Fear as the door to untapped potential: Reflection, Connection & Brave Nonsense

DESCRIPTION:
In this refreshingly real and interactive session, pro skydiver and speaker Melanie Curtis guides participants into a powerful exploration of the fear of humiliation—one of the most common and quietly paralyzing blocks to bold action and authentic leadership. Through intimate reflection, brave conversation, and a joyfully ridiculous group exercise, attendees will unpack past experiences and rewire their relationship with fear in real time. Come ready to connect deeply, laugh loudly, and leave with an embodied understanding of how choosing courage over comfort opens the door to your fullest potential.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
  • Identify how the fear of humiliation shows up in professional settings and how it influences decision-making and behavior.
  • Reflect and connect with others on past experiences of holding back due to fear (totally normal, btw!).
  • Normalize vulnerability through shared storytelling to build psychological safety and deepen team cohesion.
  • Experience the liberating power of intentional silliness to reduce fear’s grip and expand personal confidence in high-stakes roles.

“I meant what I said about this being your true calling. You are in the life changing business and I’ll never forget the change you have made in mine and my family’s. I will be eternally thankful. You are a true pro and a master of your craft, so much in fact that one doesnt really even notice your influence at the time, only that suddenly that there is a significant improvement in an area where there hadn’t been any. That is what a true natural talent looks like. Regardless of the profession, the best always make it look effortless and your methods reflect that. For the first time in a very long time I feel mentally and emotionally dialed in, and it’s great.”

Obviously I was curious enough to still try it… I’m sure you’re told often that you hit the nail on the head so easily it seems. I’m speechless lol not a familiar thing for me. Thank you a million times over. I don’t think you’re trying to sell me but you have.”
