Resilience Keynote

Growing Stronger Within Uncertain Times

A personal insight
into my career.

Battling a severe stutter, I couldn’t speak fluently until I reached the age of 22. Within this keynote, I share my journey through fear, providing scientific insights on resilience, and presenting practical strategies to navigate stress, change, and uncertainty.

I ask, will you merely survive in the face of challenge, bounce back, or rise stronger than ever?

All keynote fees (excluding travel expenses) are donated to Global Changemakers, supporting young people worldwide to develop the skills, resilience, and opportunities they need to create positive change in their communities. A minimum fee threshold does apply.

FAQ

Who are your interventions designed for?

My interventions are designed for individuals and teams who have a genuine commitment to creating transformational change. What I look for is ‘grit’ and a ‘willingness’ to engage fully - everything else, we will work on together.

What outcomes can participants expect?

Participants can expect nothing less than a profound mindset shift - leading to greater resilience, stronger collaboration, more authentic communication, enhanced self-leadership, and the adaptability needed to thrive in change.

How do you measure the effectiveness?

Effectiveness is measured together with my external partners through AI-driven assessments that provide deep, data-backed insights. These tools not only create a ‘wow’ moment for participants but also give tangible evidence of growth and impact.

What is the typical participant capacity for each intervention?

I typically work with groups of 8 to 16 participants to ensure depth and impact. For medium sized and larger strategic projects, I collaborate with my team at Custom Programs, University of St. Gallen, to scale and tailor the intervention to your needs.

Can you take into account our leadership principles and values?

Absolutely. Your leadership principles and values can be fully embedded into the intervention. If desired, we can also use AI-driven assessments to measure how strongly these values are currently lived within your organization.

What role does technology play in your programs?

The heart of any intervention is human — transformational change happens person-to-person. Technology, including AI-driven tools, is used to assess, analyze data, and provide optional AI coaching, supporting participants and enhancing the overall impact of the program.
