Philip Keil opens the cockpit door and allows extraordinary insights in a team culture of trust and own initiative. This multiple awarded keynote speech rethinks leadership – exciting and including concrete practical tools.
Topics: teamwork, leadership, confidence.
Neither in the cockpit nor in life everything runs according to our plans. No matter how good the plan is. What a makes a leader on the ground and up in the air, is their handling of sudden changes. A crisis sharpens our view of what leadership essentially is: making courageous decisions, straight-forward crisis communication and target-related error culture. Philip Keil speaks about the “decision point” of his life and transfers strategies of professional pilots on change processes in the economy and in our society. His credo: A crisis shows us our weaknesses, but it reminds us on our strengths, as well. Both aspects arise valuable chances.
Topics: error culture, crisis management, change.
Every change in life begins with a single picture in our mind. A vision. What meaning has our “inner compass” and what keeps us often at times from following it? Get excited about a motivational keynote in the area of conflict of ratio and intuition, control and confidence, routines and change.
