Dear WJ UAE Members,
What does it take to perform at your best - personally, as a leader, and as a business - not just once, but consistently over decades?
Our guest Cyril Cisinski brings a perspective shaped by two worlds:
international business leadership and competitive sports.
As President of WACKER Middle East, he is responsible for the company’s business across the Middle East and Africa, leading a triple-digit-million business and hundreds of people across cultures, markets, and nationalities. Over the past two decades, he has been part of a journey that has seen the regional business grow substantially while building the teams, structures, and culture required to sustain that performance.
But his understanding of performance goes far beyond the boardroom:
As a lifelong athlete, rugby player, and former marathon runner, he has spent years exploring what business leaders can learn from sport: preparation, resilience, teamwork, dealing with pressure - and being ready when the moment to perform arrives.
In this exclusive three-hour workshop, Leadership & Performance: How to be ready to succeed, he will bring these two worlds together.
Drawing on more than 20 years of leadership experience, he will share practical insights into building high-performance teams, leading across cultures, creating accountability, navigating setbacks, sustaining motivation, and developing the mindset required to perform when it matters most.
This is his signature workshop exclusively done for Young Leaders UAE:
How do you build an organization that is ready to succeed? How do you prepare yourself as a leader? And what can the world of high performance in sport teach us about both?
Date: Thursday, October 29
Time: 9 AM - 12 PM
Location: Business Bay, Dubai
To enable an open, personal, and highly interactive exchange, this workshop is intentionally limited to a small circle of selected participants. Participation is therefore application-based, with selection focused on leadership experience, leadership potential, and personal motivation.
- Leadership Responsibility
What leadership responsibility do you currently hold or what leadership responsibility are you preparing to take on in the future?
- Personal Motivation
Why would you like to participate in this workshop, and what do you personally hope to take away from the experience?
A limited number of participants will be selected based on their applications, creating a group in which experiences can be shared openly, questions can go deeper, and everyone can actively contribute to the three-hour session.
