Keynote Speaker

"Get Real Innovation" is about how to build a truly innovative company and why it's so incredibly hard.

Innovation is the main driver of business success today. What do the most innovative companies like Google, Amazon, Tesla and many startups have in common? What methods do they use? How can you be successful, too? And what, in practice, has proven to be a mistake?

Using real, short, concise & practical examples based on more than 15 years of practical experience in innovation development, Lars helps his readers discuss these questions and find answers.

//THE DAY EVERYTHING CHANGED

It happened during a corporate innovation workshop years ago. As I watched yet another brilliant idea suffocate under the weight of process, I saw the spark fade from the team's eyes. In that moment, I made a promise to myself that would reshape my entire career.

THE PATTERN I COULDN'T UNSEE

Across boardrooms and brainstorming sessions, I witnessed the same story unfold. Brilliant minds with transformative visions hitting the same invisible wall. Their ideas deserved better.

THE UNEXPECTED DISCOVERY

What began as frustration evolved into curiosity. Could innovation success actually be engineered rather than hoped for? I devoted myself to finding out.

Years of experimentation led to an approach so counterintuitive yet effective that it changed everything. By building innovations like a portfolio of startups, we turned the notorious 90% failure rate completely upside down.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT

A prominent German corporation took a chance on this method when traditional approaches had failed them repeatedly. Within weeks, we accomplished what they hadn't achieved in years. Word spread quickly.

Today, seven of Germany's nine most innovative companies have become our partners. From global enterprises to nimble startups, leaders come when they need certainty, not just possibility.

BEYOND THE METHOD

After over 15 years and countless successful market launches, I still feel that same rush when I see an innovation finally connect with its audience. There's simply nothing like watching something powerful emerge from what was once just an idea on a whiteboard.

My engineering background gave me the tools, but it was immersing myself in the human elements of innovation that revealed the true path forward. When leaders invite me to guide their most important initiatives, they're not just getting a process – they're gaining a partner who's navigated this terrain countless times before.

I only commit to journeys I truly believe in, because I've learned that extraordinary innovation requires both methodology and genuine connection to purpose.

Some of the strongest people you meet
have earned their glow by sharing it.
Generosity expands you:

Not in theory, but in how you support others
when the stakes tighten around them.

There is a quiet confidence that grows
when you help someone rise.
You don’t shrink.
You gain presence.

When you make space for others, you build a reputation
that follows you everywhere.

Here are simple yet powerful actions that
build trust,
expand influence,
and lift everyone involved:

🕯️
Offer a skill you’ve mastered to someone still learning it.
It accelerates their path and refines your own understanding.
🕯️
Celebrate someone’s progress without comparing it
to your journey.
It shows you notice their effort, not their position.
🕯️
Share opportunities that match another person’s strengths.
Your credibility grows when you guide people toward
rooms that fit them.
🕯️
Check in on colleagues quietly, not publicly.
Support that isn’t performed earns real trust.
🕯️
Give encouragement that highlights the work,
not just the win.
People push further when they feel genuinely seen.
🕯️
Offer guidance without taking control.
Empowerment leaves a deeper imprint than direction.
🕯️
Let people borrow your belief until theirs strengthens.
Sometimes that’s the difference between hesitation
and progress.

The world doesn’t forget those who help others shine.
And the kindness you offer
always finds its way back to you.

Thanks for reading!

Partner to C-Suite & High Achievers: Shaping Modern Leadership ‣ Lived Experience ​> 3 Decades ‣ F100 Proven ‣ Wisdom + Growth so Executives, Founders, & Thought Leaders Thrive

If the team feels tense
around a “star,”
trust is sounding the alarm:

Toxic managers often look impressive on paper.
Results shine.
But people brace themselves in their presence.

That’s the first sign
something is cracking beneath the surface.
Not in metrics.
In the way people carry themselves around them.

Teams don’t unravel in one moment.

They erode through tolerated sharpness and leaders
who decide results outweigh respect.

Performance can hide damage temporarily.
Trust exposes it early.

If you want to know who strengthens your environment,
listen to the people closest to the work.
Their tone shifts.
Their initiative tightens.

You’ll see the truth long before the reports catch up.

🌐 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱:

Confront corrosive behavior early, 🔎
even from high producers.
A great quarter never justifies a draining presence.

Protect the environment your people depend on. 🛡️
Trust is your most reliable retention signal.

Build for endurance, not appearance. 🏛️
Healthy teams stay engaged, grow deeper,
and deliver beyond expectation.

Your best people watch who gets defended
and who gets excused.

Their commitment follows
what your culture reliably honors.

Hiring Signals Identity.
The people you bring in reflect your investment
in meaningful growth:

Some leaders search for comfort and end up
surrounding themselves with agreement.

Others search for progress and choose people
who think independently.

Early in my career, I misunderstood strength.
I thought I had to protect my expertise.
I treated many challenges as threats
instead of an advantage.

