Episode 24

Share this:

“The brain is trained and designed for survival. To avoid pain and to seek pleasure. That’s it. So we have to work with it. We have to understand our patterns. We have to understand those paths. Quite literally, the neuropathways in our brain.”

Heather J. Crider is a keynote speaker, certified neuroperformance coach and leading expert in high-performance growth and thought transformation. She empowers overwhelmed professionals to unleash brain-powered breakthroughs, unlock unstoppable performance, boundless energy, and deeper human connections.

Having served as a CEO who collaborated with numerous Fortune 500 companies, Heather understands the daily demands and stresses of life. Her interactive and practical approach has helped hundreds of individuals and organizations worldwide develop emotional intelligence and focus, with an emphasis on AI enablement.

Heather is also the host of the Go Reflect Yourself Podcast, and has been featured in Forbes, Yahoo Finance, Brainz Magazine, and Thrive Global.

She talks to Cynthia about how the brain works and why she got involved in neuroperformance. She tells her story of “having it all” only to see multiple pillars of her world crumble in a very short period of time. She came to understand how the brain drives behavior and how that can be guided to our advantage. This led her to coaching and speaking on this very topic, which she does in her own powerful keynote speeches. She also takes the stage with her legitimate rockstar partner, Mark Schulman, and they deliver an interactive keynote that gets rave reviews. You will learn how past traumas influence your current decisions, and how to change negative behavior patterns. It’s a fun episode full of valuable insights and takeaways.

Angie Lovatto: Accountability That Unlocks Potential

One of the things I love to do if the opportunity presents itself as coach people, because I feel like that is the most, wow, fun, enriching thing that you can do for people. Because what happens is I believe that people behave for reasons, and you got to figure out what’s the root cause. So if someone reacts in a certain way, whether it’s anger, emotion, or whatever, there’s a reason why they’re reacting that way. And so I don’t think that people really want to react that way. They want to be their best self.

Lisa Govro Headshot

Lisa Govro: Big Heart Tea and Choosing Integrity

“I didn’t go into business from a business school background, and so I discounted a lot of my intuition and what I thought was right and what I should be doing and took other people’s advice sort of over my own thinking and eventually I always would wind up back to sort of what felt right to me was very different from the advice that I had been given in the business community.”

Krystal Weigl Headshot

Krystal Weigl: This is Not Your Father’s Law Firm

“The experience of going through the legal process is supposed to be about seeking justice. More often than not, people go through it and they’re just as scared and almost re-traumatized as they were when the injustice happened.”

Sara Joern Headshot

Sara Joern: EMDR, Trauma, and the Path to Healing

“The difference between traditional talk therapy and EMDR is that traditional talk therapy is kind of what I was talking about—the superficial level of learning skills to manage the symptom—whereas EMDR gets rid of the symptoms.”

Zoe Taylor Headshot

Zoe Taylor: Serving Doctors While Saving Herself

“These are brilliant people. But they’ve been so hyper focused on their career path that they don’t have the greatest life skills. They don’t know how to manage their finances, they don’t know how to buy a house, they don’t know what to budget for.”
