Talks
Meaningful discussion and profound inspiration
In my talks I successfully combine dialogue, profundity and humour, in line with the motto “Jest, satire, irony and deeper meaning.”
What ideas do you have? How do you envisage the future? Let’s talk about it: with my examples and explanations, I respond to the personal and working lives of my audience members.
