Radical Humility: Be a Badass Leader AND a Good Human
With the world changing faster than ever before, increasing business competition, rapid technological change, and an incredibly diverse generation entering the workforce, a new, elevated style of leadership is required. This modern form of leadership is called leading with Radical Humility; a more human-centered approach that views humility as a key strength to achieving goals in today's complex world.
Radical Humility unlocks exactly how to deliver stellar business results with teams looking to mitigate burnout, overwhelm, exhaustion, resistance, and high turnover while promoting productivity, engagement, innovation, and creativity.
In this timely, highly actionable, and interactive keynote, Urs helps audience members implement his deeply researched and battle-tested Radical Humility framework that is grounded in his career in the leadership trenches as a UN peacekeeper, business executive, veteran executive coach, ultra-endurance champion, and widely published professor growing leaders on four continents.
Audience members will leave this presentation inspired by moving leadership stories and with a hands-on, concrete, and easy-to-use Radical Humility toolkit they can immediately implement to create a high-performance culture that is ‘tough on results and tender on people’.

Actionable Takeaways Tailored to Each Audience:
-Master the three-pillared Radical Humility Framework to drive engagement and productivity.
-Discover why digging deep for increased self-awareness is key to winning and how to go about it.
-Learn the one critical skill that is required to fail successfully and embrace a growth mindset.
-Learn how to drive high-performance team engagement by applying compassion while upholding the highest productivity standards.
-Learn how to build a fearless team by championing a culture of psychological safety, including an easy-to-implement exercise that you can try at your next team meeting.


THEN to NOW Leadership: How to Engage and Empower in a Complex World
Business leaders in today’s fast-paced, disruptive, and volatile business climate face leadership challenges that did not exist even five years ago: Delivering top business results with a highly diverse work force that is dealing with burnout, mental health challenges, and low retention. To successfully tackle these challenges, a new kind of leadership is required—a kind of leadership that lets go of what we used to do back THEN and embraces what we need to do NOW to drive stellar business results while deeply engaging our team members.
In this inspiring, interactive, and actionable presentation, Urs guides his audience through the implementation of his proprietary THEN to NOW leadership framework, which is based on his world-spanning career of developing leaders on four continents as a UN peacekeeper, executive, seasoned executive coach, ultra-endurance champion, and widely published professor.
Audience members will leave this presentation energized and ready to take action. They will walk away with a tangible and concrete THEN to NOW toolkit that includes a focus on psychological safety, empowerment, belonging, and a growth mindset that leaders can immediately implement to fully engage their people while holding them to the highest standard. The result is that the team members can do what matters most: delight customers and take care of each other along the way.

Actionable Takeaways Tailored to Each Audience:
-Master the 5 THEN to NOW Leadership Shifts to drive engagement, retention, and productivity.
-Discover why focus and saying ‘no’ are two of the most important ingredients for success, including a practical, hands-on exercise. Learn how to apply compassion while upholding the highest standards.
-Discover how to build a fearless team by championing a culture of psychological safety, including an easy-to-implement exercise that you can try at your next team meeting.
-Learn how to delegate and empower comprehensively.

He made great connections between our organization's strategy and leadership shifts that our leaders need to make to execute on the strategy. He gave tangible tools to our leaders and motivated them for the work ahead.
