What does it take to become a great leader?
Not a title. Not fame.
But something deeper — forged in silence, struggle, and sacrifice.
"Built on the Field: How Sports Shape Great Leaders" is a keynote experience featuring Shaahid Zumri — one of Sri Lanka’s most admired young rugby players and a rising national icon.
Through the lens of sport, Shaahid will take you on a powerful journey of leadership, humility, discipline, and resilience — built not in boardrooms, but on muddy fields, in locker rooms, and through moments of quiet strength.
This isn't just a talk. It's a story about the X Factor — that unspoken quality that separates talent from true leadership.
