Thank you so much for taking an interest in me and what I do. You’ve probably already heard of my books, read some of my blogs or even watched some of my videos. So you know exactly what I do and how I do it.
That makes me happy! And yes, I am also open to giving a lecture, running a workshop or working on a project. Here is some information on how we can move forward.
Talks & Keynotes
As you can see from videos of my past talks, they are everything, but they are neither dry nor boring. My lectures inform in an entertaining way, they provoke and shake things up, and bring fact-based, alternative scenarios to those that are common in Europe. And that’s a good thing – after all, I bring the Silicon Valley perspective to the table. For me, a keynote is also always a good show for the audience.
You have to pay for my talks and keynotes. I don’t make any exceptions. I am self-employed and therefore do not have a regular salary that is paid into my account every few weeks. Talks and keynotes are an important part of my income.
In case the question arises: No, I don’t give the presentations to do ‘advertising for me‘ and ‘making people aware of my brand‘. I am past this phase. I also don’t accept the argument that I can appear in front of many decision-makers from important industries at this event, which could lead to new opportunities for me. I don’t like being told how to do my business here. The caterer or the room rental company won’t give you the food or the room for free because it gives them ‘exposure‘ to these people.
The caterer or the room rental company won’t give you the food or the room for free because it gives them ‘exposure’ to these people. And honestly: why do visitors primarily come to your event? The great location? Or because of the speakers and their presentations? Exactly! Why exactly should no budget have been planned for the latter?
And why are you organizing such an event? Because you are inviting customers – perhaps even free of charge for them – and hoping for more business. I help you to ensure that your customers experience an interesting event with a presentation that entertains and inspires them and therefore turn to you with new or repeated business. [ I charge for such events without exception at a price that reflects the value.
Workshops
My workshops are methodical and include many exercises. The price is determined according to the scope, number of people, duration and other factors. Once again, the workshops are certainly anything but boring.
I have held several hundred workshops on various topics in recent years.
Books
For both talks and workshops, we can talk about books for the participants. I have written several books and the publishing price is usually 40 percent below the retail price.
Projects
I also enjoy working on long-term projects, such as trend scouting, concrete elaboration of a topic and the like.
Interested?
If all this has met with your approval, then let’s talk about it in concrete terms. Just send me an e-mail.
