Dr. Romie's Most Popular Keynotes
Bridging the Hope Gap: Building a Resilient, Purpose-Driven Workplace Culture
One of the biggest contributors to stress, burnout, and disengagement in the workplace is the Hope Gap—the disconnection between employees’ aspirations and the reality of their daily work. When individuals feel stuck in roles that don’t align with their purpose or can’t see a clear path forward, motivation falters, performance drops and workplace culture deteriorates.
In this powerful talk, I’ll help leaders identify and close the Hope Gap, creating environments where employees feel truly valued, engaged, and inspired to do their best work. Drawing on a science-backed framework, I’ll share practical, actionable strategies that leaders can implement to reignite purpose, foster psychological safety, and cultivate a resilient, high-performing workforce.

In this powerful and transformative talk, Dr. Romie Mushtaq reveals how the highest-performing leaders cultivate the mental clarity, emotional resilience, and focus necessary to sustain peak performance. Dr. Romie, author of the USA Today best-seller The Busy Brain Cure, draws on insights from psychology, neuroscience, and leadership research to demonstrate how managing your energy can directly influence team morale, productivity, and overall success.
Through actionable strategies and science-backed tools, she empowers leaders to heal their “Busy Brain” and create the mental and emotional space needed for optimal performance—both for themselves and their teams.

Dr. Romie’s four-step framework will empower you to confidently navigate change: Define the chaos, lead with empathy and emotional intelligence, cultivate hope and purpose within teams, and implement mindfulness techniques to boost focus, well-being, and resilience.
