Leadership: Why empathetic leadership has a more lasting effect with ease
What if, as a manager, you were to truly lose your footing? Not figuratively, but literally. Keynote speaker and leadership expert Dr. Nikolai A. Behr was the first European to conduct a 360-degree interview in the weightlessness of a parabolic flight. This unique experience in zero gravity became a symbol of modern management for him: in a space with no up or down, no fixed grid, it quickly becomes clear what really matters.
In this inspiring speech for managers and entrepreneurs, Dr. Nikolai Behr brings his extraordinary experience from space back into everyday management. He makes it clear that successful leadership does not begin with control, but with a feeling for the dynamics of the space, whether in a meeting or in market change. Those who act too forcefully in zero gravity will veer off course. The same applies to leadership: only with sensitivity, clarity, and experience can you exert a lasting influence.

Leading with inner clarity: How emotional intelligence creates space for growth
This speech for managers offers a change of perspective: ease in leadership is not a sign of weakness, but an expression of confidence. In a time when change is becoming the norm, teams do not need dominant decision-makers, but compassionate companions. Empathy is not a “soft skill,” but a core competence for modern leadership. Today’s leaders must be able to listen, take on different perspectives, understand change – and question themselves.

Speaker Dr. Nikolai Behr uses his unique experience and many other practical examples from his many years of leadership experience as an entrepreneur to show how this attitude can be developed. This management speech focuses on leading with ease and shows entrepreneurs and executives how they can build trust through reflective behavior, create room for growth, and remain flexible and focused themselves. Leadership under real-world conditions means more than just managing crises; it requires orientation, empathy, and ease.
