Book Jack Plooij as a speaker
Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes of Formula 1 and inside the private world of team hospitality?
I am happy to take you there. As a Formula 1 expert, dentist, and sought-after speaker, I have spent more than fifteen years at the heart of international Formula 1. With my feet on the pit lane asphalt and direct access to teams, drivers, and decision makers, I share insights and stories you will not hear anywhere else.
Over the years, I have written four books and experienced countless unique moments, from the tension in the paddock to the emotion of a world championship, including that memorable interview with Max Verstappen right after his first title.
In my talks and appearances, I translate that world of top level sport, teamwork, and performing under extreme pressure into lessons for business. With energy, humor, and sharp observations, I show what it takes to win as a team and keep raising the bar as an organization.
Topics
#1 you won't make it alone
Using striking situations from Formula 1 teams, I show you why one team wins and another loses. You get surprising real-world examples of how crucial it is that everyone is aligned and moving in the same direction. In my view, that is the only way to reach the absolute top and truly win.
Achieving a Winner’s Mentality
In Formula 1, the best drivers in the world compete, and I have seen up close what drives them. Sometimes you have to be an asshole to keep winning. I show you which drivers have that edge and who ultimately get exposed. I share my view on what it really takes to become a winner.
The Secrets Behind Success
Several Formula 1 drivers have grown into legends, and I now see the new generation doing the same. I explain how the secrets behind their success are actually easy to uncover. In doing so, I look at what makes figures like Michael Schumacher and Max Verstappen so unbeatable.
Leadership
As team principal of a major Formula 1 team, you lead up to 1,500 people with a single goal: the world championship. I show that you cannot do this alone and that sometimes anything goes. Think manipulation, dirty tricks, or pure alpha behavior. I analyze which approach is most effective in ultimately securing the constructors’ title.
Motivation and Perseverance
Every driver and every team wants to win. But what do you do when things go against you? Do you give up, or do you make the tough calls, even changing key people if needed? It is about pushing on, keeping each other motivated, accepting setbacks, fixing what is broken, and moving forward again.
The similarities between racing driver and entrepreneur
Winning. That is what Formula 1 is all about. At any cost. The parallels with business are many. Controlling processes means collecting data, entering it, analyzing it, and improving it. Strong leadership and strong team commitment matter. The best become world champions.
Every session can be tailored to your industry, audience, and desired tone.