That mindset shrinks a team fast.
It limits what the room can become.
It limits what you can become.

Today, I look for the minds that stretch mine. ✔️
A sharper angle.
A bolder question.
A perspective I didn’t expect.

These catalysts move the work to a higher level.
They don’t take anything from you.
They raise the level of everyone in the room.

Teams advance when leaders bring in people who move
the work forward in ways they couldn’t have done alone:

➡️ They turn gaps into insight.
➡️ They refine decisions.
➡️ They strengthen momentum.
➡️ They widen the path for progress.

If no one challenges your thinking,
you’re not building a team.
You’re building insulation.

If your hires make you sharper,
they make the entire system stronger.

Most of what drains you sits outside your reach.
Great leaders protect the capacity
that drives real results.

The shift happens
when you stop treating every demand
as yours to solve.

Ownership shows when you direct your effort 
toward what genuinely advances outcomes.

⚪ Out of My Control
• Expectations formed long before I entered the conversation
• Narratives shaped by experiences I’ll never fully know
• Moments that turn suddenly without explanation
• Standards they hold for themselves, not for me
• Reactions fueled by their unseen stress
• Choices made without my input

⏺️ In My Control
• How I adjust my rhythm
• Where my attention goes
• The habits I strengthen each day
• The preparation I invest in before I move
• How I respond when conditions feel uneven
• What I reinforce through steady follow-through

When you stop absorbing what you cannot influence,
the choices ahead come into sharper view.

People depend on leaders who take responsibility
for what moves progress forward.

Discipline drives High Achievers forward.
Motivation never keeps pace.
Research backs it:

A recent study found that disciplined,
habit-driven performers showed about
23 percent higher consistency.

― Motivation helped them start.
― Discipline kept them returning.
―> That gap creates separation.

You see the same pattern in careers.
Missed deadlines slow traction.
📉
Momentum weakens.

― When discipline slips, results drift.
― Success mirrors habits.
―> Not moods.

High performers understand this.
They don’t wait to feel ready.
↓
They trust their systems:

Principles shape performance 🟩
Your actions align with the rules
you choose to live by.

Routines remove friction 🟩
They simplify choices.
They guide the next productive step.

Consistency compounds capability 🟩
Disciplined actions build
advantage long before it shows.

Motivation may spark movement.
Discipline builds the body of work. ✓⃝
It strengthens your reputation. ✓⃝ ✓⃝ ✓⃝

If 2026 is your breakthrough, choose
habits that stand firm when energy dips.
📈
That discipline becomes the signature
behind your success.

There comes a point in your career
when skill is no longer the test.
Your composure is:

Difficult people appear in every environment.
No title puts you above decency.
Pair kindness with strength.

I learned this in a meeting years ago.
A senior leader came in irritated, cut people off,
and tried to push his stress into the room.

I kept my tone even.
Asked one clarifying question.
Brought the conversation back to the work.

He settled.
The team regrouped.
The momentum returned.

𝟳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀
that help you stay grounded
when someone’s behavior goes sideways:

1. Read the charge before you respond.
 🟩
Most reactions come from pressure you can’t see.
Awareness keeps you from matching their spike.

2. Lower your volume, raise your precision.
 🟩
Calm language still carries strength.
It keeps you out of the emotional spiral.

3. Protect the conversation, not the comfort.
 🟩
You can redirect without absorbing their behavior.
Progress matters more than pleasing.

4. Ask one grounded question.
 🟩
A single prompt can interrupt tension.
It shifts the room back to substance.

5. Keep your body language anchored.
 🟩
Steady posture communicates self-respect.
People adjust when they see you won’t react impulsively.

6. Decide what you will not take on.
 🟩
Their frustration is not your assignment.
You manage the state you choose to operate from.

7. Close in a way that reflects your standard.
 🟩
How you exit the moment
often shapes how you’re remembered.

You are never too important to be nice to people.

That line isn’t about politeness.
It’s about the identity you protect
even when someone else loses theirs.

People trust patterns.
Not just promises.
Your choices build your reputation:

People watch how you handle situations
that come at you fast.

Those moments expose your judgment.
The ones that reveal what you’re made of
under pressure.

It's too easy now to look like a blinking star 
on social media.

Some just make a flash.
Others maintain and prove their rise.
You've seen it.

Burnout begins quietly.
You notice it
when the weight stops making sense:

You see it in the slowdown.
The hesitation.
The spark that dims a little each week.

Burnout isn’t a mystery.
It’s a buildup that leaders can prevent.

𝟵 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁
𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆:

𝟭. Unrealistic Expectations ⚠️
→ Pressure without direction weakens performance.
❇️ Set the real target. Strip away what competes with it.

𝟮. Lack of Autonomy ⚠️
→ Over-control slows talented people down.
❇️ Let them steer the work, not just carry it.

𝟯. Constant Firefighting ⚠️
→ Operating in emergency mode blunts judgment.
❇️ Build margin. Protect deep thinking.
Reduce preventable swirl.

