At the August 2026 Local Networking Nights event, Joe Pane delivered a practical and interactive workshop on:
"Courage to BE YOU — Why Emotional Fitness Helps Leaders Master Uncertainty"
In this session, Joe explains why comfort quietly erodes a leader's capability when it isn't balanced with deliberately chosen challenge. He shares why emotions respond to the meaning we give events rather than the events themselves, and how uncertainty shows up across five distinct levels. Joe helps business owners recognise where they're avoiding the hard thing, build the emotional fitness to lead through pressure, and take practical steps toward becoming more resilient leaders.
