    Leadership on the Rocks with Bethany Rees: How to Lead When You’re Under Pressure
    Jul 31 2025

    What if your leadership struggles weren’t a sign of failure—but a sign you’re missing a survival strategy?

    Key Topics Covered:

    • The real-life experiences that shaped Bethany’s mission and message

    • Her practical framework for leading through instability

    • What she means by “Leadership on the Rocks” (and why the metaphor matters)
