I/RISE: Power of Language

Should you go to the gym today or not? Should you launch the business or stay at the job you hate? Should you confront the slacking team member or leave it? Every day we make an average of 35 000 decisions, many of which leave us confused, disheartened and doubtful that we made the correct choices.

So why do most of our decisions about work, love and life leave us feeling this way? Because they are made from undealt with fear. With a lack of access to knowledge, tools and empowering language, fear can play a destructive role in our lives.

In this event, founders, behavioural experts, and business professionals share their insights into leveraging fear to make better decisions. Expect a profound keynote delivered by I/RISE co-founder Bianca Zwart and a panel discussion led by co-founder Tarina Meiring with leading industry experts, including entrepreneur and leading strategist Kimberly Ofori and neuroscience for business expert Bogdan Manta.

Bianca Zwart, co-founder of I/RISE will deliver a keynote presentation around her recent kickboxing fight and what stepping into a ring - in the physical sense or the ring of life - could do for you when you make fear your friend.

During the panel discussion, How are your decisions influenced by fear, and what to do about it?, expect insights from the panel members' respective backgrounds and how they view decision-making in their fields. This discussion aims to explore and offer contextual, real-life insights and experiences around decision-making in personal and professional settings.
