Ever felt like you’re doing your best to lead — yet somehow losing touch with the person you were when you started?

You catch yourself nodding along to things you don’t believe in, giving feedback that gets softened to fit the script, or being praised for your “resilience” when really, you’re just surviving.

You’re not broken — the system is.

In this talk Geoff Watts explores what happens when caring, values-driven people get trapped in environments that reward compliance over courage and offers an alternative: a grounded, human framework for creating change without burning out or selling out.

Blending real stories with grounded psychology, Geoff introduces the Calm REBEL Arc™— five practical steps to help you remember who you are, see your system clearly, and lead with quiet, steady courage.
