Dr. G's mission is simple and transformative: create a more resilient society by shifting how we think about - and respond to - stress.
Whether she’s addressing executive teams or inspiring educators, her message bridges science and humanity — showing leaders, staff, and youth how to navigate change with confidence and clarity.
Stress is a tool not a toxin.
The Problem
Change is constant, but most people aren’t equipped to handle it.
Across organizations, teams and individuals, the same question echoes:
“Why can’t people accept change faster and handle stress better?”
The Solution
The Solution
Whether she’s in a boardroom or a school auditorium, Dr. G delivers one universal truth:
“Stress isn’t the problem. How we respond to it is the problem. And fixing that is the solution."
Dr. G helps people see stress for what it truly is: a tool for growth, not a threat to avoid. As a physician, resilience researcher, and change navigation expert, she translates neuroscience into clear, practical steps that help organizations, educators, and communities shift their mindset and strengthen their response to stress.

The Strategy
The Resilience Cycle
Dr. G’s talks are built around her signature Resilience Cycle — a neuroscience-based framework that applies to every age and environment.
Her three-part system gives every audience a roadmap to handle stress and change effectively:
-
Shift: how you think about stress - from toxin to tool
-
Strengthen: resilience through intentional, skill building practice
-
Strategize: systems that cause people to thrive during transition, not resist it
For leaders, this means rolling out change with less pushback and more alignment.
For youth professionals, it means teaching resilience as a life skill kids can actually use.
The Results
Dr. G leaves every audience with actionable tools, powerful perspective and a renewed commitment to purpose.
When companies and organizations learn to “do stress better,” everything changes:
-
Reduced burnout and higher energy across departments and classrooms
-
Improved retention of staff and engagement
-
Healthier communication and trust between leaders, employees, educators, and youth
-
Greater innovation readiness — people feel safe enough to take smart risks and grow
