Topics, sessions and talks
Why do some highly successful people thrive under pressure while others eventually burn out? Drawing on more than two decades as a clinical psychologist and performance expert, Dr. Lamees Khorshid explores the psychology behind sustainable high performance, from the habits that protect energy to the self-defeating patterns that quietly drain it. Leaders and teams come away with practical strategies to manage stress, regulate emotions, build resilience, and perform at their best without sacrificing their health, relationships, or happiness.
What's the key to happiness at work, and why is it so hard to switch off, even when we're exhausted? Dr. Lamees Khorshid explains what happens when an overstimulated nervous system never gets the chance to rest, and how busy professionals can keep achieving without running on empty. Drawing on clinical practice and evidence-based research, she shares habits that calm the body and mind, improve sleep, ease anxiety, and break the cycle of exhaustion and overperformance.
Technical skills may help people succeed, but emotional intelligence often determines how effectively they lead, communicate, and influence others. Dr. Lamees Khorshid shows audiences how to increase self-awareness, regulate emotional reactions, read interpersonal dynamics, and manage difficult conversations with confidence. Drawing on two decades of clinical and coaching work with executives, she translates psychological science into tools leaders can apply straight away. Particularly relevant for executive and leadership teams, the session leaves people ready to communicate with greater impact.
Resilience isn't about avoiding adversity; it's about developing the psychological skills to move through it. Combining clinical expertise with her own experience of navigating profound life change, Dr. Lamees Khorshid explores what actually helps people adapt during uncertainty, loss, setbacks, and transitions. It's a candid, practical session that gives audiences tools to manage difficult emotions, regain a sense of control, and emerge from challenging periods with greater clarity, focus, and strength.
Our relationships are shaped by patterns we often don't even realize we're repeating. Dr. Lamees Khorshid explains the psychology behind attraction, conflict, communication, emotional triggers, and connection, using relatable examples drawn from two decades in clinical practice. She helps audiences recognize their own patterns and understand why the same frictions keep resurfacing with colleagues, partners, and family. People leave with actionable strategies to communicate more effectively, navigate conflict, set healthier boundaries, and build stronger relationships at work and at home.
