We've entered a new era. AI is commoditizing information, change is constant, and many high performers are stuck in a widening gap between what they know and what they can actually hold.

In this keynote, Rachel Weissman invites audiences beyond "just mindset" into a more honest, embodied relationship with capacity itself. Drawing from chronic illness, entrepreneurship, and deep introspective practice, she reveals how real adaptation happens when mind, heart, and body come back into coherence. Not through more effort, but through a different way of paying attention.

Key Audience Takeaways:

• A new lens: Why your unique interpretation of reality, not information, is now your greatest asset
• The Capacity Compass: A simple framework for distinguishing external demands from internal capacity, and real constraints from self-imposed ones
• Three levels of integration: Micro-practices for clearing mental noise, staying emotionally connected without drowning, and reading the body as data
• Everyday experiments: Concrete ways to transform daily frictions (emails, commutes, tough conversations) into laboratories for expanding capacity
• A felt shift: From pressure to presence, from reactivity to wise, coherent action

Blending story, psychology, and practical frameworks, Rachel offers a new compass for leading, creating, and living in a rapidly changing world. One that turns friction and uncertainty into sources of intelligence rather than shame.

The old model of creativity was the lone genius waiting for inspiration. The new model is something else entirely: learning to build containers that allow intelligence to move through you.

In this keynote, Rachel Weissman explores the paradox at the heart of creative work in the AI age. Structure isn't the enemy of emergence; it's the condition for it. Whether you're leading a team, building a product, or navigating your own creative process, the ability to hold both form and flow is now a core leadership skill.

Drawing from her experience as a product designer at Google, a startup founder, and a meditation teacher, Rachel reveals how the most innovative work happens at the intersection of discipline and surrender. She offers a practical framework for designing the conditions where breakthrough ideas can arise, without forcing them or waiting forever.

Key Audience Takeaways

• A reframe on constraints: Why limitations aren't blocks to creativity but the very thing that makes it possible
• The container principle: How to design structures (in projects, teams, and your own practice) that invite emergence rather than control it
• Creative coherence: Practices for staying connected to intuition while meeting real-world demands and deadlines
• Working with AI as collaborator: How to use generative tools without losing your creative signature or becoming dependent on output
• A new relationship with "not knowing": How to trust the creative process even when you can't see the destination

Most presence training focuses on what you project outward: body language, vocal power, commanding the room. But true presence isn't performed. It's transmitted. And it starts with what's happening inside.

In this experiential keynote, Rachel Weissman takes audiences beyond techniques into the felt sense of presence itself. Drawing on thousands of hours of meditation practice and training, as well as in-depth experience as an executive coach to high-profile leaders, she reveals that presence isn't something you manufacture. It's something you reveal.

Key Audience Takeaways:

• A new definition of presence: Why what you're being matters more than what you're doing, and how others feel this instantly
• The anatomy of radiance: Understanding the relationship between inner state, nervous system regulation, and how you land in a room
• A guided practice: A simple, repeatable meditation participants can use before high-stakes moments (presentations, negotiations, difficult conversations)
• Somatic anchors: Body-based techniques to return to presence when stress pulls you into reactivity
• Permission to stop performing: How letting go of "trying to be present" is often the fastest path to actually being present

This session blends teaching with real-time practice. Through a guided meditation designed for professional audiences, participants will experience (not just understand) how to drop beneath mental noise, access inner stillness, and let that stillness radiate outward. The result isn't a louder or more polished version of you. It's a more grounded, coherent, magnetic one.
