Calm in Chaos: The Resilience Shortcut™ for Frontline Healthcare Teams
In today’s healthcare environment, resilience isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. But most wellness strategies ask already-exhausted professionals to do more.
Calm in the Chaos introduces a refreshingly simple approach: The Resilience Shortcut™—a science-backed method for using what staff are already doing (drinking coffee, walking between patients, etc.) as tools to regulate stress, recover emotional energy, and reconnect with purpose.
Bestselling author and health expert Laura Zam combines neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and the lived wisdom of her mother—a Holocaust survivor—to offer a practical, inspiring path forward.
This talk meets people exactly where they are, helping nurses, physicians, techs, and care staff turn micro-moments of delight into a reliable source of calm, connection, and sustainable well-being.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this keynote, participants will be able to:

-
Use the 3-second pleasure technique to reset the nervous system during high-stress moments;
