BUL Founders Meetup | How to Master Chaos in 2026 with Rafael Reis
F*ck the Plan: How to Master Chaos in 2026
The world isn’t getting more predictable, and rigid plans don’t survive reality for very long. This session is designed to help founders, operators, and leaders navigate uncertainty with more clarity, confidence, and intention.
Join us in person at HOOD (or online) for an interactive session introducing the Controlled Chaos methodology: a practical framework to help you operate, lead, and make decisions when things don’t go according to plan.
🎤 Facilitated by: Rafael Reis
Rafael, founder of Controlled CHA.OS, has spent over a decade working across education, entrepreneurship, and leadership, supporting individuals and organizations through periods of high complexity and transformation. His work is grounded in a simple belief: when everything feels disorganized, the most powerful solutions are often the simplest ones.
💡 What to expect:
This session is structured around three interconnected pillars:
• Understand & Plan for Change
Learn how to diagnose what “chaos” means in your context, distinguish what you can control, influence, or accept, and design strategies that hold up in constant change.
• Lead & Inspire Change
Explore what leadership looks like under uncertainty; focusing on clarity, presence, shared ownership, and creating commitment through co-creation.
• Empower Personal Change
Strengthen your ability to act under pressure, separate ego from intuition, and use storytelling as an anchor for better long-term decision-making.
This is a practical, reflective session with real-world examples, especially relevant for founders and teams navigating growth, ambiguity, and rapid change.
📅 Date & Time: 26th, 6:00 PM (Lisbon time)
📍 Location: HOOD, Lisbon 🏢 & Online 💻
Come join the conversation, reflect with peers, and leave with tools you can actually use, even when the plan falls apart 🙌
