4× DFB Referee of the Year

Deniz Aytekin giving the keynote “Decisions under pressure”

Decisions under pressure

Strategies of seeing, perceiving and deciding.

Keynote 01

Decision strategies for everyday use

“The sum of our good decisions shapes our lives, our companies and our country.”

Just like a manager or decision-maker, the former referee works under enormous pressure and has to make fast decisions with serious consequences. The same principle applies to successful action in every area of life: decisions are indispensable. Yet many people hesitate, postpone decisions or make them defensively.

On the pitch, in the office or in everyday life: clear facts or all the necessary information are not always available. The human eye and our brain have their limits; sometimes the exact sequence of events remains invisible, or information cannot be processed correctly. How can you make the right decisions despite such limitations?

In the keynote “Decisions under pressure”, former referee and entrepreneur Deniz Aytekin sheds light on the parallels between different decision-making situations as well as effective, proven and scientifically supported techniques and strategies for keeping the overview in stressful circumstances – illustrated with exclusive video material from professional football.

Dive into the fast and loud world of professional football and discover striking parallels for the everyday decision-making process in your company.
