Jasmin Wölke hosts leadership and management events in English and German: executive conferences, management meetings and leadership offsites. She moderated the SAP Tech Leadership Forum entirely in English, with eight panels in front of more than 300 senior leaders.
A room full of leaders is the most demanding audience
At an executive conference, the people in the room present for a living, run meetings every day and sell decisions to their teams. They recognise every stage trick, every rehearsed punchline and every question that is only asked so the prepared answer fits. At the same time, the stakes are high: this is where strategy is carried into the leadership team, and where it is decided with what attitude a hundred leaders return to their people. The host has to work at eye level, ask precise follow up questions and still never claim the main role.
Translating between the board and the leadership circle
The core of a management event is rarely the presentation itself but the conversation after it. What does the new structure mean for my department, what happens to the targets that were set a year ago. Jasmin moderates these passages so that real questions get asked and the answers stay concrete: she follows up when a phrase evades the point, and at the same time protects the person on stage from being put on the spot. In discussion rounds and Q&A blocks she keeps the balance between openness and pace. Confidentiality is the working basis: what is discussed in the leadership circle stays there.
Leadership experience at first hand
Jasmin worked in a corporate environment for more than ten years, at Bosch in international sales and marketing roles. She knows leadership events from the inside: as a participant, as an organiser and today from the stage. Her core topics as a host and keynote speaker are leadership, communication and transformation, and organisers often combine both: an opening impulse, then moderation through the day. The SAP Tech Leadership Forum with its panels and fireside chats is listed under references.
Formats and languages
Typical assignments: the annual leadership conference, the leadership offsite with working sessions, the management meeting after a reorganisation. When the day continues in small groups, workshop moderation with its own methodology takes over. In international leadership teams English is often the working language; Jasmin hosts in English, in German or switching between both, across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
