Jasmin Wölke delivers keynotes in Mannheim: on leading through change, collaboration between plants and headquarters, and international teams, in English and German. From her base in Ludwigsburg, the city by the Wasserturm is about an hour away. All her Mannheim work is bundled on the city page.
An audience that checks every claim against practice
Audiences in Mannheim are a special case. The Rhine-Neckar region builds things: Roche Diagnostics runs one of its largest sites here, John Deere assembles tractors, Daimler Truck manufactures engines, and FUCHS, Bilfinger, Südzucker and MVV have their headquarters in the city. Anyone speaking to such a workforce is speaking to people who know processes inside out and instantly compare every claim with their own daily work.
An opening talk does not win this room with big slides. It wins with substance. Many companies in the region are in the middle of deep change: new drive technologies, new production lines, structures that grew over decades and are now being reordered. A good keynote takes exactly that seriously. It names what is hard, shows how other companies have handled similar shifts, and gives both leaders and employees something that still holds on Monday morning.
Substance from real leadership experience
Jasmin does not talk about leadership she only knows from books. She led for more than ten years in international corporations, most recently as a director at Bosch with a team of 100 across Europe and the Middle East, before that at SAP and in the Volkswagen Group. Her core topics: leading through change, the interplay between sites and headquarters, and communication in international teams. Every talk starts with a briefing in which she asks what truly occupies the room right now. From that she builds examples that fit your company instead of delivering an off-the-shelf speech.
Rosengarten, Capitol or your own production hall
The venue shapes the talk. A festive hall at the Rosengarten calls for a different cut than a production hall at the annual kick-off or the Capitol with its stage character. Length and depth are set in the briefing, from a compact impulse to a full talk with Q&A. When picking a date, look at the city calendar: the congress season in spring and autumn fills the Rosengarten and the hotels early, and in December the Christmas market by the Wasserturm ties up the city's venues. Because the journey is short, half-day formats and short-notice bookings work well in Mannheim.
Booking your keynote in Mannheim
Many companies book the impulse and the day's moderation together: one contact person, one common thread, one briefing for both. The topics are described on the keynote speaker page, and keynote or moderation explains how the two roles differ. For a quote, simply send occasion, date and audience through the contact form.
