Dietmar Dahmen Speaking Topics

How to Ride the "Sharks of Change"

Change is often seen as dangerous.

In “how to ride the sharks of change,” the fear of change attacking your “comfortable” status quo is embodied in an actual shark on stage, built on site and later often given to a charity of your choice.

Dietmar shows how you can't run away from this shark. You can't ignore it. You can't fight the change, either ... change is way too powerful. Dietmar then gets on top of the shark and rides it, demonstrating to the audience how riding the “sharks of change” is the best option to deal with change: It makes you faster, stronger, better, cooler.

Dietmar then deep-dives into the latest versions of the current "SHARKS OF CHANGE", such as up-to-date developments and best cases in AI , the Blockchain and other developments indicated by the client.

Dietmar makes the audience see the great power and huge opportunities of this change. He takes away the fear, encourages a "challenge" approach to the new and make it easy for the audience to see the need to be on top of the change in business and on top of latest tech.

The keynote uses easy to understand language and metaphors to address even highly complex concepts and topics, enabling the audience to fully embrace the new. And after the keynote, the audience can even ride the shark of change themselves…. literally.

A photo opportunity of the participants on the shark will serve as a powerful reminder of your event and to jump on top of the unknown and “ride it”.

Superheroes of Change

Filled with stunning best cases and valuable near future predictions Dietmar addresses both leaders and operational team-members alike. He gives insights on the latest trends and technology, AI driven organisations and marketing, and other topics the client might choose.

Business is Fight Club
