Busy is not the same as effective.

It can feel productive to move fast, answer everything, attend every meeting and keep the machine running.

But a full calendar doesn’t always mean real progress.

In this free webinar, New York Times bestselling author Diana Kander will show why high-performing people fall into the “busy trap” and how to get out of it.

Expect practical ideas, sharp questions and tools you can use right away.

📅 Tuesday, May 26th
⏰ 19:00 – 20:00 CET
💻 Online
✅ Recording included

Three speakers. Three perspectives. One clear message:

𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲-𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀.

On September 18, Steven Bartlett, Jacinda Ardern and Seth Godin take the stage at Amsterdam Business Forum 2026.

We pulled 3 key insights from their thinking:
👉 Seth Godin — “Don’t compete with AI on speed. Win on depth.”
👉 Jacinda Ardern — “Empathy isn’t weakness. It’s a deliberate choice.”
👉 Steven Bartlett — “Build the culture first. Results will follow.”

Different perspectives.
�Same foundation: organizations are built by people.

We revisited Jacinda Ardern’s leadership lessons.

She led through crisis with 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆 and courage. No aggression. No performance. Just leadership that put people first.

5 lessons from her leadership:

✨ Empathy takes guts
✨ Action matters
✨ Quiet leaders are powerful
✨ Good humans lead well
✨ Ask the human question

We went digging in Seth Godin’s archive.

Seth has written 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀. One every day, for 25+ years. Short. Punchy. Always worth it.

So when we wanted sharp thinking on 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, we knew exactly where to look. We selected 𝟵 𝗴𝗲𝗺𝘀 from his archive and grouped them around the three ABF 2026 themes:

• The Human Role in Digital Organizations
• Human Leadership: Empathy over Dominance
• Building Human Centered Organizations

Bon bini, Aruba Tourism!
We're thrilled to welcome back Aruba Tourism Authority as an official partner of Amsterdam Business Forum 2026.

After a successful collaboration in 2025, this decision made itself: Aruba returns to ABF Because the best partnerships only get better over time.

At Amsterdam Business Forum, attendees can experience 'a touch of Aruba' during the breaks. A moment of warmth and wonder tucked into a day of big ideas. What exactly? That will remain a secret until September 18th (keep an eye out for the Aruba Ariba 🍹😉).

One thing is certain: it'll be even better than last year.
