Be Fearless
How will you conquer the unknown?
Private Virtual Roundtable
14th March, 2-3pm GMT (3-4pm CET)
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it."
Today’s leaders are navigating uncharted territories. With rapid advancements in technology, ongoing socio-political pressures, and heightened boardroom expectations, standing still isn’t an option; leaders must be prepared to take the step into the unknown.
The challenge, that’s easier said than done. Amongst the traditional barriers that prevent leaders from embracing change, emerges an intricate interplay between a lack of psychological safety within their organisation and a heightened anxiety towards uncertainty [Forbes, 2023]. And with the distinction between leaders and followers hinging on their ability to confront challenges head-on, senior leaders must recognise that managing the fear of failure is essential for growth.
Fear of the unknown will impede innovation and agility, and will jeopardise an organisation’s long term viability. So, whilst the unknown looks different to everybody, a shared obstacle emerges: fear. How will you be fearless and make a lasting impact in 2024 and beyond?

Speaker - Axel Brown
A Trinidadian-British athlete, Axel made the decision to represent Trinidad and Tobago, making history when he became the only athlete at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics to organise their own entire federation and compete. At the age of 20, Axel was not competing in sports, and in just eight years he was able to turn himself into an Olympian, pushing both his mental and physical boundaries to the limit.
In 2021, Axel made the decision to begin representing his mother’s homeland of Trinidad and Tobago, going on to finish 3rd at the 2022 North American Cup, marking his prominence in bobsleigh as the first Caribbean bobsledder to finish on the podium of a 4-man race. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Axel and his teammate Andre were the first people to represent Trinidad and Tobago since the year of 2002, finishing the competition in 28th place – the highest Trinidad and Tobago have placed at the Winter Olympics.
