Being a leader today means not only managing tasks, projects, and change, but also operating under constant pressure, uncertainty, and overload. It also means dealing with your own emotions and those of others.
During the session, we’ll explore how to use emotions as an important source of information, regulate them effectively, and at the same time protect our own resources from chronic stress, overstimulation, and burnout.
After the session, participants will know:
Prelegent

Sylwia is a psychologist by education. She graduated from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, specializing in business psychology and change management, and is currently working on a PhD focused on charisma. For over 20 years, she has specialized in delivering training and has so far trained tens of thousands of leaders around the world. She works primarily with corporations, and her clients include Amazon, Facebook, Google, Shell, Unilever, and many others. She is particularly passionate about helping leaders develop empathetic leadership skills, build authority based on consistency and authenticity, and conduct so-called “difficult” conversations. She is the author of four books, an expert for Radio ZET and TVN24, and, according to Forbes, one of the most influential women on Polish LinkedIn.
Uncertainty has become a constant part of a leader’s work – priorities, technologies, customer expectations, and business conditions are changing, often faster than we are able to anticipate.
During the session, we’ll explore how to maintain a sense of agency in a changing reality, make good decisions despite incomplete information, and help others navigate change without promising them certainty that we ourselves do not have.

We’re meeting in our j-labs meetup space in Zabłocie, Cracow. Don’t let that fool you - it’s not a house-party vibe. We’ve created a modern space designed for comfortable networking and knowledge sharing. There will also be a buffet, hot drinks, and cold ones - straight from the tap!
You’ll find our office address below, and before the event you’ll receive an email with detailed instructions on how to get to the meetup space.
