What does it really take to build a high-performing team when pressure rises and the plan changes mid-race?  In this episode of People & Peloton, host Dorien Leyers talks to Ellen Claes, People Director at SD Worx, and Danny Stam, Sports Director at Team SD Worx-Protime. 

Together, they explore what strong teams need to perform in uncertain circumstances: clear roles, trust, ownership and the ability to adapt fast.  

Starting from a decisive Milan-San Remo moment with Lorena Wiebes and Lotte Kopecky, this episode looks at how teams respond when timing is tight and the stakes are high. From the peloton to the workplace, the same question returns: how do you stay aligned when everything starts moving at once?

People & Peloton

What can business learn from the peloton, and what can elite sport learn from the workplace?  In People & Peloton, we bring those two worlds together.

Hosted by Dorien Leyers, this SD Worx podcast pairs conversations from the boardroom with insights from the road. 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.
