“Transformation is currently the loudest buzzword in the economy and corporate landscape. But actually, such transformation and further development don't suit us humans at all. For many millions of years, we have been faced with a permanent inner conflict: change vs stagnation/security.

One part of us wants to move forward, discover new things, be pioneers. The other part strives for security, tranquillity and relaxation. Everyone feels and knows both, but tends towards one of the two groups. For the big transformations, however, everyone has to pitch in - each according to their strengths and potential. But do we actually know them well enough? And what abilities and skills will be needed in the future?

Based on key topics in personal development, the audience will learn how they can shape their personal transformation, why individual solutions are important and which skills will be in demand in the future.”
