Keynote · talk · stage · Nuremberg
Talks on performance, health and change from someone who knows both: competition on stage and responsibility in a business.
Almost 100 events hosted, a career as a professional athlete and daily work with people and teams produce a talk that holds rather than merely motivates.
Tools from the talk
A talk works when something of it survives to the next working day. So every audience gets tools they can remember without notes. Two of them are a fixed part of almost every keynote.
Staying on course when turning off sounds perfectly reasonable.
On the way to any goal everyone gets tested: do I really want to stay on this road, or shall I turn off just this once? The image shows where the junctions are, why they look so tempting in the moment, and how to find your way back after a detour.
Balance is not a mood, it is a decision.
We all need balance to feel well, and yet we tend to neglect things until they catch up with us. The Four Pots rule starts exactly there: in seconds it shows which pot is running dry, and helps you make the next decision accordingly.

Topics
The themes can be booked individually or combined. What matters is what your audience should do differently afterwards.
How competitive sport handles load, setbacks and expectation, and what of that transfers to leadership, projects and working life.
In competition it is rarely the best day that decides things, but how you handle the bad one. Using real situations from race preparation and racing, the talk shows how load can be planned, why setbacks belong in the plan, and how to tell whether a structure holds or merely looks good. All of it is carried across to what your audience knows: projects against deadlines, leading through unsettled phases, decisions made on incomplete information.
What your audience takes away
Why physical capability is not a private side issue, but directly affects concentration, absence and how much a team can carry.
Companies like to treat health as a private matter, and it still turns up in every figure: in days lost, in concentration after lunch, in who can still carry a demanding phase. The talk makes that connection visible without wagging a finger, and without pretending a talk replaces a programme. It creates the willingness that a health day or a corporate fitness offer needs in order to land at all.
What your audience takes away
What motivation actually delivers, where it reliably fails, and which structures carry change over months rather than a fortnight.
Motivation is a good starter and a poor engine. Rely on it and you stop again in February. The talk separates the two cleanly: what motivation can do, where it predictably collapses, and which structures make the difference once the first enthusiasm is gone. This is where the two tools interlock, the Middle Road for the course and the Four Pots rule for the balance.

Formats
Depending on the occasion, a short input talk may be enough, or you need the keynote as the substantive high point of the event. Both are possible, including alongside hosting.
A shorter format for health days, team events or leadership groups, when the aim is one clear prompt to think.
The classic talk as the substantive high point of a conference, client event or internal meeting.
Talk and hosting from one person: a substantive opening, then guiding the audience through the day's programme.
Occasions
People rarely look for a keynote by topic, but for a specific date. These five occasions come up most often, and each one is tailored quite differently.
The high point that ties together a day of figures and presentations and gives the programme a common thread.
For smaller groups dealing with workload, setting an example and their own stance, with room for discussion rather than just a talk.
The morning input that frames the day and explains why what follows makes any difference at all.
A talk tied to the occasion that suits a formal setting and still leaves something solid behind.
For teams in the middle of change: an outside view that says what everyone inside can feel, and points a way forward.
How it runs
From the first enquiry to the follow-on after the event, the path stays short, personal and aimed at your goal.
The preliminary conversation covers the occasion, who is in the room, the length and the message that should stick.
Topics, examples and language are matched to the audience, so the talk belongs to your event rather than sitting beside it.
The talk is delivered with presence, timing and a sure hand with the audience, with a question round or panel afterwards if you want one.
If you want, the next step follows: a health day, corporate fitness or an accompanying programme, so the impulse does not end with the keynote.
FAQ
The essentials on topics, length, region, formats and how an enquiry runs.
The focus is on performing under pressure, health as a business factor, and discipline and change. The material comes from competitive sport, coaching and running a business, and is cut to the audience.
A keynote usually runs 30 to 60 minutes. Shorter talks are possible for health days or team formats. The length is agreed in the preliminary conversation.
The focus is Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen and the surrounding metropolitan region. Dates further afield can be arranged.
Yes. Talk and hosting from one person is a common format: a substantive opening, then guiding the audience through interviews, panels and the rest of the programme.
Conferences, client events, leadership groups, health days, anniversaries and internal conferences where health, performance or change are on the agenda.
After your enquiry with the occasion, date, venue and audience, there is a short conversation to establish the fit. A concrete offer follows with format, length and running order.
There is no flat rate, because the preparation differs considerably from one occasion to the next. The fee depends on format and length, the work needed to tailor the content, travel and date, and whether hosting is included. After the preliminary conversation you get a concrete offer rather than a range.
Four to six weeks is comfortable, leaving enough time for the preliminary conversation and tailoring. Shorter notice is possible if the diary allows, with tighter preparation. Booking early mainly secures the date.
A headset or handheld microphone, and a projector if slides are used. The talk also works without slides. What your venue provides is checked in advance, so nothing has to be improvised on the day.
There is no upper limit. At the lower end the format works well from about fifteen people. For smaller groups, a short input followed by discussion is usually more effective than a keynote from the stage.
In experience, motivation lasts a few days. So the focus here is not on mood but on structure people can transfer: tools such as the Middle Road and the Four Pots rule, which you can remember without notes and apply on your next working day.
Usually yes, if agreed in advance. How the recording may then be used, internally, on your intranet or publicly, is settled together before the camera rolls.
