What if high performance is not something to acquire, but something to awaken?
At ATD25, one of the world's largest gatherings of talent professionals, Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa challenged the conventional wisdom on how high performance is cultivated in individuals and organizations. In a thought-provoking keynote, The Inner Game of Breakthrough Performance, he invited leaders to shift their focus from fixing to inspiring, from learning new skills to activating hidden capacities already harbored within.
Drawing upon his research at Columbia Business School and his work at the Mentora Institute, Dr. Wadhwa introduced a practical and deeply human-centered framework for inner mastery. His insights—also featured in his acclaimed Harvard Business Review article, “Leading in the Flow of Work”—offered a radical yet science-backed pathway to sustained excellence, rooted in presence, purpose, and personal transformation.
