Rewriting the Narratives Keeping You Stuck (feat. Nancy Burger)

Nancy Burger is a thought transformation expert, keynote speaker, and executive coach who helps leaders and teams rewire limiting thought patterns to unlock breakthrough performance. A former Wall Street banker turned professional writer, Nancy blends neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and storytelling to show how changing our inner dialog changes everything from collaboration to culture to results. Her work centers on helping leaders build awareness around emotions, replace default thought patterns with intentional choices, and create environments grounded in trust, curiosity, and growth. Through her coaching, workshops, and keynote experiences, Nancy equips executives and managers with practical tools to navigate overwhelm, challenge imposter thinking, and model vulnerability in ways that strengthen team connection and drive healthier, more sustainable performance.

Key Takeaways:

1. Leaders cannot control feelings, but they can choose their thoughts and responses.
2. Vulnerability builds trust. Ask your team “more of, less of, start, stop.”
3. Reframe problems as learning and growth opportunities.
4. Rewiring thought patterns takes consistent practice for about 2 to 6 weeks.
5. In difficult moments, stay curious and ask for examples before responding.
