EP02 | Resilience & Change

EP06 | Culture, Purpose & Legacy

Results may be visible. Culture is what people feel. In this episode, Dorien Leyers talks to Bruce Fecheyr-Lippens, Chief People Officer at SD Worx, and Erwin Janssen, Team Director at Team SD Worx-Protime, about what it takes to build a culture that lasts. They explore how values become visible in everyday behaviour, how purpose stays real under pressure, and what leaders do to protect culture when performance demands are high. Moving between business and cycling, this conversation looks at rituals, leadership behaviour, trust, honest feedback and the kind of team DNA people want to belong to. Because legacy is not built through one big statement. It is built day by day, in the choices people make when it matters most.

Together, they explore how energy, focus and wellbeing can be protected in demanding environments without losing sight of results.   Starting from Mischa Bredewold’s exceptionally long and intense season, the conversation looks at recovery, warning signs, boundaries and the habits that help people stay strong over time.

EP04 | Talent Development & Growth

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. It needs the right environment to turn potential into performance.

EP03 | Leadership & Motivation

Leadership sounds good on paper. It gets a lot more real when decisions need to be made under pressure.   In this episode of People & Peloton, Dorien Leyers speaks with Danny Stam, Team Director at Team SD Worx-Protime, and Gille Sebrechts, Chief Digital Officer and Executive Vice President at SD Worx, about what leadership looks like when there is no time to overthink and people are looking to you for direction.   With Lotte Kopecky’s 2025 season as the starting point, this conversation dives into responsibility, motivation, team mentality and the difference between having authority and earning trust. From sport to business, one thing becomes clear: leadership is not about status. It is about behaviour, judgement and knowing when to put the team first.

EP02 | Resilience & Change

Setbacks rarely arrive at a convenient time. So what do strong teams do when plan A disappears?   In this episode, Dorien Leyers is joined by Erwin Janssen, Team Director at Team SD Worx-Protime, and Gille Sebrechts, Chief Digital Officer and Executive Vice President at SD Worx. Together, they unpack what resilience and change really look like in practice, not just as a mindset, but as a way of leading through uncertainty.   Using Julia Kopecký’s injury setback and return to racing as a starting point, the conversation explores recovery, mental strength, reorganisation and the importance of calm when momentum drops. This is an episode about protecting focus, staying grounded and helping people move forward when the road ahead is anything but clear.
