Lecture topics by Anja Förster:

• Encouraging people to think differently

The future belongs to the shapers – the people who courageously drive change and want to make a difference in their environment, in their company or with their customers. This keynote speech is a call to rethink, a manifesto against stagnation and encrusted structures.

• Futureskills – superpowers for a world in radical change

Futureskills means accepting that things will turn out differently than planned and still dealing with them successfully. This keynote speech is a disturbance for all

• Leadership in the digital age

The most important virtue of a sustainable organization is to encourage its own people to be more independent and to create the framework for this attitude to flourish. After all, those who sow the seeds of independence will reap the harvest of those who shirk responsibility.

• Change needs constructive rebelliousness

We need courageous dissenters who are committed to ideas that contradict the “usual” old routines. Change agents who convince others of their ideas and contribute to changing societies, organizations and teams from the inside out.

More focus, less stress: why the present moment is your greatest success factor.
