Inspiring speech & words of wisdom from the Revolution Hive Leadership Lessons show. Build power from the ground up!
Fossil fuel companies are lobbying government all the time to keep the power structures the way they are. But we urgently need to build counter power from the ground up. Otherwise, with increasing levels of mass migration & the urgent threat of climate change things will only get worse.

![Why Sensitive People Are Actually the Strongest (The Science)
When I was younger, I was always called sensitive. The kid who felt things too much. Who took things too personally. Who could walk into a room and know something was off between two people before either of them said a word. For a long time I treated that as a flaw to manage. Heres the reframe I want to make the case for today, and Ill bring the actual science: the sensitivity I spent years apologising for, is closer to a strength than a weakness, and I can show you why in the research, in evolution, and in how the best facilitators and leaders Ive watched actually operate.
