Beth Bishop

Beth Bishop is a TEDx speaker, nervous system regulation expert, and founder and CEO of The Phoenix Effect, a holistic fitness and corporate wellness company in Los Angeles. For over 18 years she has helped high performers do what willpower alone never could: regulate stress at the source and unlock the focus, energy, and clarity that drive real results.

Beth makes the science of the nervous system practical. No theory anyone forgets by Friday. She gives audiences simple, body-first tools they can use the moment stress hits, then carry into their highest-pressure days. Her signature method, Stop. Drop. Regulate., is trusted by teams at Fortune 500 companies nationwide to move from reactive to regulated.

A trusted advisor and coach to leaders at companies like Google and SoCalGas, Beth has built her reputation on one simple truth: you cannot out-perform a dysregulated nervous system. On stage she is part scientist, part coach, and all energy, leaving every room with practical tools and a felt shift, not just notes. Whether keynoting for hundreds or coaching an executive one-on-one, she helps people stop white-knuckling through their careers and start leading from calm, capable of far more than they thought possible.

Rock the Room: Connection, Creativity & Ideas That Stick

A high-energy, one-hour session before our SITE SoCal Lunch focused on creative ways to break the ice, build connections and increase audience participation at events. Rather than simply talking about engagement, we will experience several ideas firsthand and then use the collective creativity in the room to build an even bigger takeaway list.

Charity — Find Your Anchor

During next week’s event, we’re proud to support an organization whose mission reflects what hospitality professionals do best: create meaningful experiences through small acts of kindness.

Find Your Anchor is a grassroots suicide prevention and mental health awareness movement that believes everyone needs an “anchor” - those little joys, moments, and connections that help us weather life’s challenges. Through their signature blue boxes, they provide hope, encouragement, and tangible reminders that no one has to struggle alone.

Help us launch more boxes into the world by making a donation.

When donating, please enter “SITE” in the comments section so we can track our chapter’s impact.

The boxes sponsored through our campaign will be available at our September event for members to take for themselves if needed or to share with someone who could use a reminder that they are supported and incredibly loved.

Together, let’s show the power of hospitality beyond the event space and prove that small acts of kindness can make a lasting difference.

A hand writes “You are so incredibly loved” on a sticky note beside round stickers with the Find Your Anchor logo, a white anchor symbol on a blue background.
