When meeting professionals want a stress-free event, Sharon Weinstein is the answer!

In a world where workplace pressure is rising and employee expectations are shifting rapidly, organizations need more than inspiration — they need transformation. Meet the “Stressbuster,” TEDx Speaker, Lifetime Achievement Award winner, trailblazer, and an undeniably unstoppable force in the world of human performance and well-being...Sharon M. Weinstein.

Sharon guides individuals and teams through the pressures of a fast-paced, ever-evolving world, helping them navigate stress, overcome fear, and thrive both personally and professionally. Her journey began inside a box – with limits, doubt, and fear – the epitome of stress. She knows the questions that hold us back:
What if I fail?
What will others think?
Who am I to even try?

Fear wasn’t the enemy – it was a signal that she was on the brink of something bigger. By learning to think differently, Sharon moved from surviving to serving, from invisible to unstoppable, and ultimately created a life she designed on her terms. Today, she empowers others to do the same – break free from the box, reimagine possibilities, and step boldly from a stressful environment into transformation.

As a design thinker, innovator, and creator of Harmony by Design, Sharon delivers solutions that balance work, life, and leadership. With a global footprint spanning more than 50 countries and every U.S. state and Canadian province, she elevates connections, conversations, and cultures. Sharon helps teams navigate complexity with confidence, leaving a lasting impact on culture, engagement, and productivity. As an NSA-Certified Speaking Professional, Master Storyteller, and dynamic Keynote Speaker and Emcee, she captivates audiences with energy, humor, and authenticity – creating experiences that leave people inspired, engaged, and asking for more.

Sharon Weinstein delivers — every time.
More than an introduction—this is an invitation to connect, be inspired, and experience the journey from box to unstoppable alongside a leader who has turned courage and innovation into real-world impact.

Sharon empowers teams to achieve balance, cultivate well-being, unlock potential, and drive lasting change—all while embodying the transformation she inspires.

Crisis and Stress Management

In times of crisis, we respond by calling 911 or starting CPR if needed. But how do we address the unique crises our first responders face? The role is innately stressful and is impacted by staffing, the environment, and crises, small and large. It’s time to take your temp, starting with your thoughts, energy, mood, and perspective!

Is your performance impaired because you are overworked and out of balance? Are you unable to do it all and manage the workload? You are only as good as you are balanced! If you do not take the time for yourself—yes, even with the array of responsibilities pressuring you now—you will not be the best you can be. That personal best will enable you to achieve your goals and keep your health.

In this interactive session, our speaker will take you through five essential steps that will get you to balance, reduce your stress, and allow you to survive and thrive! This presentation addresses the critical aspects of crisis and stress management explicitly tailored for first responders. It explores individuals' unique challenges in these roles and offers practical strategies to cope with high-stress situations effectively. Enhancing resilience and promoting self-care allows first responders to optimize their performance and well-being, ultimately
improving emergency outcomes.
