At TEDxBeverlyGrove
Ryan Garney will share “Mental Bulkheads: Why the Olympic Survived and the Titanic Didn’t—and What That Teaches Us About Leading Through Crisis.” When pressure hits all at once, most leaders get flooded. Bulkheads are how you stay operational: contain the breach, protect the mission, and make decisions that don’t spread panic through the whole ship. You’ll leave with a crisis playbook built for real life, not hero stories.
