What enables people to find true fulfillment in what they do? How can you take ownership of your own growth, whether in sport, work or everyday life? In his lecture, Stefan Wessels takes his audience on a journey of personal development, leadership and intrinsic motivation. He openly and honestly shares his experiences in elite sports and reflects critically on his own career: could he have achieved even more? What was the key to his successes, and what could he have done differently?
Stefan is not a conventional speaker with a success story full of highlights. He is also willing to discuss his doubts and challenges, making his message relatable and powerful. Rather than relying on theory, he draws on his practical experience as both an elite athlete and a manager. This enables him to bridge the gap between elite sports and the business world, and between sports psychology and personal growth.
