F-OFF: Fear of Failure Forum - The Energised Leader

ABOUT F-OFF

The fear of failure holds us back from developing our full potential. It robs the world of new ideas, brilliant innovators and impactful leaders. It can lead to feelings of anxiety, fatigue and isolation.

F-OFF is the Fear of Failure Forum, a movement to say “F-OFF” to our fear of failure. It is a space for people who want to leave an impact on the world; who are moving past fear into aliveness.

ABOUT THIS EVENT

We can slip into fear mode when we have low energy. “Hustle & Grind” culture can drive talented leaders to burnout. We all want to know how we can generate the energy to realise big, bold visions, whilst taking care of our bodies.

The theme for this special F-OFF event is “The Energised Leader”.

As our first event back since 2017 we thought a call-back to the start would be fitting. We ask 3 inaugural speakers to share where they are at now. How have they said “F-OFF” to their fear of failure? What were some wins and lessons? What are their energy levels like and how can we learn from their journey?

We partner with Breathe Me to facilitate our transformative breathing workshop. They harness the breath to dissolve fear, generate energy and inspire connection. We first came across Angie and Shane Saunders of Breathe Me in Bali at the Bali A-Fest transformational summit by Mindvalley in November 2018. Over 300 leaders in the room experienced a state that shows how the breath can be a powerful tool to reclaim your energy.

ABOUT BREATHEME

Being an Energised Leader is all about controlling your body’s energy and using that energy to perform at your peak. We work predominantly with leaders within organisations, helping them to boost their productivity, improve their sleep, memory and focus while creating a business culture of success and well-being.
