DEB Talk: Regan Caruthers

Coherent Leadership: Leading From the Heart in a Chaotic World

Featuring Guest Speaker Regan Caruthers

In a time of rapid change, high stress, and constant distraction, leadership requires more than strategy — it requires coherence. In this “Deb Talk,” Regan Caruthers introduces the science of HeartMath and explains how heart–brain alignment transforms communication, decision-making, and resilience in both personal and professional environments.

Drawing from her years of experience teaching at the HeartMath Institute as well as her executive roles in Silicon Valley, Regan demonstrates how emotions influence physiology, how stress undermines performance, and how leaders can shift their internal state in under sixty seconds. Participants will learn:

  • The physiology of coherence and why it matters

  • How stress chemistry affects clarity, productivity, and interpersonal dynamics

  • HeartMath techniques that quickly restore balance and focus

  • How coherent leadership improves team culture and overall outcomes

This talk blends clear science, relatable examples, and practical techniques leaders can put into practice immediately to create healthier workplaces and more effective teams.

Dynamic Women Speaker Series: Regan Cartuthers

Dynamic Women Speaker Series with Regan Caruthers:

Awakening the Wise Heart: Listening for Clarity, Strength, and the Guidance That Knows the Way

Regan Caruthers returns to the Dynamic Women Speaker Series with a powerful continuation of her miraculous story—and an invitation to reconnect with the inner wisdom that guides us all.

Last year, Regan shared how a quiet inner prompting called her back to Missouri, leading her to Washington just before she discovered she was dying from a congenital heart defect. Emergency open heart surgery at Barnes-Jewish Hospital—where she was born—saved her life. When her incision healed in the shape of a cross, she knew something sacred had been working through her all along.

This year's talk widens the circle. Regan invites women into an intimate conversation about the ways we receive guidance—the nudges, the quiet knowings, the signals our bodies send that often protect and direct us before we fully understand why.

As a spiritual teacher, author of Tragic Magic, and founder of Aset Yoga Center, Regan brings together her experience teaching at the HeartMath Institute, her 500+ hours of classical yoga training, her career leading teams in Silicon Valley, and the profound insights that emerged during her recovery.

In this session, you'll discover:

  • How to recognize subtle "whispers" of insight in daily life

  • What happens in your body during stress and overwhelm

  • Simple techniques to create calm and clarity in challenging moments

  • How heart-mind alignment clarifies inner guidance

  • Practical tools for building emotional resilience and steadiness

This is not a lecture—it's a warm, honest, deeply human conversation. An invitation to slow down, breathe, and trust the guidance that has been with you all along.

What to expect:

  • 6:30 – 7:00 PM:
    Mingle and grab a drink.

  • 7:00 – 8:00 PM:
    Take your seat for the discussion!

  • 8:00 – 8:30 PM:

DEB Talk: Marketing Strategy for Small Business | AI & Marketing in 2025

Marketing Strategy for Small Business | AI & Marketing in 2025

The marketing landscape has changed overnight—and most small business owners are still playing by the old rules.

Join Ashley Simmons from S3 Media (Simmons Strategy Solutions) on Tuesday, December 9th at noon at Liberty Hall as we uncover why your marketing efforts aren't delivering results and what successful businesses are doing differently.

You'll discover:

✓ Why AI is reshaping how customers find and trust businesses
✓ Why your competitors seem to be everywhere suddenly
✓ Why having a website and social media isn't cutting it anymore
✓ Why strategic thinking (not more tactics) is what separates growing businesses from stagnant ones

This isn't a how-to workshop. This is the strategic wake-up call that shows you what's at stake and why your business needs executive-level marketing strategy to stay competitive.

Reserve your spot now – Pre-registered attendees will receive a complimentary box lunch. Registration is still open and encouraged (it helps us plan!), but since lunch orders have been submitted, new registrants are welcome to bring their own brown bag lunch.

Upcoming Talks
