Leading Through Chaos

In this practical, experience-led keynote, Hélio will show you how to prepare before pressure hits, stay on your feet when things go sideways, and make the call when decisions have to be made with incomplete information and real consequences.

Most talks on crisis leadership are built from theory, case studies, or hindsight. This one is built from moments where getting it wrong had immediate, physical consequences. Drawing on his background in skydiving, stunts such as sword juggling and glasswalking, extreme sports, and special operations training, Hélio takes you inside what a crisis really feels like when your nervous system is under attack and your margin for error disappears.
