed tools to achieve peak performance. And the best part? NO MOTIVATION REQUIRED.

    The secret sauce to building confidence, resilience, and a peak-performance mindset is aligning the relationship between the brain and body.

    When it’s time to suit up, show up, and get things done, an untrained mind will sabotage the situation.

    When you feel stuck, many people get hit with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or feelings of “why can’t I just do the thing?"

    But here’s a shocking fact—you don’t need motivation to get unstuck. You don’t need to “just think positive" to overcome procrastination. You don’t need to spend 10 years in psychotherapy to level up your life.

    In situations where split-second decisions make the difference between winning and losing, athletes must rely on a seamless alignment between the mind and body. But mind-body alignment isn’t just for athletes. High-performance in any arena- leading a team, launching a brand, building a life you love—requires the same strategy.

    Drawing upon groundbreaking research from her wildly popular book The Science of Stuck (Penguin Random House), licensed neuro-psychotherapist Britt Frank, LSCSW dismantles the myth of motivation— and leaves audiences with actionable, practical, science-backed tools to get unstuck from ANYTHING (no motivation required).

 “Britt's time with EO Chicago was nothing short of transformative.  Her own journey of personal struggle and addiction to professional success resonated deeply with all our members. Through her captivating storytelling and deep understanding of neuropsychology, she helped us understand the intricacies of our brains and nervous systems, offering profound insights into how they influence our behaviors and decisions.

Britt did an incredible job of adapting to last minute changes and creating an intimate and supportive environment where attendees felt comfortable opening up and sharing their own experiences. This level of vulnerability fostered deep connections among members and enriched the learning experience.

Britt's book, "The Science of Stuck," served as a comprehensive guide to understanding the neuroscience behind our thought patterns and habits, empowering us to overcome obstacles and achieve greater personal and professional growth.

Britt left a lasting impact on our organization.  She is personable, relatable, knowledgeable and impactful in a multitude of ways.  We all left feeling better equipped with the knowledge and inspiration to navigate the challenges of life, leadership. and entrepreneurship with resilience and purpose. We are incredibly grateful to have spent an intimate afternoon and evening with Britt, we can't wait to have her back for another workshop!”

  • Becky Galvez, Entrepreneurs Organization (EO) Chicago President, Owner of Candor Threads

“Britt captured the audience’s attention from the start! She quickly gained the trust of the attendees who gave her their undivided attention which is quite an accomplishment in front of an audience of realtors who we describe as having the attention span of a goldfish. 

Britt weaves her personal story into her presentation and gives solid tools that people can use immediately to get out of being stuck. She doesn’t sugarcoat the process or say it’s easy but instead, helps us understand what our brain is trying to tell us and how it is trying to protect us. Understanding that can help move away from shame and guilt into resolution and responsibility. 

In today’s anxiety riddled world where we all feel a little anxious and crazy from time to time, I can encourage any organization to engage Britt as a speaker. We feel that her keynote contributed to the mental health of our people at a time when mental health help is needed.

Our audience ranked her among the best speakers we’ve ever had and bringing her message to your people is a gift to them and their families.”
