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.
