Leadership Performance

Matteo Cassese Stage Infoshare Gdansk 2025

The world’s most successful leaders have a secret: they learned to love pain.

They invite discomfort into their lives and companies. They actively ask the painful questions. This willingness to stay in discomfort is what separates legendary CEOs like Jensen Huang from copycat opportunists whose names nobody remembers.

Executive coach Matteo Cassese reveals how pain becomes your teacher, your strategist, and your competitive advantage.

Who needs leaders everyone pretends to respect but nobody trust?

Most organizations can’t tell the difference between vulnerable, confident, and overconfident leaders. They end up promoting the wrong ones and creating a toxic culture.

We Are The Stories We Tell Ourselves

Personal Growth Resilience Leadership

What if you could rewrite your life story with today’s wisdom? What if you refused to accept the narratives handed to you and instead authored your own meaning?

We can’t change the events that shaped us. But we can change the story we tell ourselves about them.

What if the way you’re telling your life story is the very thing holding you back? What if your biggest breakthrough requires no new achievement – just reinterpreting what already happened?

The most powerful leaders discovered that changing what events mean to you changes everything about where you can go. The power of radical reinterpretation.

Executive coach Matteo Cassese shows how to audit the stories running your life and rewrite the ones that limit you.

Storytelling means becoming impossible to ignore. With the right storytelling you can win attention in any room, make ideas stick long after the meeting ends, and move people to action without forcing them.

What most CEOs forget is that a story is only as good as its villain. If you avoid villains because you fear negativity, chaos, or conflict, your story is forgettable.

Matteo Cassese has studied storytelling for two decades, worked as a story analyst for Warner Bros., launched Netflix in Italy, and taught thousands of professionals in seminars, workshops, and masterclasses. He shows teams how to use storytelling as a strategic tool for persuasion, influence, and connection.
