Keynotes
Keynote by speaker Laura Winterling: From Perfection to Excellence - Why Mistakes are Progressive
The aim and motivational basis of the lecture is to give individuals more confidence in themselves and more understanding for others and their behaviour. More open communication and the admission of mistakes should positively influence the internal company culture and show employees and management new ways of working together.
From macro- to microcosm: Furthermore, it should be illustrated that change never affects whole teams. The consequences of rapidly changing systems affect individuals at the beginning and at the end. Resentment and uncertainty fuel fears and symptomatically a decline in performance spreads through the entire corporate structure.
The keynote is intended to counteract this and is based on 3 pillars:
Self-Management
Team Building
Change Management
Furthermore, elements for efficient decision-making are included and will be illustrated with relevant examples from the aerospace industry.

Keynote by speaker Laura Winterling: Astronaut training and life on the ISS space station
How does one actually become an astronaut, what are the requirements nowadays at NASA and ESA, how does the selection process work and which hurdles have to be overcome to get the chance to be a candidate for a life on the ISS space station.
Basic training, selection for a flight to the ISS and the 3-year preparatory training require a lot of motivation and dedication from astronauts before, during and after a mission.
The International Space Station (ISS) is humanity's most fascinating outpost above the Earth. But how did it get there, who operates it and what do you do when you can't sleep up there as an astronaut?
Laura Winterling explains vividly and with many anecdotes from 10 years as an astronaut trainer at ESA the individual preparation steps and lets her listeners experience an exciting journey from the ground, via Kazakhstan into space and back.
Keynote by speaker Laura Winterling: Stop Wishing' - MotivAction - Motivational Coaching with a difference
Between boxing, weights and two wheels - so much we can transfer and take away from sport for our daily lives, we just have to look closely.
Why 'stop wishing' became more than just a tattoo and how much more there is behind these two words. From 'I wish' to 'I want' with some helpful insights from several years as a licensed LesMills instructor for MixedMartialArts and barbell training and passionate mountain biker.
Motivational talk with simple but very insightful transfers from various sports to everyday life.
Keynote by speaker Laura Winterling: Efficient decision making
Motivation: What are the main issues to be dealt with?
Why do we work better with some people in our daily lives than with others?
What does it take to be able to make decisions more quickly?
What can individuals do to make teamwork more efficient?
Focus: The individual, the person
No matter which teams you look at and who you take as an example - whether it's the top management of a large corporation, the buyers in a subcontractor or our astronauts - at the end of the day, the performance and tolerance of the individual often determines the success of many. If we know ourselves well, know how to realistically assess our strengths and weaknesses and, above all, how to apply them, then we have the chance as an individual to be more than just a piece in a group.
Recognising weaknesses and strengths means not standing in one's own way, being able to clearly, openly and objectively address and speak about one's own performance.
The added value is obvious: peers and colleagues can assess others more quickly, tasks can be assigned more directly and efficiently, and the implementation of lengthy processes gains the potential to become more agile.
The magic formula? Time*self-awareness*communication = agility.
Aim of the workshop:
To give time to recognise personality structures. First and foremost in oneself, secondly in others. Learning to accept oneself, to train openness towards one's own weaknesses and strengths, and to recognise the effectiveness that targeted communication of these qualities can have on the efficiency of teams.

Keynote by speaker Laura Winterling: CRM (Crew Resource Management) and MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator)
In the 1970s, investigators found that more than 70% of plane crashes were due to human error, not equipment or weather failures.
A NASA workshop examining the role of human error in plane crashes found that most crew errors were due to failures in leadership, team coordination and decision-making.
Crew resource management (CRM) methods can help aircrews avoid, manage and mitigate human error.
CRM can help the aviation industry and many other organisations reduce errors and improve their work structure, strategy and set-up by using human factors insights.
The MBTI instrument is a popular training tool for professional development and organisational improvement in all types of organisations.
In organisations and workplaces, the indicator is particularly useful for teams, for conflict management and performance improvement, for employee coaching, for management development or for executive coaching.
