The Performance Problem Hiding in Plain Sight
Poor mental clarity isn’t just affecting your people after hours. It’s showing up in your results.
​​
In Australia, over $900 million is lost every day due to the impact of poor mental health — including mental overload — on productivity, presenteeism and absenteeism.
​
Which means mental overload isn’t a soft-skill gap. It’s a performance problem.
​
Smart leaders don’t throw more mindset tools at the problem. They invest in helping people understand how their mind works, so they can reduce cognitive load, think more clearly, and make sharper decisions.
Because when we feel better, we perform better.​
Signature Talk
Mind Full or Mindful?
Why clever people overthink - and the neuroscience that shows how to stop it.
​​
In a world of constant input, clever people aren’t underperforming — they’re over-functioning.
Burning mental energy trying to keep up. Stuck in rework, indecision, and late-night rumination. Not because they’re incapable, but because their brain is working against them.
Organisations spend thousands on productivity tools… but if the mind behind the task is overloaded, none of them work.
The consequences of mental overload show up everywhere:
-
Slower decisions and constant second-guessing
-
Emotional reactivity in leadership moments
-
Wasted time reworking tasks that weren’t clear to begin with
-
Communication breakdowns under pressure
-
Burnout, absenteeism - and presenteeism that looks like productivity, but isn’t
But what if overthinking isn’t the problem… just the symptom of something deeper?
In this high-impact session, Rebekah unpacks the neuroscience of mental overload and shows audiences how to change the way their mind works — not through surface-level hacks, but through evidence-based methods that improve how people think, lead, and operate under pressure.
This is more than mindset and motivation.
With warmth, wit and zero fluff, Rebekah transforms how your audience thinks, initiating the process of change – helping them clear their head, make better decisions, and finally switch their brain off at night, so they can perform at their best.
After this session, audiences walk away with:
​
-
A clear understanding of how cognitive load affects their performance and decision-making
-
Language to name what’s going on in their head, and tools to interrupt it in real time
-
A neuroscience-backed framework for clearer thinking and better decision-making under pressure
-
Practical strategies to stop overthinking and mentally switch off... especially at night
-
A felt sense of relief: less pressure, more clarity, better outcomes

Rebekah King has been engaging audiences since her debut as Red Riding Hood in the Year 4 Christmas play - and she’s been on stage in one form or another ever since.

Now a coach, podcaster and speaker - known as The Brain Changer™ - Rebekah speaks on the neuroscience of overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and how to change the way your mind works, without hacks, hype, or affirmations.

What makes her different? Rebekah shows people how to get their brain to work with them, rather than against them. "Just think positively" doesn't come into it!
