About this event
Leadership isn’t tested when everything’s calm. It’s tested when the pressure’s on.
Doing Braver Sh*t – Meltdown is an immersive leadership experience that ditches the theory and throws you straight into practice. Think high-stakes problem solving, fast decisions, unexpected twists… AKA the kind of pressure that brings out your instinctive behaviours and shows how you and your people really respond under stress.
It’s about making stress, pressure, and psychological safety tangible. You’ll notice how leadership styles collide under pressure, how teams navigate uncertainty, and what happens when psychological safety shifts in the heat of the moment.
It’s about getting out of your own way and challenging assumptions, noticing patterns, and shifting your perceptions. All in a fun (and yes, slightly trapped) environment that combines pressure, perspective, and team connection.
You’ll walk away with:
💥 A clearer picture of your personal “pressure style” and leadership approach
💥Practical insights into how psychological safety shifts in high-pressure moments – both for you and your team
💥 Shared reflection on emotional intelligence, collective dynamics, and decision-making under pressure
This is not a panel talk. It’s not a PowerPoint. It’s a chance to test yourself, reflect honestly, and leave with new tools (and stories) that stick.

How does it work?
You’ll start with a quick briefing to set the stage, then dive into three hands-on challenges designed to simulate real-world pressure. Each task pushes you to solve puzzles, make fast decisions, and navigate unexpected twists – all while revealing how stress shows up in your leadership style.
It’s structured but unpredictable – you’ll think, act, and adapt in the moment, all alongside other leaders navigating the same pressure. By the end, you’ll be clear on your instincts, what worked (and didn’t), and draw out insights you can carry back to your teams.

Frequently asked questions
You’ll be thrown into immersive, team-based challenges that ramp up the pressure and bring your instinctive behaviours to the surface. Expect puzzles, curveballs, and moments where you’ll feel stretched!
Both. You’re bringing your whole self, and we’re just creating the space for that to happen.
Yes. We price at cost to keep it accessible but intentional. It’s not a workshop. It’s not a lecture. It’s an experience–and one that people often say changes how they think, lead, and live.
Come casual and comfortable. You won’t need laptops or notepads–just yourself, your curiosity, and a willingness to get stuck in.
This is a collaboration between Braver Leader and Get Your Sh*t Together (GYST)–two coaching collectives who help people lead with guts and grow with grace. For this event, we’ve also teamed up with The Cyber Escape Room Co. and JAAQ at Work to to deliver an experience like no other.
