Michał Kanarkiewicz pokazuje, że 64 pola mogą kryć znacznie więcej niż tylko rozrywkę umysłową. To metafora podejmowania decyzji, radzenia sobie z porażką, planowania i... odwagi do działania. W swoim inspirującym wystąpieniu Michał opowiada, jak szachy zmieniają ludzi – nie tylko tych, którzy grają zawodowo, ale też liderów, dzieci, przedsiębiorców. Dlaczego warto przegrać, by wygrać? Co łączy króla na planszy i Ciebie w życiu? I czy możemy przewidywać przyszłość – ruch po ruchu? Zobacz, jak strategiczne myślenie przenosi się z szachownicy do codzienności i dowiedz się, dlaczego szachy to coś znacznie więcej niż gra. Wydarzenie organizowane w Podkarpackim Centrum Innowacji w Rzeszowie. Uczy tajników strategii i gry w szachy. Przedsiębiorca, konsultant biznesowy, szachista i autor 7 książek.
