from People & Peloton Hosted by SD Worx
Spotting talent is one thing. Helping it grow, and keeping people engaged along the way, is where the real work begins. In this episode, Dorien Leyers brings together Ellen Claes, People Director at SD Worx, and Erwin Janssen, Team Director at Team SD Worx-Protime, for a conversation about talent development in both business and elite cycling. They discuss how to recognise potential early, how mentorship shapes progress, and why growth is rarely as straightforward as it looks from the outside. Using the journey of Julia Kopecký, a young prodigy of the team, this episode explores support, challenge, feedback and timing. Because talent needs more than opportunity.

In each episode, leaders from SD Worx and Team SD Worx-Protime explore a topic that shapes performance today, from teamwork and resilience to leadership, growth, wellbeing and culture. Expect practical ideas, honest reflections and stories from high-pressure environments where decisions matter, trust matters, and people make the difference. Because whether you lead a company or ride in a team, success rarely comes down to talent alone. It comes down to how you work together when it counts.
