Impact Lunch with David Papa: Leading with courage — transforming fear into freedom
We live in a time of constant change, where uncertainty often feels like the new normal. Many of us try to stay calm and keep going, but underneath, fear often shapes our choices more than we realize.
Fear of failing.
Fear of not being enough.
Fear of what might happen next.
Fear can quietly guide our work, our relationships, and even our dreams. But what if fear is not an enemy to fight, but a teacher to understand?
In this evening with David Papa, we will explore how to turn fear into a source of energy, connection, and freedom. Through reflection, movement, and conversation, you will learn how to calm your body, find clarity, and lead from courage instead of pressure.
After the workshop, we will share a Venezuelan lunch from Areparna and good company. Expect honest conversations, laughter, and a sense of ease as we explore what it means to live and lead with more freedom.
