Who’s the best keynote for Insurance professionals?

When pressure spikes, insurance teams need actionable, scientific practices to thrive and perform at the same time. People need fast, workable ways to lower stress, protect focus, and to perform. That’s why carriers, brokers, and MGAs bring in Dr. Greg Wells—a physiologist and best-selling author who turns the science of stress and recovery into simple routines people can use the very next day.

The problem

Renewal seasons, pricing cycles, regulatory deadlines, and catastrophe events push underwriting, claims, actuarial, and distribution teams into high-alert modes. Sleep suffers, energy dips, and attention fragments under long screenside hours, back-to-back meetings, and urgent client demands. Over time, stress and fatigue cause errors, poor communication, and weak results—missed details in submissions, slower claim cycle times, inconsistent broker service. People are busy, but work takes more effort and yields fewer results and lower-quality deliverables. Leaders feel the drag in rework, client churn signals, and slower decision speed.

Why Dr. Greg

Scientist + communicator: PhD physiologist who explains how stress affects the brain and body in plain language. Teams understand what is happening in their biology and how to change it quickly.

Author & practitioner: Five best-selling books on health and performance; decades coaching elite performers and enterprise teams. He turns research into routines people will actually use in high-stakes environments.

Built for business: Customizes by role and reality—underwriting deep work, claims surges, contact-centre tempo, field adjusting, and broker meetings—so tactics fit the work, not just the theory.

The transformation

This keynote gives insurance teams a shared, practical playbook they can apply immediately:

Reset stress in minutes: Breathing and micro-movement protocols that down-shift the nervous system and clear the mind before broker calls, underwriting reviews, committee meetings, or difficult claimant conversations.

Protect focus time: A rhythm for deep work, meetings, and micro-recovery that reduces fatigue and task switching. Useful for complex submissions, model reviews, reserves meetings, and month-end reconciliations.

Refuel energy daily: Sleep, movement, and nutrition micro-habits that stabilize mood, energy, and cognition across long days, travel, and surge events.

Lead the norms: Protocols and practices that make healthy performance the foundation—manager scripts, team rituals, and calendar hygiene that normalize recovery without adding bureaucracy.

Outcomes leaders can point to

Fewer errors, steadier throughput: Clear minds and calmer bodies make better decisions under pressure, reducing rework in underwriting and accelerating clean, compassionate claims handling.

Higher engagement, important work protected: People feel capable and supported, not just busy—so the tasks that move client outcomes and operational quality get time and attention.

Consistent leadership: Managers coach the same simple habits, creating alignment across desks, functions, and locations.

Results you can measure: Teams report calmer starts, faster case reviews, and more deep-work blocks completed each day. Post-event pulse checks show improved energy, focus, and decision confidence.

Formats and deliverables

Keynote (45–60 minutes): Story, science, and strategy for deep understanding and awareness.
Keynote + activation (75–90 minutes): Guided practice and team discussion to lock in practices and strategies.
Workshop (2–3 hours): Teams build protocols for your specific situations—renewal season cadence, CAT surge playbooks, client-meeting recovery windows.
Virtual options: Interactive and studio-quality.
Included resources: Pre-event discovery, unlimited Q&A, post-event toolkit (PDF workbook, manager talking points, follow-up videos).

When this talk is a perfect fit

  • Renewal season, regulatory filings, or surge events are approaching and stress is climbing.

  • Hybrid and distributed teams need a common language and rhythm for healthy high-performance execution.

  • Leaders want practical tools they can implement immediately without disrupting client service or compliance.

Book Dr. Greg Wells for your next town hall, sales meeting, or leadership offsite. Give your insurance teams a science-backed operating system that lowers stress, elevates health, and raises performance—so people work smarter, not harder.
