Entrepreneurs Organization (EO) Chicago President, Owner of Candor Threads
“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!”
President, Heartland Partners in Caring, Keller Williams Realty, The Hern Group
“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.”
