Director & Founder of EQ Minds; Author of "The Mindful High Performer" and Mental Health Advocate
Chelsea Pottenger Biography
Chelsea Pottenger knows what it's like to achieve at the highest level and what it costs when you don't protect your mental health along the way.
As a Division 1 basketball athlete in Oklahoma, Pottenger learned early what high performance demanded: discipline, resilience, and relentless drive. She carried that competitive mindset into corporate leadership, where she thrived in high-pressure environments that reward results above all else.
In 2015, following the birth of her daughter, Pottenger experienced severe postnatal depression. A turning point that forced her to confront the unsustainability of her approach to success.
Her recovery became her education. Pottenger retrained, earning a graduate degree in psychology and becoming an accredited Mindfulness & Meditation coach. Through the process, she discovered you don't have to sacrifice your mental health to perform at a high level. When you build the right mental foundation, you perform better for longer.
Today, as founder of EQ Minds and author of "The Mindful High Performer," Pottenger has trained over two million people globally. She’s a mental health ambassador for Gidget Foundation Australia and a media contributor to Sunrise, ABC News, Channel 9, and Marie Claire.
Pottenger is sought after by global organizations for her ability to translate psychology into practical tools that help high performers succeed without burning out.

Chelsea Pottenger Speaking Topics

The Mindful Communicator: Human Connection in the Age of AI
AI is the dominant topic on the circuit right now -- and it's getting more specific. Organizations are no longer just asking what AI can do. They're asking what their people can do that AI cannot.
This session answers that question directly: with the communication, connection, and trust-building skills that are emerging as the next great differentiator -- for every team, in every high-stakes room.
Why This Works For Your Team
We are at the very beginning of a human connection renaissance. As AI handles more of the cognitive load, your highest performers are being asked to do what technology cannot: build genuine relationships, communicate with trust and influence, and show up as their best selves -- consistently.
What Chelsea brings is the neuroscience and psychology behind what actually sustains human performance in the age of AI -- practical tools that drive real behavioral change, not just one inspiring afternoon.
Audience: Corporate and enterprise teams across all sectors -- tech, entertainment, healthcare, finance, universities and beyond
Session Format:
- Keynote or workshop-style -- 45, 60 or 90 minutes, in-person or virtual
- Flexible format: standalone keynote, multi-session series, or ongoing quarterly program

The Mindful High Performer: Peak Performance Without Burnout
High-achieving teams don't hit walls because of a lack of ambition -- they hit them because of unsustainable systems. When your best people are running on empty, the results show up before they do.
Chelsea Pottenger brings the performance science elite athletes use, adapted for the real demands of corporate and sales environments. Practical, evidence-based tools that keep high-performing teams sharp, focused, and competitive -- quarter after quarter.
Why This Works For Your Team
Your highest performers are also your most at risk. The pressure to deliver -- across long sales cycles, constant travel, back-to-back client interactions -- creates an invisible performance drain that shows up in results long before anyone names it.
Audience: All staff including, managers, sales, marketing, legal and commercial teams.
Session Format:
- Keynote or workshop-style -- 45, 60 or 90 minutes, in-person or virtual
- Option to add breakout group sessions or post-workshop coaching
