Strong When Everything Is Falling Apart – Emotional (Self) Leadership in the BANI World

By wdo, 18 December, 2025

FOCUS PEOPLE

Fragile, anxious, non-linear, and incomprehensible: the BANI world is fundamentally reshaping the event industry.

When budgets disappear, client expectations shift, and teams operate under constant pressure, good planning alone is no longer enough. Creating positive, engaging experiences requires emotional self-leadership and the ability to lead others with empathy and clarity.

In this talk, I show how emotional skills and emotional education can be purposefully applied in the event industry as a resource for leadership, team stability, and long-term resilience.

What does it mean to lead yourself and others through uncertainty – and how can organizations actively support this?

„This slot will be in German.“
