The Psychology of Leadership
In an era of relentless market shifts, rising complexity, and AI-driven transformation, today’s leaders must master not just strategy, but self-awareness. In this compelling keynote, Sebastien Page draws from his experience as Chief Investment Officer at T. Rowe Price—and from the research behind his new book—to explore the inner game of leadership. Rather than offering generic advice, Sebastien blends behavioral science with lived executive insight to uncover why even the most capable leaders resist change and what it really takes to adapt, inspire, and grow. With a focus on action over theory, he challenges notions about decision-making, authenticity, and influence.
