Team: The Greatest Illusion in the Modern Workplace
Everyone talks about teams. We build them, shape them, measure them – and send them off to teambuilding retreats hoping that magic will somehow appear. But what if the very idea of “team” is often just an illusion – a comforting story we tell ourselves to feel more collaborative than we actually are?
In many organizations, we see groups that share a coffee machine but not a purpose. They cooperate in meetings but compete in practice. And while we speak passionately about “team spirit,” much of everyday life still revolves around individual survival, prestige, and position.
This talk tears away the illusion and asks: What is a team, really – and what does it take to make a group truly work together? Through sharp insights, humor, and painfully familiar examples, you’ll be challenged to rethink collaboration, accountability, and trust.
Are you ready to expose the illusion – and build teams that actually work?
Culture: Between Vision & Reality
Culture has become the prestige project of modern business. We describe it with big words, launch it with campaigns – and hope it will change everything. But culture isn’t a project. It’s the sum of what we actually do, say, and tolerate.
In many organizations, two cultures live side by side: the one written in the strategy document, and the one lived in everyday life. One inspires – the other decides.
This talk explores the gap between vision and reality, and why good intentions rarely create real change. Through humor, relatable examples, and an honest look at human behavior, you’ll gain insight into what truly builds – and breaks – culture at work.
Perhaps it’s only when we stop polishing the culture that we finally start building it.
Leadership: A Circus of Illusions
Has modern leadership become a circus performance – full of dazzling tricks, polished arenas, and the constant pressure to make everything look perfect?
In today’s workplace, many leaders are walking a tightrope between KPIs, change initiatives, and performance reviews – all while hoping no one notices that the safety net is missing. We applaud the jugglers who keep tasks in the air, the tamers who try to control culture, and the magicians who make problems disappear in PowerPoint.
But what happens when the applause fades?
In a world of constant change, we must dare to look behind the curtain – where genuine collaboration, trust, and openness replace rigid roles and unrealistic expectations.
This talk invites you to take off the clown mask, drop the act, and discover what authentic leadership is truly about.
