OPENING KEYNOTE ANNOUNCED LEAH GOLDSTEIN
No Limit Mindset: Unlocking Mental Resilience to Achieve the Impossible
Joining us from British Columbia, TIANS is pleased to welcome Leah Goldstein as our Opening Keynote for the 2025 Tourism Summit – Nova Scotia Needs Tourism. For Leah Goldstein, surpassing limits and achieving what many deem impossible is a way of life—not luck or chance. Her unparalleled success in ultra-endurance racing, military leadership, and world championship combat sports is rooted in one fundamental truth: mental strength is the ultimate competitive edge. In this powerful keynote, Leah reveals the No Limit Mindset—the proven mental strategies she uses to cultivate resilience, overcome setbacks, and outperform even the toughest competitors.
Whether you’re facing business obstacles, personal challenges, or elite-level competition, the way you use your mind directly shapes your results. Prepare to shift your perspective on what’s possible and learn how to build mental endurance that fuels higher performance, breakthrough thinking, and lasting success.
