Keynote excerpt

Is Your Handbrake On?

See how an invisible emotional handbrake can interrupt momentum—even after someone has found the courage to begin.

“Every day your handbrake is on is a day someone else crosses the finish line you wanted to reach.”

What quietly costs a team momentum

Your people know what to do. But difficult moments can still change what they do next.

A lost deal. A dismissive prospect. A goal that suddenly feels out of reach. The moment may be over, but the emotional reaction can follow a sales professional straight into the next opportunity.

01

They carry the last conversation forward.

Frustration, disappointment, or self-doubt changes the energy they bring to the next prospect.

02

They hesitate when momentum matters.

They delay the follow-up, avoid the difficult call, or hold back when the opportunity requires courage.

03

They protect themselves instead of performing.

The emotional handbrake feels protective—but it quietly limits action, connection, and results.

The real issue

The problem is not always a lack of skill or motivation. Sometimes, it is an emotional reaction that has not been reset.

The UNBLOCKED reset

A practical reset for the moments that affect performance.

Sales professionals do not need to deny what they feel or wait for a difficult reaction to disappear. They need a repeatable way to notice what is happening, interrupt its hold, and choose what happens next.

1

Recognize

Name the handbrake

Notice the thought, physical signal, or hesitation that reveals when a protective reaction has begun influencing performance.

2

Release

Interrupt the hold

Use a practical reset to stop carrying the emotional weight of the previous moment into the opportunity in front of you.

3

Return

Choose the next move

Reconnect with a clear, resourceful state and take the next action with greater confidence, intention, and choice.

The objective

The goal is not to eliminate difficult moments. It is to shorten the distance between disruption and effective action.

What participants take with them

A reset they can use after the room empties.

UNBLOCKED gives sales professionals a practical way to respond when rejection, disappointment, pressure, or self-doubt threatens to follow them into the next opportunity.

The value is not a temporary burst of motivation. It is greater choice in the moments that shape performance.
  • Recognize emotional carryover earlier Notice when the last conversation is beginning to influence the next one.
  • Recover more intentionally after setbacks Move through rejection or disappointment without allowing it to dictate the next action.
  • Interrupt hesitation and avoidance Identify the protective response behind delayed follow-up, overpreparation, or holding back.
  • Access a more resourceful state Use an intentional anchor to reconnect with focus, confidence, calm, or determination.
  • Enter the next conversation with greater choice Respond to the opportunity in front of them instead of reacting from what happened before it.
More consistent action
Stronger conversations
Less opportunity lost to emotional carryover

One message. Two ways to experience it.

Choose the format that fits your event.

UNBLOCKED can create a memorable shift from the stage or give your team additional time to experience and practice the reset together.

Why Tali

A speaker who understands both performance—and the person performing.

Tali Lindberg brings together business training, entrepreneurial experience, and advanced coaching tools to address the human reactions that conventional performance training often leaves untouched.

After earning her MBA from the Yale School of Management, Tali followed an unconventional path through education, entrepreneurship, and transformational coaching. Along the way, she became deeply interested in a question that affects every high performer: Why do capable people sometimes hold themselves back even when they know exactly what to do?

UNBLOCKED grew from Tali’s own unforgettable experience of stopping her momentum on a one-mile zipline by unknowingly squeezing the handbrake. Today, she uses that story—and a practical emotional-reset process—to help audiences recognize what is happening beneath hesitation and regain the ability to choose their next move.

Event planner FAQ

A few things you may want to know.

Every event is different. These answers will help you determine whether UNBLOCKED may fit your audience and objectives.

Who is UNBLOCKED designed for?

UNBLOCKED is designed for professionals who must move from one consequential interaction to the next without allowing stress, rejection, frustration, or disappointment to compromise their performance. It is especially relevant for sales teams, client-facing professionals, leaders, and other high-performance audiences.

What is the difference between the keynote and workshop?

The 30–45 minute keynote creates a memorable shift in perspective through story, insight, and practical application. The 90-minute interactive workshop gives participants more time to identify a personally relevant emotional handbrake, experience a guided reset, and create a cue for accessing a more useful state.

Will Tali customize the presentation for our audience?

Yes. Tali begins with a planning conversation to understand your audience, event objectives, industry language, and the real situations in which participants need to perform. The central UNBLOCKED framework remains consistent, while examples and emphasis are adapted to make the experience relevant.

Will participants be asked to disclose private experiences?

No. Participants can engage with the material without publicly sharing personal details. In the workshop, reflection is guided with care and participants retain choice over what they explore and disclose.

Can UNBLOCKED be delivered in person or virtually?

Yes. Both formats can be adapted for in-person or virtual delivery. Tali will discuss the event format, audience size, technology, and interaction level with you during the planning process.

What does Tali need from our team before the event?

Tali will need a planning contact, the event schedule, audience background, desired outcomes, and relevant logistical or audiovisual information. A concise pre-event alignment conversation helps ensure that the presentation serves the larger purpose of your event.

What happens after we submit an inquiry?

Tali will review the information and contact you to schedule a conversation. Together, you will discuss the audience, event goals, preferred format, timing, logistics, and next steps. Submitting an inquiry does not obligate you to book.
