Lessons in Leadership from Kylo Ren
About

Leadership is a journey of evolution, self-awareness, and sometimes… a little destruction before transformation. Kylo Ren’s story isn’t just one of galactic conflict—it’s a masterclass in leadership lessons, both good and bad. From struggling with identity and power to ultimately finding purpose, his arc reflects the challenges many leaders face in defining who they are and how they lead.

In this talk, we’ll explore how leaders evolve in their relationship to power, transitioning from mico management leadership to intent based leadership. We’ll discuss the importance of leading by action over words, how authenticity builds stronger teams, and why showing vulnerability normalizes conversations about mental health in high-pressure environments.

Attendees will gain practical insights into self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and leadership transformation, using Kylo’s journey as a metaphor for the real challenges CISOs and security leaders face today. The best leaders aren’t afraid to change, and the strongest teams are built on trust, not fear.

Join us for a unique, engaging session that blends pop culture, leadership strategy, and real-world lessons to help you become a more authentic and effective leader—without needing a redemption arc.
