Puzl Soft Skills Academy | Vol. 3 - Leadership Without a Blueprint

Leadership rarely comes with an instruction manual. It means leading people through uncertainty, navigating change, building trust, and making decisions when there is no clearly defined path. Whether you’re scaling a startup, managing a project, or driving impact as an individual contributor, leadership is not defined by titles, it is about judgment, influence, empathy, and the ability to act when the way forward is not obvious. We are thrilled to feature our lovely member Assia Gekova - an international business executive, board member, and entrepreneur with extensive leadership experience across corporate and entrepreneurial environments. Throughout her career, Assia has built and led teams, developed new businesses, and entered new markets, working across complex international environments where commercial priorities, regulation, stakeholder interests, and change intersect. In her session, Leadership Without a Blueprint, she will explore a question that has followed her throughout her career: When there is no defined path, how do you know how to lead? Through personal stories from corporate leadership and entrepreneurship, Assia will share what she has learned about making judgment calls, creating direction, developing people, and adapting the way you lead when experience can guide you but cannot give you the answer. A personal perspective on leadership, complexity and courage, and on what it takes to lead when there is no obvious next move. All Puzl lovers, friends, and ecosystem builders are warmly welcome to join. See you there! ✨
