Why We Retreat

The fear that sits beneath every stalled decision, and how to stay in the room when it shows up.

Wednesday, September 30, 20265:00 to 6:00 PM ETOnline · FreeLive with Glenn

The recording gives you the hour. The live session gives you Glenn, answering your question in the room.

You can't reinvent without first earning conviction.

Every leader knows the moment. You see the right thing to do, and then fear arrives, fear of judgment, of losing belonging, of getting it wrong, and you retreat to the familiar. This session is about that exact moment, and building the capacity to stay.
