Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EVOLVE & THRIVE keynote about?
EVOLVE & THRIVE helps leaders build a mindset that holds up under constant change and uncertainty. It teaches audiences how to reframe the thinking and self-talk that hold them back, and replace it with daily behaviors that drive real performance.
What does it mean to "evolve" as a leader in this context?
It means continually updating how you think and respond as your environment changes, instead of relying on the same mindset and habits that used to work. Dr. Jones shows leaders how their brain both helps and hinders them during periods of disruption, and how to work with it rather than against it.
Who is this keynote best for?
EVOLVE & THRIVE fits any audience navigating significant change including leadership conferences, teams going through reorganization or growth, and association meetings where resilience and adaptability are the theme.
What will my team actually walk away with?
Attendees learn how their brain helps and hinders them during change, practical ways to manage burnout and build resilience, a set of "Power Words" that prime positivity and performance, and techniques to boost motivation through better neurochemistry.
What business problems does this keynote solve?
It's built for teams facing burnout, low resilience, or difficulty adapting to fast-moving change. These are the kind of environments where old mindsets and habits are actively holding performance back. Evolve and Thrive helps audience members create breakthroughs in the thinking that is holding them back from their next level of achievement and success.
How is this different from a typical resilience talk?
Most resilience talks focus on grit or positive thinking. This keynote is grounded in neuroscience — it explains what's actually happening in the brain during stress and change, and gives leaders specific language and behaviors to shift it, not just motivation to push through.
Can this be combined with a workshop or training?
Yes. EVOLVE & THRIVE pairs well with a follow-on workshop where teams practice reframing techniques and build their own "Power Words" together.
