Speaking

A talk you still feel on Monday.

45 to 90 minutes on flow, energy and recovery. At the end there is one thing everyone in the room can do from tomorrow.

Topics

Six topics, one throughline.

All of them rest on my book Die Flow-Formel (2025). Each one works as a keynote, as a keynote with Q&A, or as a half-day session.

01

The flow formula

Four phases, one cycle. Why flow is no accident.

Opening
02

Getting ahead of the wave

Doing what matters first, not what shouts loudest.

Leadership
03

Control less, live more

Where self-optimization stops helping. I learned this the hard way.

Culture
04

The dark side of flow

Why nobody rides the wave forever.

HR
05

Focus

Attention is a muscle. Here is how you train it.

Knowledge work
06

Biohacking: six levers

Nutrition, movement, recovery, balance, focus, environment. What works, and what's just expensive.

Effect

What actually changes.

Leaders report being roughly five times more productive in flow, according to a survey by McKinsey. So the question isn't whether it pays off. It's how to make that state show up on purpose.

  • Everyone leaves with one thing they will do differently starting tomorrow. Written down, not just resolved.
  • The team has a shared language for burnout. That alone changes how meetings go.
  • Leaders know the three rules that apply to their own team on Monday morning.

If you want, we measure it: a short survey before the talk, the same one four weeks later. You get the results either way, including the uncomfortable ones.

Boundaries

What I don't do.

  • No selling products, neither from the stage nor afterwards.
  • No diagnoses, no promises of healing, no dietary dogma.
  • No talk meant to stand in for a culture instead of changing one.

If that's what you need, I'll say so on the call and point you to someone who fits better.

Process

Three steps. No more.

01

You reach out

I usually reply within two business days.

02

Intro call

30 minutes: who is in the room, and what should be different when they leave.

03

Stage

The talk itself, plus material for the weeks after.

Practical

The practical stuff.

Length45 to 90 minutes. Or a half-day session with hands-on work.
LanguagesEnglish and German.
FormatsKeynote, keynote with Q&A, or a half-day session. In person if you can, remote if you must.
TravelBased in Munich, 40 minutes from the airport. Anywhere in Europe without fuss. Farther out, let's talk.
FeeDepends on the format, the length and the travel. Schools, associations and nonprofits have their own rate. I'll give you the range on the first call, before you put work into it.

Flow appears exactly when thorough preparation meets the willingness to let go of the outcome completely, at the decisive moment.

From Die Flow-Formel, translated
“600 people in the room, and at ten at night thirty of them were still arguing about it at the bar.”
