Impact Dinner with David Papa: Why fear is your silent CEO — and how to fire it
The world’s gone a little mad — wars, political chaos, AI revolutions, collapsing systems, too much information, not knowing who or what to trust. There’s no going "back." The world will never be the same again.
Most of us are pretending everything is normal and we’re just fine. But actually, we’re afraid.
Afraid of what’s coming.
Of losing everything.
Of being wrong, of failing, of not being enough.
Of being left behind or cast aside.
Of facing something horrible.
Of not knowing our part to play — or what the hell to do about it.
This is fear. And it’s quietly running the show.
Fear is the silent CEO of most people’s work and lives.
It sits in the corner of every meeting, signing off on every “safe” decision and vetoing the bold ones before they can even be discussed.
It’s been running your company, your calendar, and your love life. It manages your image, your choices, your actions, and your silence.
It’s the leader that most people refuse to even look at. And that's what gives it power.
But not you. Not anymore.
What if this silent CEO actually wants to be seen?
What if this fear holds the key to your greatest treasure?
What if today's chaos is the best invitation we’ve ever had to wake up — and lead from truth and freedom?
It’s time!
Join us in overthrowing the old leadership — starting with fear.
Forget about “clarity,” “certainty,” or “impact.” Those are comfort blankets.
We’re here for truth. For aliveness. For lovingly embracing the chaos for our own success.
Come fire your invisible boss. Reclaim who you are and what you’re here to do.
This event is part workshop, part dinner, part experiment in radical honesty.
You’ll laugh, move, and maybe feel things you didn’t expect.
You’ll find the places fear hides in your decisions, leadership, relationships — and learn how to collect it's gifts and stop letting it run your life.
Because that's how we all get through these crazy times whole, intact, and in love.
