The Paperjam Club brought together entrepreneurs, CEOs and senior executives alongside Henri Leconte for a session focusing on performance, resilience and the ability to bounce back. The former tennis champion shared the lessons he had learnt from a career at the very highest level – encompassing victories, pressure, setbacks and moments of self-doubt – and how these resonate in the day-to-day lives of decision-makers.

How can you continue to perform well when the pressure mounts? How can you turn a failure into a source of motivation? And how can you find the energy you need to get back on track after a setback? Drawing on his own journey and experiences, Henri Leconte has shared a personal account of the importance of mental strength, self-confidence and the ability to adapt.

From the tennis court to the business world, there are many parallels: knowing how to take risks, accepting defeat, learning from one’s mistakes, dealing with moments of doubt and pressing on despite uncertainty.

An inspiring event which also gave participants the opportunity to share their own experiences as leaders and entrepreneurs, before continuing the discussions during a networking session.

A big thank you to Henri Leconte for his enthusiasm and sincerity, and to all the participants for attending.
