LEAD PULSE SUMMIT: Leadership | Empowerment | Action | Development
Axis, Przy Rondzie 4, Kraków, PLLEAD PULSE SUMMIT
Leadership | Empowerment | Action | Development
Powered by ABBIn today’s high-pressure environment, leadership often comes with the burden of constant availability, resilience, and perfection. But what if true leadership begins when we let go of these expectations?
The LEAD Pulse Summit is not just another conference. It’s an immersive, human-centered gathering for leaders who seek authenticity, balance, and meaningful growth - both professionally and personally.This space is for you if:
• You feel the boundaries between work and life are fading, and burnout is a real concern.
• You seek development that nurtures you as a person, not just as a manager.
• You value open, honest conversations about what truly matters.The event is specifically aimed at middle and senior level leaders —individuals seeking to enhance their competencies in the field of modern leadership.
We will explore leadership through a new lens - focusing on emotions, challenges, and personal journeys. This is a safe space to share, reflect, and recharge.
Agenda Highlights:
1. Lightning Speeches – Fresh perspectives from inspiring voicesPrzemysław Zakrzewski | ABB: Why We’re Always Late
We promise this session will actually start on time — but you’ll learn why most things don’t.
Because every plan eventually falls to Earth, we’ll take a fun look at the invisible forces that pull our deadlines off course — and how to defy them (just a little).Ewelina Wachulec | Dell: Fast‑forward, then pause: mastery in the age of AI
In a world where AI accelerates everything, speed has become the new normal. Yet true mastery requires a different pace and is achieved through reflection, intuition, and deliberate practice. Let's explore how leaders can reclaim the value of critical thinking, foster the culture of depth and expertise, and design thoughtful growth paths enabling a state of flow.Małgorzata Rycak | Hitachi Energy: Impossible Is Possible. The Power of Determination
