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.
VENUE: Zoom

Participation is FREE. The meeting will be of interest to IT marketers.
Key Topics
  • Discipline and resilience: from training grounds to tech teams
    How the habits built through sports — consistency, pushing through setbacks, staying focused under fatigue — translate into the daily discipline required to lead IT teams and drive long-term transformation projects.
  • Winning and losing: decision-making under pressure
    Sports teach you to make fast decisions with incomplete information and to recover quickly from mistakes. We'll discuss how this mindset helps CIOs handle high-stakes moments — outages, security incidents, budget calls — with a clear head.
  • Team spirit: building trust on and off the field
    Great teams, whether in sports or in IT, are built on trust, communication, and shared goals. We'll explore how lessons from teammates and coaches shape the way CIOs build, motivate, and lead their own tech organizations.
