Opening Ceremony, Banquet and Opening Keynote by Urs Koening (Explorer Ballroom)
In today’s fast-changing world, a new kind of leadership is essential—one that embraces humility as a strength. Radical Humility is a modern, people-centered approach that helps leaders navigate complexity, inspire trust, and drive results while reducing burnout, resistance, and turnover. In this engaging keynote, Urs introduces his Radical Humility framework, shaped by decades of experience as a UN peacekeeper, executive, ultra-endurance athlete, and global leadership coach. His practical insights empower leaders to foster innovation, engagement, and resilience in their teams.
