Leadership is a dance. For Darragh and Julietta of SAP, too much leadership advice focuses on the head and not the heart. They created their retreat to help leaders tap into their own source of courage and resilience, even – or especially – when they didn’t think they had any.

Darragh Power and Julietta Stotz have both had moments of realisation that their thoughts were just a movie projection. Along with Julia, they share some of those moments of serenity when – even in the darkest times – they realised that their experience wasn’t shaped by the world, but the reverse.

Key takeaways

• We often give power to the circumstances of our lives, when it fact it is us, and those around us, with the power.
• Ego is merely insecure thinking taken seriously.
• Insecure thinking is just thinking. And it can make us stupid.
