Speaker Tom Sietas

Tom Sietas is a multiple world champion in apnoea diving, a sport in which the aim is to relax to the maximum and remain calm even under pressure, using as little oxygen as possible.

In his impulse lectures, you will accompany him on an adventure journey and experience first-hand how he was able to overcome his own limits time and again and what insights he was able to gain in the key moments of his career. In a short practical exercise, you will then even experience for yourself how you can effectively deal with pressure situations in order to achieve peak performance and remain healthy and motivated in the long term.

Tom Sietas’ lecture topics:

Under pressure – How to perform at your best in stressful situations.
Long breath – How to stay healthy and motivated in stressful times
Limitless – How to keep redefining the limits of your performance
Staying the course – How to achieve any goal by building willpower

Fast-moving markets and restructuring measures inevitably lead to stressful rush hours in every company.

Born and bred in Iceland, Johannesson began studying naval architecture in Helsingør at the age of 21. “It was a late calling,” he explained. “I had a big interest in working in fishing vessel designs before moving to Denmark to study. I chose to specialise in naval architecture in order to be able to do this an