𝟰. Invisible Efforts ⚠️
→ Quiet contributions eventually fade when no one
notices.
❇️ Acknowledge real impact while it’s happening.

𝟱. Low Psychological Safety ⚠️
→ Holding everything in drains people faster than
the workload.
❇️ Ask, listen, and respond in ways that earn trust.

𝟲. No Progress or Growth ⚠️
→ Stagnation pulls motivation to the surface
then drains it.
❇️ Offer stretch opportunities and feedback
that moves people forward.

𝟳. Poor Work Design ⚠️
→ Cluttered systems and meeting overload chip away
at energy.
❇️ Fix friction. Respect time.
Streamline the path to doing great work.

𝟴. Misaligned Leadership ⚠️
→ Mixed signals fracture confidence quickly.
❇️ Match commitments with action and reinforce
the standards you expect.

𝟵. Overreliance on the Same People ⚠️
→ Even the strongest contributors crack when the load
never shifts.
❇️ Build depth. Balance responsibility.
Protect your anchors.

Burnout rises when people feel alone
in the weight.
It eases when leadership shows up
with consistency, recognition, and reliable support.

You can outperform every target.
And drain yourself doing it.
Your decisions will tell:

Most people never admit this part.
The part where the results look great
but something inside feels off.

Uneven days expose that gap.
They make you question your pacing, your judgment,
your capacity.

They remind you that achievement means little
without stability behind it.

What looks like a setback from afar
is often where you see how you really operate.
Not the polished version. The actual one.

That’s where systems start to matter most.
Not to restrict you.
To keep you from burning through what you need
to stay effective.

The higher the stakes, the easier it is to push
past your limits.

Hard work can disguise depletion.
And depletion erodes the quality of your decisions.

People who last long-term notice the early signals.
They build small constraints that protect
their bandwidth.

Those choices ripple into sharper thinking
and calmer rooms.

Careers rarely unfold in a straight line.
They expand, contract, accelerate, pause.

The way you handle the unpredictable parts decides
how far you go.

If you’re in one of those seasons now,
don’t assume it’s regression.
It may be the part that’s shaping your next best level.

Smooth moments feel good.
Variable ones build capability you can use anywhere.
That capability is what creates real advantage over time.

🎥  credit = open source

You see it in the way
some leaders interpret tension.
They don’t just know EQ:

Conversation sharpens
when accuracy leads the exchange.

Relativity shapes the response
to each moment and the pressure within it.

These patterns reveal
leaders who understand behavior
at a deeper level.

𝟭𝟮 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 🧠

They listen beyond the words,
picking up tone and intent.
➯ They respond to what’s really asked.

2 = They Wait for the Right Door
They avoid pushing when emotions rise.
➯ They choose the moment that lands.

3 = They Defend Absent Voices
They protect reputations
even when someone isn’t present.
➯ Context and credit stay intact.

4 = They Share Selectively

but oversharing muddies direction.
➯ They share what moves work forward.

5 = They Redirect Without Force
They start with validation,

➯ The shift feels collaborative.

6 = They Audit Themselves First

7 = They Guard Focus
They treat attention
like a finite resource.
➯ Depth beats scatter every time.

8 = They Seek Brilliance Over Being Right
They welcome stronger ideas
even when it changes their plan.
➯ Curiosity fuels better outcomes.

9 = They Track the Human Pulse
They notice who is fading
beneath pressure or pace.
➯ Support comes before decline.

10 = They Spotlight Others Strategically
They give credit in places
that open real opportunities.
➯ Recognition becomes lift.

11 = They Lead Through Signals
Their smallest cues
shape how teams operate.
➯ Tone becomes culture.

12 = They Value the Effort
They honor persistence, thought,

➯ The hidden work gets seen.

Growth won’t happen in comfort.
It turns from the thresholds
you’d rather avoid:

You feel it when conditions get rough.
> Rain.
> Resistance.
The pull to take the easier route.

Comfort promises ease.
Discomfort builds a life you can stand on.
A life you earned.

Most people delay the work they know is theirs.
They wait for clarity to arrive clean.
They give the moment away.

The ones who rise move earlier.
They choose movement with intent over hesitation.
They build futures while others replay fear.

Your next level will not greet you politely.
☄️
It will ask for stronger choices.
It will demand a version of you
that isn’t ruled by comfort.

Growth feels like the ride in the rain.
> Cold.
> Awkward.
Unavoidable if you want more.

The life you deserve lives past resistance.
Past the excuses that protect old limits.
Past the stories that keep you still.

Start where most people stall.
Act before the feeling arrives.
Choose the lane that stretches you.

𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀
𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵:
✔️ A decision that trims distraction.
✔️ A habit that increases your capacity.
✔️ A boundary that protects your ambition.
✔️ A rep you repeat even on low-energy days.
✔️ A stretch goal that changes how you show up.

This pressure is direction.
Stay with it until you’re operating at a higher level.
