Keynote speeches

Teamwork | communication | Empowerment

Flying is all about teamwork. What is the secret of successful teams? What makes teams fail? This award-winning keynote speech transfers the ‘Crew Ressource Management’ of aviation into the business world.

Courage to make ‘survivable’ mistakes:
Be self-confident and take action
How to strengthen responsibility:
Clear roles instead of steep hierarchies
The crew makes the difference:
Reaching goals means reaching people

LEADERSHIP | ERROR CULTURE | CONFIDENCE

A wrong decision is better than no decision – in the ‘company cockpit’, too. As a leader above the clouds, Philip Keil speaks authentically about positive error culture and what makes a good decision.

You can’t pull off the road:
Good decisions require a clear focus
Confidence is the fuel for success:
Growth outside the comfort zone
Positive Error Culture:
Don’t ask WHO, understand the WHY

MOTIVATION | CHANGE-MANAGEMENT | RESILIENCE

What role does the ‘inner compass’ play in our thinking and our actions? And what keeps us from following it? A thrilling motivational speech about comfort zones, hard landings and the courage to change perspective.

Pilot or passenger?
Accept challenges and grow with them
The ‘inner compass’:
Directory in times of change
“We always did it like that”:
When routines become chock blocks
