Leadership doesn't only happen in meetings and boardrooms — it's often shaped in unexpected places, including on the field, the court, or the track. That's exactly what we want to explore in our next open talk.

On August 17, we invite you to a new conversation: "What Sports Have Taught Me as an IT Leader."

Let's talk about it: How has sport shaped your approach to leadership, risk, and teamwork? What habits from athletic life do you bring into managing IT teams and driving digital transformation? And how can these lessons help build stronger, more resilient tech leaders?

Join the conversation, share your own story, and exchange experiences with peers from different countries who, like you, know that leadership is built both in the office — and beyond it.

👉 Join us on August 17 and discover how sport can make you a stronger IT leader.

Key Topics
  • Discipline, resilience, and IT leadership
    How sports habits — consistency, resilience, and focus under pressure — help IT leaders guide teams and deliver long-term transformation.
  • Winning and losing: decision-making under pressure
    Sports develop quick thinking and the ability to bounce back from mistakes. We'll discuss how these skills help CIOs navigate critical decisions and high-pressure situations with confidence.
  • Team spirit: building trust on and off the field
    Great teams are built on trust, communication, and shared goals. We'll explore how lessons from sports help CIOs build, motivate, and lead successful IT teams.
