About The Event
Risk-taking in uncertainty isn’t reckless—it’s essential. In this science-backed session with IHHP, board directors explored the neuroscience behind leadership hesitation and how to overcome it with courage, clarity, and purpose.
Dr. JP Pawliw-Fry shared insights from his research on the “Last 8%”—the critical decisions leaders avoid—and offered practical tools to build emotional resilience under pressure. Attendees left empowered to foster boardroom cultures that embrace calculated risk, move faster, and lead boldly through disruption.
