Winning Wednesday Workshop: Brian Wood of Spearpoint Stratagem GroupPlease plan to join us on Wednesday, October 8th at 12pm-1pm for an engaging Winning Wednesday Workshop led by Brian Wood of Spearpoint Stratagem Group. This Part II session will highlight new material and serve as a continuum from his previous Spring workshop. The in-person session takes place in Workroom 107 off of the Main Lobby.
Winning Wednesday Workshop's brief sessions are designed to work with your lunch break. Feel free to bring a meal with or purchase one from Chef Jeremy Washum's 'Reservations' residency at Cafe Distilled in the Main Lobby. It's the perfect time to learn something interesting, network, and catch a quick bite to eat supporting a local small business. What a treat, all under one roof!
Explore the power of decisive action in the face of extreme adversity, as revealed through a story of survival in Afghanistan. Beyond the battlefield, understand how bravery is a choice, not a trait, and how to harness it for entrepreneurial success, personal growth, and navigating uncertainty.

Bravery is Action in Spite of Fear
Fear is universal—fear of failure, fear of judgment, fear of embarrassment. But bravery isn’t the absence of fear; it’s action in spite of it.
In this session, Brian will share a deeply personal story—leading a 10-man infantry squad in Afghanistan, cut off, outnumbered, and overwhelmed, with no reinforcements.
This isn’t just about combat. Fear shows up in business and leadership every day.
Fear of taking the leap to start your own business.
Fear of making the wrong decision when everything is on the line.
Fear of public failure when you put yourself out there.
Entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals face high-stakes moments all the time. Brian will break down how to recognize fear, reframe it, and push through it so you can make bold decisions, lead with confidence, and stop hesitation from holding you back.
Expect real strategies, an honest conversation, and a new perspective on fear as fuel rather than a roadblock.
