THE VITALITY STATE:

THE VITALITY STATE:
Where Excellence Meets Energy to Expand Leadership Capacity, Foster Enduring High Performance, and Fuel a Vibrant Life
Leadership has always been demanding, but today, it feels like an unsustainable pressure cooker of complexity and competing demands where no amount of effort ever seems enough. These circumstances aren't temporary they are trademarks of today's workplace. The question isn't how to overcome them; it's how to expand our capacity to sustainably thrive within them.

Drawing on nearly two decades studying the science of human behavior, advising leaders, and conducting a multi-year study of workplace vitality captured in her bestselling book "Dear Work, Something Has to Change", Sara Ross believes the answer is found in LeadFULLTM a full person approach to vitality-fueling leadership.

Grounded in research but geared for real life, this keynote focuses on the Self-Leadership pillar of LeadFULLTM and teaches the transformational power of learning to operate from the Vitality State. From here, performance excellence becomes more enduring, emotional intelligence skills more accessible, relationships more enriching, and purpose reignited creating a ripple effect of thriving across teams and organizations while deepening vibrancy in all dimensions of life.

THE EXCELLENCE MULTIPLIER:

THE EXCELLENCE MULTIPLIER:
Activating the Three Vital Forces that Elevate Leadership and Collectively Bring Out the Best in Others
In today's rapidly changing workplace, where organizations are fiercely competing to leverage AI's potential while attracting, engaging, and retaining top talent, a powerful truth stands clear: an organization's greatest untapped competitive advantage is human potential. While new technologies and evolving policies continue to transform how and where we work, the ability of leaders to unify talents and convert them into collective excellence (without exhausting everyone in the process) remains the true differentiator between organizations that merely function and those that truly excel.

LeadFULLTM a vitality-fueling approach to human-centered leadership developed by Sara Ross—provides a powerful, science-backed blueprint for just that.

Grounded in the Lead Others dimension of the LeadFULLTM model, this keynote builds on data from over 10,000 survey responses to what brings the best out in others. In it, Sara focuses on three interconnected transformative human-centered leadership insights accountability, empathy, and empowerment. In a world of complexity, Sara provides clarity, transforming how leaders approach and elevate their roles with instantly applicable tools to drive vitality-fueling success that benefits everyone from team members with a ripple effect out to customers and beyond.

FUTURE-READY CHANGE RESILIENCE:

FUTURE-READY CHANGE RESILIENCE:
Transforming Stress into Strength, Uncertainty into Opportunity, and Resistance into Energizing Momentum
In today's dynamic world, there are two human operating states from which we can approach change: the Scarcity State, where we're reactive, stressed out, frustrated, and change-fatigued, or the Vitality State, where we're strategic, energized, resilient, and future-ready. With research suggesting the average organization has undergone five enterprise changes in the past three years and 73% expecting more ahead leading change from the Vitality State isn't just an option; it's a competitive advantage.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience researching, coaching and advising leaders and their organizations through change efforts, Sara shares how operating from the Vitality State transforms resilience from a reactive tactic called upon in moments of crisis -to a proactive practice strengthened daily. From here, stress is converted to a strength that reveals purpose, uncertainty becomes a gateway to innovation, and resistance shifts into a catalyst for energizing, momentum-creating growth. This is how to stay future-ready in a changing world.

DEAR WORK:

DEAR WORK:
The Burnout Stops Here -- Redefining Success to Boost Happiness, Meaning, and Vitality
It all started with a letter. What began as a personal reflection on the consuming nature of work quickly evolved into a research-backed mission to find a better way to work. That letter, and the journey it sparked, became the foundation of Sara Ross's bestselling book, "Dear Work, Something Has to Change".

If you've ever found yourself pursuing bold goals but running on fumes, feeling stuck between choosing success or well-being, or frustrated that work-life balance strategies just aren't cutting it, you're not alone. In a world where exhaustion is often accepted as the price of excellence, Sara Ross has the data to prove otherwise.

In a multi-year study exploring our relationship with work through the lens of organizational culture, personal energy management and performance science, Sara found that people who thrive with vitality in demanding environments aren't less ambitious or committed, but they do hold fundamentally different beliefs about success, stress, and rest. This keynote delivers mindset shifts and science-backed strategies to help people bring their best, most vitality-fueled standout selves forward and transform workplace cultures trapped in burnout cycles.
