Opening Keynote: Brave Your Fears: Fear is personal. It commandeers our spirit and handcuffs our will. In striving to be “fearless,” we reinforce the idea that life is best lived without fear. But is it? Fear is real. What we truly mean when we commend someone for their fearlessness is that we value their bravery. The point isn’t to fear less—it’s to brave more. Drawing from data on thousands of women, including Women Spanning the Globe participants, Brave Enterprises presents a powerful case for fear as both an alarm and an engine for courageous action, and a case for bravery as a vital lever to confidence. This potent keynote will ignite your joy in concert with your fear, guiding you to unlock your bravery and build your BOOM.
