Jasmin Wölke gives keynotes in Leipzig in English and German: on leadership through change, collaboration and international teams. Leipzig is one of her regular locations with its own city page.
An audience that is still growing together
Leipzig audiences have one thing in common: many of the city's sites have grown strongly in a short time. Industry, logistics and energy shape the region, alongside a creative sector that goes its own way. The workforces include people who joined only a few years ago, who come from different company cultures and often from different countries. Whoever speaks here at the year opener or the leadership conference is talking to an audience that is still building a shared sense of us. A keynote can set the frame for that: it gives orientation, names honestly what is changing and shows what leadership has to deliver in such a phase.
Topics from real leadership responsibility
Jasmin speaks about leadership because she has led: more than ten years in international corporations, at Bosch most recently as a director with a team of 100 people across Europe and the Middle East, before that at SAP and in the Volkswagen Group. Her core topics: leading through change, collaboration between headquarters and sites, communication in international teams. For every talk she researches the company, asks in the briefing what is really on the room's mind right now and builds in examples the listeners know from their own daily work. The routine of more than 500 moderated events means she reads the room and reacts to it instead of playing back a script.
Venue, length, calendar
The setting shapes the talk. In a production hall in front of the whole workforce, the keynote needs clear messages and shorter blocks; in a city centre venue in front of executives it can go deeper. The usual length is 20 to 45 minutes plus Q&A, as the opener of the day, after the lunch break or as the bridge into the evening. When picking the date, the city calendar is worth a look: the Book Fair shapes the spring, and in December the Christmas market ties up venues and catering early. If international guests are in the audience, Jasmin delivers the keynote in English or switches language for the Q&A.
Enquiry for your keynote in Leipzig
Many organisers book the impulse and the day's moderation together: one briefing, one thread, one contact for the whole day. From Ludwigsburg, Jasmin travels by ICE via Erfurt, arriving the day before for morning slots. An overview of her topics is on keynote speaker, and keynote or moderation helps you decide which role is missing. For a quote, send occasion, date and audience through the contact form.
