THE BOOK
Into the Fog: Leadership Stories from the Edge of Uncertainty by Pete Behrens
Leadership doesn't live in the highlight reel. It lives in the moments most leaders would rather forget — the hard conversations, the bad calls, the times they stepped back when they should have stepped forward. Into the Fog is a book built from those moments.
It isn't a playbook. It's an honest look at what leadership feels like from the inside — where clarity is scarce, tension is real, and the most important choices rarely come with obvious answers.
"Leadership is not clean.
It's not clear.
And if you're doing it right,
it's not comfortable."
— Pete Behrens
Who It's Written For
Anyone navigating the gap between the leader they want to be and the complexity they're actually facing. Particularly resonant for executives and managers in transition, and widely used as a shared reading experience for leadership teams who want a more honest conversation about what they're navigating together.

THE Podcast
Relearning Leadership: A Leadership Podcast Hosted by Pete Behrens
Each episode of Relearning Leadership is Pete making time to go deeper — on a story, an idea, or a question that keeps coming up in his work with leaders. Sometimes that means a conversation with an executive, a founder, or a fellow coach. Sometimes it's Pete working through something on his own. The throughline is always the same: what does leadership actually require, and what gets in the way?
"The world is more global, more volatile, more fractured than the playbooks we inherited were built for. This podcast exists to get into the real questions: How do you lead change from the middle? How do you build trust across remote, global teams? How do you stay grounded when everything around you is in motion? Those aren't just executive questions. They're everyone's questions."
— Pete Behrens
Who It's For
Relearning Leadership is for anyone trying to lead better in a world that keeps changing the rules. Not just CEOs and directors — but managers, team leads, and emerging leaders navigating real complexity without a playbook that fits. If you've ever felt like the leadership thinking you inherited wasn't quite built for the moment you're in, this podcast was made for you.
