Andy Bernstein is a highly acclaimed speaker known for his practical and relatable approach to handling challenges. Unlike many speakers, he is able to deliver enlightening and transformational content without relying on jargon or touchy-feeliness.
With a background in writing for the Muppets, Andy brings humor and relevance to his sessions, making them engaging and impactful. Andy's interest in handling change better began during his teenage years, after experiencing the unexpected deaths of his father and little sister. Throughout his twenties, he explored transformational processes and worked as a writer, including a stint with the Muppets. In 2004, he developed a groundbreaking 7-step process that distils breakthroughs into a guided worksheet. Since then, he has been teaching this process to rave reviews. As a busy speaker, Andy has delivered his enlightening sessions through Wharton Executive Education and in financial services firms. His sessions focus on developing stronger leaders and teams by providing a framework and toolkit for audience members to use in their current and future challenges. Central to all of Andy's sessions is his 7-step reframing tool, which helps individuals shift their mindset faster. However, sessions can also be tailored to specific areas, such as teams, families, or organizational change, to make them more relevant and impactful. Andy's expertise and unique approach have been captured in featured videos, including his speaking reel and presentation overviews. His speech topics include mastering stress, resilience, and change; understanding what matters most for happiness and high-performing teams; harnessing the power of crucible experiences; and developing stronger teams using a 7-step reframing tool. Other organizations have praised Andy's sessions as eye-opening, groundbreaking, and beneficial. Participants have found his approach logical, step-by-step, and transformative, providing practical tools to change their perspective and improve their lives. Andy has also published "The Myth of Stress: Where Stress Really Comes From and How to Live a Happier and Healthier Life."
Due to rapid technological innovations in automation, A.I., and brain augmentation, there will be a dramatic disruption in social systems, political norms, and popular expectations. Society will be forced to rethink the nature of work, the way we interact with each other, and the principles on which we organize our societies. Advances in integrating humans and machines that combine analytical processing powers of computers with the creativity that is uniquely human will change how we think and lead.
Andy Bernstein's talk, "Breaking The Stress Cycle," offers practical strategies for managing stress, emphasizing the importance of understanding and interrupting stress patterns for improved mental health and productivity.
In this workshop for teams, we discover what matters most for team performance based on data, and why it’s not talent, motivation, communication, and other assumptions.
If you're considering a resilience keynote, this session offers a fresh perspective. Unlike typical stress management talks, it delves into the work of Hans Selye, the pioneer who coined "stressor" and shaped our understanding of stress. Attendees will learn why Selye's theories were flawed and how they've negatively impacted global well-being. The session reveals the true nature of stress and resilience, debunking the concept of stressors. Participants will discover a new approach to eliminating stress without relying on positive thinking or motivation. Through a series of mind-shifting steps, even skeptical senior audiences will experience a breakthrough.
What matters most for happiness in life? Money? Achievements? Love? We Start by examining the world’s longest study of adult well-being, and why the real answer isn’t any of these things. We also look at the most important thing for high-performing teams (again based on data), and why it’s not talent, willpower, and other common assumptions. And then we discover a tool that helps attendees build both greater well-being and stronger team performance in just 7 steps, with no blame, stigma, or “touchy-feeliness.”
